Beyond Weddings

I’m pleased to announce a global media partnership between Guides for Brides & Beyond Weddings, and Wedded Wonderland for the highly anticipated Wedded Week online expo. This collaboration brings together influential platforms from opposite sides of the world, to offer couples a new way to plan their wedding, with access to international vendors, exclusive offers, and global inspiration. Wedded Week is a bi-annual online event that connects couples with over 500 industry-leading businesses and luxury wedding brands from around the world. It’s taking place from November 7-13 at www.weddedweek.com. #weddedweek #luxurywedding #global #weddingshowcase

For luxury venues and destination wedding planners, or those moving into luxury weddings, read on... The Wedding Table Design Conference and Exhibition in Istanbul is a good opportunity to meet top designers, venues and suppliers from the UK, Europe and further afield, at a reasonable cost. It is an international event, but for anyone interested in weddings in Istanbul, there are just 15 spaces available on a 2 day FAM trip immediately after the event. The event includes an exhibition of wedding designers work, including Paula Rooney and Sarah Haywood from the UK, B2B networking and speed dating, including Kaka Events and MyLahore venues, as well as international brands from popular destinations including the South of France and Monaco. To attend as a delegate, use this link: https://lnkd.in/ez6HqMvj  If you are interested in showcasing your venue or design business please PM me as I have a discount code I can share with you. I look forward to meeting up with industry friends there! Christina Holt, Wendy Daoud El-Khoury, Meltem Bayazıt Tepeler, Vandana Mohan, Shakoor Ahmed, Frank Oudwater
