The Bridal Extravaganza Show will bring the excitement of New York City’s choreographed fashion shows to Houston with more formal fashion shows presented on the 60-foot runway stage than ever before.
Brides will discover what they need leading up to their big day – from the garter to the getaway car to the honeymoon and everything in between for the entire wedding party. Couples will leave the event with a digital list of all of their favorite vendors with the BrideScan app, which allows engaged couples to connect with wedding professionals via a QR code.
The biannual event draws marriage-bound couples from all over Texas and beyond to find invaluable resources and to register to win major prizes. Top prizes include romantic honeymoons, shopping sprees, a bachelorette weekend at the Westin of The Woodlands, a weekend escape at Deer Lake Lodge, a chance to win a staycation at a tiny house, and much more.
