To say that the event is a success is an understatement, especially when you have been there yourself. The weekends have seen a steady stream of visitors throughout the whole day for the 7th Malaysia International Wedding & Banquet Exhibition, despite there being 2 other fairs held at adjacent halls in the Mid Valley Exhibition Center.
Just like the previous fair, a number of renowned bridal studios and service caterers—a few already big names back at their home states or in the global market, have been invited to participate in the event. A walk down the Hotel and Restaurant Avenue and you will find well-known international names such as The Banker’s Club, Equatorial, Swiss Garden and Ah Yat & Unique Seafood among all the exhibitors.
Bridal studios are never short on renowned names, which include established local designer brands such as Ivory Romance, new brands such as Vivi Bridal and of course, brand names from Taiwan and Hong Kong. The best of bridal fashion trends is revealed in the fashion shows, in which Vivi Bridal and Ivory Romance have presented us with a spectacular array of bridal gowns and evening dresses—a credit to their designers’ brilliant effort.
Dresses and attire aside, Lence Ladies’ Academy isn’t losing out on the stage show either, with their demonstration on creative bridal make-up that brings out the best in every bride. Exotic eye make-up, sprinkles of rhinestones and glitters at the right outlines indeed look like magical touches applied.
While the fashion shows and make-up demonstrations usually steal the limelight, the cake decorating session by De Pastry Chef’s experts are no less impressive, what more with the free cake-sharing session once they are done with their demonstration.
In between each session of activities, Love Story Event presented to us their jazz band the Elements, entertaining visitors with a wide variety of songs—upbeat contemporary rhythms, classic romantic pieces, duets by the female and male lead singers, as well as solo feats by each member of the team. The saxophone solo tops the performances, although the vocal feat by their singer/keyboardist and their guitarist is equally amazing as well.
However, nothing drew the crowd like the Grand Lucky Draw, as the atrium was fully crowded even before the official start of the activity. For the 20 couples who won the prizes, it is definitely a huge surprise, and for some, a heart-warming, touching day when their other half proposed to them on the spot.
For couples tying the knot in early year 2011, this is about the right time for preparations and planning, what more with the upcoming wedding exhibition that guaranteed a wide range of choices, services, as well as interesting bargains.
Held for 3 consecutive days, the 7th Malaysia International Wedding & Banquet Exhibition is The Concept Exhibition’s latest bridal event. The exhibition, one of the grandest events in mid-year, hails the participation of more than 28 renowned bridal studios and bridal houses from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and also from our own local talents; as well as 5-star banquet restaurants and hotels all around the nation.
Choices aside, the attractive bargains are the magnate for most visitors and buyers, which include the following: up to 50% package discounts available at all booths, free goodies and prizes worth up to RM500’000; and for buyers who have deposit RM500 and above in any booth, all will stand a chance for the Grand Lucky Draw Competition and win the 3 grand prizes- RM30’888 for First Prize, RM20’888 for Second Prize and RM10’888 for Third Prize; excluding the 17 Consolation Prizes which covers honeymoon packages and beauty care offers too.
Of the list of featured programs this time around, Ivory Romance and a few famous local designers will be there to showcase their latest designs in bridal fashion, while Love Story Event will be happy to perform their lovely ensembles for all the visitors present. 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.
