A new addition to the list will be De Pastry Chef, which will be demonstrating their unique talent and skills in the art of sugar-pulling.
The 7th Malaysia International Wedding & Banquet Exhibition will be held at the following:
Time: 11am – 10pm
Venue: Atrium and Hall1, MVEC
Date: 23rd – 25th July 2010
With the huge success of the previous event, we sure hope that this time’s would be even more fun. So, don’t miss out this grand event in the middle of the year!
Red is the color of passion and love, as well as auspiciousness in the Chinese culture. Coincidently, Valentine’s Day for this year falls on the same day as the Lunar Chinese New Year. Thus, red is the most suitable color for the 6th Malaysian International Wedding & Beauty Exhibition, which is being held in the same month as both celebrations.
With a Touch of Auspiciousness
This time around, seeing that Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day are the upcoming events, we get to see displays of Chinese-themed gowns (cheongsam, embroidery etc) and bridal gowns with rose and floral motives (roses being the most popular flower during Valentine’s Day). Most of the banquet settings, especially those by Chinese banquet restaurants had incorporated classic Chinese themes into their designs and the menu, as seen at the participants along the Hotel & Restaurant Avenue. The long stretch of the avenue finally ends with HYT Travels, with various attractive New Year and honeymoon package rates all on display.
Fabulous Bridal Fashion Showcase
Banquets aside, the bridal fashion show is another main attraction, with Mon Liza Wedding Castle, and all time favorite Ivory Romance dishing out their best. Mon Liza’s show on Saturday was a colorful display of Victorian-style bridal gowns and evening ball gowns, complete with lace, flowers and ruffles; as well as classic cheongsam with dashes of glimmer and delicate embroidery; all in the brightest colors of spring; thus named its theme as the return of spring—a fresh start to all life forms.
Ivory Romance, on their Sunday show, gave us a brilliant performance as well. For the show, they’d invited celebrities Nasha Aziz and Peter Davis as guest models, along with Rhythm and Hits as the accompanying dance troupe. The range of their gowns on display varied, from conventional white gowns to cheongsams with a contemporary twist in designs and texture, plus shimmering figure-hugging dresses. However, the most eye-catching of the series are the red & black evening gowns and matching all-black glittering groom’s suit, which exude an air of darkness, mysterious and elegance.
Activities and Events
While the bridal fashion show remains the spotlight, other activities added more excitement to the overall event. Shills Beauty offered a live demonstration of their slimming patch and various other beauty products while giving out free gifts to the participants of the live demo, including a swan-shaped Swarovski crystal pendant.
During intermissions, Regal Orchestra presented the audience with a wide range of musical performances by a few live bands under their banner—the Chinese orchestra quartet with their classic Chinese love-songs as well as interesting Eastern-Western mix; the strings and keyboard trio of Hikaru with their all time English favorites; and a contemporary live band belting out popular hits and nostalgic oldies.
At the end of the day, most waited by all, is the Grand Lucky Draw Contest. Starting at 8:30pm, the contest will see 17 consolation prizes worth up to RM4000 and more, plus three top winning prizes, along with free album case, awarded to the lucky couple. Of course, the lucky couple, upon receiving their price, will be asked to complete a ‘task’ set by the host, such as singing a love song to his/her spouse, while the crowd cheered on for the couple. Wedding.com.my, the official website of the event, had been invited as the guest of honor to draw the winner’s name and present them their prizes.
The Conclusion
All in all, it was definitely three fun-filled days for all visitors, and three busy days for all the participants. We certainly need to express our gratitude to The Concept Exhibition, for all their effort and creativity, in bringing us this successful event with all its interesting programs and activities.
However, this will not be the only activity that will be for year 2010, as The Concept will be presenting us with more events for the months to come, including the 1st Malaysian Baby Children and Parent Expo in the late quarter of 2010.
The finale of the 3-days event was indeed remarkable, as a huge crowd, where its sheer number certainly surpassed our expectation, almost overflowed the atrium when the emcee announced the start of the Grand Lucky Draw. The smiles and laughter from the lucky couples, as well as the cheers from the audience before the stage made the perfect last note for the encore that announced the end of 2009.
In all its wintery glory, the 5th Malaysia International Wedding & Beauty Exhibition had its perfect wrap-up amidst thousands of happy visitors. In the spirits of the Christmas season, soon-to-be-married couples are not the only visitors here; grandparents, parents, siblings, and even friends have tagged along, lending a helping hand or giving a thought or two as the couple made their choices of bridal attire, banquet and reception venues, or photographers.
Making their way towards the entrance, visitors will be greeted first on sight—a row of elegant or stylish dining settings with ornate silverware down the Hotel & Restaurant Avenue, or various gowns and dresses in vibrant hues and magnificent, intricate designs lined along the pathway within the exhibition hall. While the booths of restaurants and hotels are a sight to behold, the real limelight is on the bridal studios. Past the entrance, into the middle of the hall, and you will find a lively parade of dresses and gowns—some with merry hues of the Christmas festive seasons, others being embodiment of the pure white snow in winter.
Of course, a bridal fair will not be complete without the Bridal Fashion Show, and the 5th Malaysia International Wedding & Beauty Exhibition has presented with two equally impressive shows for both Saturday and Sunday. De’ Paris Image once again made their winter season debut in style, this time with puffy, Victorian-styled snow-white gowns leading the way, followed by evening gowns with Christmas hues, and lastly, cheongsams with a modern twist in flamboyant festive colors; each gown represents the different facets of the bride—pure cuteness, sensual alluring, and elegant beauty.
For Ivory Romance, a long-time established bridal fashion house, their presentation was equally fantastic, if not, with more extravagance. In between energetic dances, their latest gowns from the Rosette and Crystal editions were paraded one by one, from pure white bridal gowns to majestic evening gowns, rounding up with their specialty—shimmering, stylish cheongsam, and this time with more subdued, elegant colors, exuding an air of lavish luxury.
In between the on-stage activities, visitors are treated to delightful traditional Chinese orchestra music, performed by the Regal Orchestra, and a brief vocal performance as well.
All in all, it is a merry occasion for the visitors as well as the participants, and making all this possible is The Concept Exhibition, having previously brought to us grand bridal events and fairs. As the event’s website partner, Wedding.com.my wishes to express our gratitude, as well as honor, to be given this opportunity to participate in this glorious event.
Last but not least, a big thanks to all of you who have lent your support for us, for the event and the organizer; and we hereby wish you a merry Christmas!
