Secret Brides Business

I have been waiting very patiently for today and the Secret Brides Business Event. I booked tickets to it months ago and have been counting down the days.

With no real idea what to expect, my wonderful BM and I made our way to the Shangri-La Hotel for our 2pm session. When we arrived we were given a booklet on the afternoon’s events and our makeup & nail appointment times.

We made our way down to the entrance of the grand ballroom to find a handpicked selection of Sydney wedding experts. Each area of your wedding planning was covered with a single expert supplier, for you to meet with & see their work. All the while collecting little gifts from the suppliers and champagne freely flowing all around.

After the vendor showing we all went into the grand ballroom to enjoy a champagne high tea while we watched a bridal runway show.

The show had gowns from Alex Perry, Joanne Panzarino, Louise Alvarez, Mark Holt and several othes. The room was gorgeously themed by Michael Cartwright in several different styles, which was great to see in real life.

The entertainment was average, but as we had a great group of people at our table we didn’t really mind.

After our high tea we went up to the 36th floor and WOW! talk about spectacular views! more champagne, chocolates, topless waiters and our makeup & nail appointments.

One of the big stuff ups was that both our make up appointments were scheduled for after 5pm. But luckily my BM was able to be squeezed in (as we wanted her make up done for a big night out) and she looked Fantastic!

I will contact Secret Brides Business on Monday and see what can be done about my trial.

As things started to wind down we collected our gift bags full of treats, gifts, magazines, make up samples and discounts.

While a few things could be improved upon for next year’s event, all in all we had a fantastic time and left feeling quite pampered
