The Bride Show 2012

All I have to say is thanks for technology! As it is not possible for some of us to attend certain events across the world. Anyways, I did some searching to capture some of what happened during The Bride Show 2012 in Abu Dhabi. According to albawaba this is its 15th year and there were 350 exhibitors along with over 16,000 visitors from around the Middle-East. Here is something I came across that I found quite interesting Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed Rashid Al Maktoum established Dubai Woman Establishment with the purpose to as they state 'introduce its members to events and services through external collaborations'

Some American and Canadian companies that sponsored show that I recognized from the top of my head where Pond's and MAC. I really hope to see more American companies sponsoring international events like this. I think it creates a unity among all woman across the world and a opportunity to learn from each other. Ok now for some fun! Here are some designs during The Bride Show 2012.


These are from Day 1. To see more visit here.






Now, for some beautiful pieces!
