Mahogany Bridal Fashion Show
Hundreds of guests from across Europe

The Mahogany Bridal Fashion Show, Europe's only fashion show for African Caribbean brides, grooms and family members took place on Sunday 21st March at the luxurious Holiday Inn Bloomsbury in London. The show is now in its 13th year and is growing from strength to strength. Throughout the day the exhibition attracted hundreds of guests from across Europe who attended to view displays from exhibitors that include everything a bride requires for that all important day; from decorative features such as chocolate fountains and champagne fountains to photography, cake decorators, wedding planners and menswear to name but a few. Asides from the exhibition Mahogany knows it is important for a bride and groom to feel special on their wedding day and this includes the all important task of picking the correct attire to suit them. This is where the fashion show comes in.
There were two fashion shows featuring an array of designers who showcased everything from traditional, alternative and African inspired wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses as well as menswear. Designs showcased included those from Anthony Formal wear who displayed exquisite suits for the groom, My Tailored Suit who also specialise in menswear that is custom made to fit the needs of a groom, Diva-Luscious who combined African fabrics with a modern touch, Latibeau who displayed a wide range of ethically made silk dresses, B-D’vine traditional bridal wear with a twist, Samantha Roach who's unique collection would suit an exquisite bride, and 16 year old Tarell McIntosh who stole the show with his Vivienne Westwood inspired African collection 'A dress for the cultural bride'.
The next Mahogany Bridal show will be next year where once again Mahogany will endeavour to cater to all the things a bride and groom require for their wedding day, all under one roof.
