Say ‘I do’ to iconic Durban bridal fair
East Meets West Bridal Fair in The Pavilion this October is set to dazzle any brides- or grooms-to-be and their families and friends. Plus, visitors can enter a fabulous competition and win great prizes.
WAIT for it… The comprehensive fifth annual East Meets West Bridal Fair is returning to Durban’s Pavilion Shopping Centre from Friday, October 25, until Sunday, October 27. Say ‘I do’ to all that the fair has to offer.
What’s mindblowing is that it is held throughout the centre, and it boasts myriad wedding-themed events, activations, exhibitions and displays designed to help couples and their families plan for their big day. The fair caters to the multi-cultural complexity of Durban, with its various faiths and cultural traditions. Over 30 exhibitors will be spread throughout The Pavilion showcasing everything from décor ideas to wedding cakes; champagne to suits; florists to henna; make-up to videography; bridal dresses to event planners; and honeymoon destinations to wedding jewellery.
Event highlights include carefully curated fashion shows, produced by Roberta Alessandri Events and Models, taking place in the main Fountain Court on Saturday and Sunday, which will showcase a range of designers; fashion houses; make-up artists; hairdressers; accessory providers; and support staff who specialise in weddings.
To top it off, shoppers stand in line to win a grand prize of a bespoke Durban wedding valued at more than R160 000 at the picturesque Macnut Farm Wedding and Function Venue in 1000 Hills, with all the trimmings and support for a maximum of 200 guests to the value of up to R50 000. Among the participants who have contributed towards the prize are: a wedding ring from Premjee’s Jewellers; a photography package, including video design, from Jon Ivins Photography; a midweek two-night getaway to Cathedral Peak from One Stop Tours; hair products and vouchers from Perfect 10; wedding dress hire from Wedding Whispers; a wedding crown and mugs from Queen of Crowns; a 100-page hardcover photobook from Burble; and an antenuptial contract from KL Attorneys.
To enter, shoppers simply need to complete the online entry form on www.thepav.co.za. Plus, they can visit the bridal fair exhibitors and scan the QR Code at each exhibition stand to enter.
The amazing Cirk band will be performing shows and conducting workshops throughout the weekend. Based in Johannesburg, and making a rare trip to Durban, Cirk is a team of skilled performing artists with an extensive repertoire of specialty aerial and ground acts.
