Gorgeous gowns from Bliss Bridal Boutique took centre stage at Jamaica Bridal Expo 2022, held September 23 and 24 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre.
Each staging of the popular event showcases Jamaica as a premier destination for weddings, honeymoons and romance, bringing together local and international presenters to help brides plan the wedding they always dreamed of having.
As Bliss Bridal owner Sara E Stanford tells Jamaica Observer’s LetsTravelCaribbean.com, the collection she unveiled at this year’s show was an eclectic mix, her way of meeting the pent-up demand for all things beautiful.
“The show is always something that is such a joy for me to do. Being able to showcase… the products and services and what we have here in Jamaica to the international audience is awesome,” she gushed on the sidelines of the event.
“Normally I try to focus more on just destination. But… we’re coming out of COVID… the wedding industry [has] burst wide open. I just wanted to showcase all different styles; so from ball gowns to sexy mermaids to simple, elegant, timeless gowns, that was my goal for today and I hope I pulled it off!”
We think she nailed it…
Here are a few of the gowns that graced the catwalk:
