"For more than a decade, European Bridal Week has united buyers and exceptional brands from across the globe in Essen, Germany — growing into the leading international trade show in Northern Europe.
As the true hub of bridal, this year's theme "Embracing Artistry" is an invitation to celebrate creativity in all its forms. It speaks to the visionaries, the designers, and the retailers who value craftsmanship and innovation, and who together shape the future of bridal fashion.
European Bridal Week is more than a showcase — it is a stage where imagination meets expertise, where ideas become designs, and where a vibrant community comes together to honour the beauty and artistry of bridal."
