An International Bridal Buying Event

The London Bridal Show is the first show in the international bridal buying calendar, and the meeting

point for the entire bridal community. Retailers from across the globe come together for 3 days to meet with the top designers and manufacturers, view over 200 collections and create valuable business partnerships.

At The London Bridal Show anything is possible and everything is at your fingertips, from high end collections to budget ranges, occasionwear to accessories and shoes to special services. See page 8 for the new names joining us at the show this year, and turn to page 9 for the full list of exhibitors.

The Runway Shows will return for 2017, with stunning collections from top UK and international brands. This is a perfect opportunity for you to discover the latest trends for your brides and make the best buying decisions for the coming season. Turn to page 5 to find out which names will be gracing the stage at this year’s event.

We have an exceptional seminar programme planned, packed with thought provoking sessions delivered by leading industry professionals. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity for retailers, designers

and manufacturers alike to learn and be inspired. Turn to page 6 for a sneak peek at the seminar topics and speaker line-up. New for 2017 is the Business Advice Clinic, which will give retailers the opportunity to book one-to-one sessions with industry experts.

When the industry has the opportunity to come together under one roof, we think it’s cause for celebration! On Sunday 5 March we’ll be hosting a party in the champagne bar with drinks, special treats and live entertainment. Then on Monday 6 March, join us at the Kensington Roof Gardens for the annual RBA Awards sponsored by Perfect Wedding; a night of celebration, glamour

and entertainment. To book your tickets for the awards, please email georgia@bridal-uk.com.
