We encourage those who would love to relive their wedding day memories, showcase their gowns to friends, family and other brides to be to enter.
Why Should I Attend?
- The Canterbury Bride of The Year is a fun relaxed night out with your wedding party/family and friends celebrating the memories of your wedding day.
- It’s a fantastic opportunity to wear your gown again and relive that special day.
- You will be in great company and likely share your memories of your special day with others.
- You will be eligible to win some amazing prizes simply for showcasing your gown.
Who Can Attend?
We invite you to bring all of your friends, as well as your family and bridal party.
Also, included in the programme is a ‘people choice’ voting opportunity, therefore the more friends and family you have supporting you the more chances of extra votes.
Newly engaged couples are also welcome, to experience and be inspired by the gowns worn by our entrants and also view the new seasons’ gowns featured in the ‘2020/2021 Bridal Review’
What Can I Expect?
The evenings’ programme is a warm and friendly showcase of the current trends in wedding attire, featuring recent brides, bridesmaids and flower girls competing for the 2020 awards and prizes.
