Buoyed
by the resounding success of the first-ever SA Bridal Fashion week at Sun
International’s Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom in Durban in August,
GrandWest is now gearing for the Cape Town event taking place in October.
The
SA Bridal Fashion Week events in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg, come hot
on the heels of the hugely-successful New York Bridal Fashion Week and India
Bridal Fashion Week.
The SA Bridal Fashion Week will take place at the Market Hall, GrandWest
Casino, from the 16th to the 19th of October 2014.
Inspired by the International
Bridal Fashion Weeks, the programme will include a choreographed combination of
themed designer catwalk shows featuring exclusive new collections by local and
international designers, emerging and student designers, as well as boutiques.
The
event brings together the best ideas to inspire brides with a luxurious display
of offerings from the local wedding industry. 
Related staged showcases include
lingerie, hair, makeup, jewellery, shoes, accessories (including handbags,
veils and hair accessories), cakes, cable centrepieces, décor (includes table
decor), flowers, bouquets and an unique show that includes photographers and
videographers work. 
Fashion
Week Director, Yarisha Rajcomar-Panday, Actress and entrepreneur, and the visionary
behind the event says: "We had an overwhelming response for the first ever SA
Bridal Fashion Week, with the event starting in Durban in August and moving to
Cape Town in October and Johannesburg in November".
"The
line up of international, established, emerging and young designers from all
across the globe displayed a variety of western, african, indo-western and
eastern bridal couture in Durban."
She continues: "My vast experience and expertise from being
an actress and dancer allowed for my creativity to run wild while creating a
theatrical showcase of bridal related fashion, design and style elements. I
look forward to working with more designers from all across the world and
creating an international link with the fashion week for the annual
international event."
"GrandWest
is proud to host South Africa’s biggest and only national bridal fashion week.
While it is a fantastic opportunity for couples planning their wedding to see
the designs of some of the world’s foremost bridal designers, it is also a platform for
showcasing the work of local designers".
"Cape Town has many talented
designers and we look forward to finding out who will be representing the Mother
City' at the SA Bridal Fashion Week in Cape Town later this year," says Elouise
Matthys, PR Manager at GrandWest.
