<\/p>\nIn early September, Bridal Times had the opportunity to visit the UK\u2019s largest bridal trade show, an impressive maze of halls filled with visitors, manufactures and designers within the bridal industry.<\/p>\n
The Harrogate Bridal Show is widely acknowledged as the biggest and most important industry buying event on the bridal calendar, showcasing\u00a0350 + collections, a mix of long-established brands and new, independent designers, offering retailers a vast choice of silhouettes, fabrics and price points.\u00a0 All aspects were covered, from suits and dresses to shoes and accessories, as well as childrenswear, evening and prom attire and bridal lingerie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can imagine it\u2019s hard for retailers to not get overwhelmed with so much to choose from and look at!<\/p>\n
But a good stop at the champagne bar is a great way to take a break, regroup and have a look at the show guide for the next exhibitor stop or fashion show.<\/p>\n
