FASHION PARADES
OUR FASHION PARADE
Our fashion parades bring glamour, class and style to the catwalk. The fashion parades held at the Bridal and Wedding Expo are not your average shows. We have exclusive and one-of-a-kind designers featuring in the show.
A newly designed show means latest trends in the bridal and menswear industry, featuring glowing models and styling inspiration.
The first parade is showing at 11am and the second to show at 1pm. You will love our range of gowns and menswear. Take a peek at our fashion parade from the January Bridal and Wedding Expo fashion parade.

EXPERIENCE LOUNGE
A BRIDAL EXPOS AUSTRALIA EXPERIENCE
We launched our very first experience lounge experience in July 2018 which was a massive hit and success for our brides. Offering something a little different to the usual bridal expo offering, brides and their companions are invited into the beautiful zone to taste, touch, trial, feel and be pampered by exhibitors in this space.
