Bridal Fair Escapade: Crowne Plaza Bridal Show

-

Dear Online Diary,

"It’s elegant and cozy."

That’s how H2B and I describe the bridal fair that we attended yesterday, October 24, 2009 sponsored and held at the Crowne Plaza Grand ballroom.

The bridal fair has carefully chosen suppliers such as Imagine Nation, Paul & Joe, L’Oreal and Z Mobile Bar to name a few. Teddy Manuel did a great job in styling the event inspired by Victorian era. Lots of freebies and gift packs were given away to lucky couples (we got two!) while free cocktail drinks from Z Mobile Bar and food from Intercontinental Hotel and Crowne Plaza were served throughout the event. The highlight of the fair was a bridal fashion show featuring the creation of noted young designers.

We're lucky we did not go home empty-handed. We won some of the prizes at stake during the event. Thank you very much to the sponsors.

The night ended with a great cocktail party after the fashion show. Kudos to Crowne Plaza for a very successful event. It's by far the most organized bridal fair that we have attended.

As a bonus to this great experience, we received nothing but superb customer service from the Crowne Plaza staff. We commend all of them for being nice and attentive.
