Millennium and Copthorne Bridal Show 2006

Introduction

March heralds the new wave of bridal shows and wedding events for 2006. If you've picked up a bridal magazine lately, it's almost inevitable that you'll come across the multitudes of bridal shows by the various hotels and restaurants being held this month. So what's the real draw to one of these events? I believe it's simply to see firsthand what is the best and most romantic wedding money can buy. If not that, at least these bridal shows offer a great insight to a beautiful wedding.

So if you missed the opportunity to head down to the first wave of bridal shows in the early part of March, you can still get some ideas and tips from us. Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel held the abovementioned bridal show on the 12th March 2006. If some of you are wondering where that is, it's the huge hotel next to Zouk. Here on the 4th floor of the hotel, we find the Grand Ballroom.

Trinity candles and ornate flower arrangements light up the walkway for the wedding couples within the Grand Ballroom.

 

At the crossroads to the showrooms, light up your way with candles.

Within the smaller meeting rooms, each of the four hotels will dazzle you with their furnishings and decor. Of course, their catering sales teams are also available if you need any information on holding a wedding on their premises.

Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel

Ornately decorated dining table with a 5-tiered wedding cake.

 

Personally, my favourite centrepiece for the event. Elegant yet suitably conveys a sense of romance.

 

Sometimes, a simply decorated tabletop can look remarkably good.

Copthorne King's Hotel

Going with 4 different table settings to cater to different tastes.

 

A western setting with an oriental touch.

 

Metal figurines joined in union.

M Hotel

A traditional chinese dinner setting with a twist. Stylish glassware teacups replace the ordinary ceramic ones for a new age glassware setting.

 

A simple flower and candle arrangement.

 

An innovative wire netting adorned with red roses adds a feeling of sophistication.

A cutesy bear-in-glass arrangement that's sure to appeal to stuffed toy lovers.

Fashion Show (Wedding Gowns & Evening Gowns Galore)

What's a bridal show without the latest in gowns? Amidst the dining within the Grand Ballroom of Grand Copthorne Waterfront, Irene's Creation takes centerstage with its new gowns for 2006.

A truely East meets West combination.

 

Frills and Thrills.

 

In case you haven't realised, big bows are the 'in' thing this season.

 

Few black gowns look as flattering as this one.

Merchant Showcase

Let's not forget the exhibitors at the bridal show. Many of them offering great deals to the wedding couples who attended. It makes planning for the wedding that much easier when the people come and find you instead of the other way around.

Get into shape and look great on your special day.

 

Make-up, moisturizers and more.

 

Hairstylist for the stars, Jonal Chong.

 

It's never too early to start planning your honeymoon.

 

Kick back and relax with spa treatments.

 

Still wondering what to get for wedding favours?

Conclusion

There's no lack of bridal shows this time of the year but it's rare to find one that offers you 4 choices of venues in one event. Not to mention that good food is always a draw. For those who attended the bridal show, I'll leave you remembering the Steamed Fish Fillet and the Stir-Fried Prawns with Crispy Rice. For those who didn't get to attend the event, I'm afraid you'll just have to make do with dessert.

If you stare hard enough, you can almost taste it.

 

For those of you with a sweet tooth, yes, it's a dessert buffet.

 

I would love this dessert for the mandarin oranges alone.
