The Must-See Runway Looks From The 2018 Bridal Bazaar

The Bridal Bazaar featured the biggest names in bridal fashion with the most sought-after designers at this year’s expo.

Hosted by Erin Holland and Donny Galella with MC John Alten, The Bridal Bazaar 2018 showcased over 100 suppliers across multiple runways, exhibition stands, installations, and live performances at the Waterview Venue in Bicentennial Park. It was a night to remember with special guests such as fashion blogger Elle Ferguson, Leah Da Gloria, Jason James, House of Emmanuele, George Elsissa and more!

The runway collection reflected the night’s Winter Wonderland Nutcracker theme. With a line up of Australia’s most sought-after designers, the runway showcased romantic, elegant and showstopping bridal wear. The makeup and hair seen on the runway was under the creative direction of Melissa Sassine Makeup and Natalie Anne hair using Joico products, with Josh Flinn as the runway producer.

In theme for The Bridal Bazaar, Melissa Sassine created soft, romantic looks featuring luminous skin, blushed cheeks, dreamy highlights and a soft pink on the lips. The bridal makeup looks created by Melissa Sassine Makeup were as delicate and stunning as the gowns seen on the runway.

Creative director for hair was celebrity hairstylist Natalie Anne who created four different hairstyles for brides using Joico products. Natalie Anne was assisted by Exquisite Bridal Hair and hair products were supplied by Joico products. Models were seen with middle part low bun, low glossed pony, soft glamorous waves and statement hair pieces from Bridal Blue, Stephanie Browne and House of Emmanuele.

The Winter Wonderland runway concept was styled by Diane Khoury Weddings and Events decor and furniture from Harbourside Decorators. This stylish set up featured John Emmanuel Florals, Jay Production and Events, Letters by LouLou, White Label Hire and Born To Party Hire.
