Announcing Winners at European Bridal Week Awards 2024
A key ingredient in the European Bridal Week success story has to be the industry awards that recognize outstanding businesses. At a glamorous event held at Essen's “Colosseum Theater” on Sunday 14 April, the second day of EBW 2024, many hundreds of guests – exhibitors and show visitors as well as local dignitaries, including the Mayor of Essen, Rudolf Jelinek, who presented influencer Kennedy Bingham with the inaugural Trailblazer Award – celebrated in style.
What makes this awards program score points over others is that retailers themselves have cast their votes, only one per award category, and collectively made the decision as to which suppliers among the 500 exhibiting labels at the show, are most deserving of that coveted title.
The Awards program, hosted this year by the high-flying Italian presenter Pietro Polidori, is a demonstration of passion, pride, and that all-important ethos of making a difference. Being a finalist shows the belief that others have in a supplier's ability to set the trends and deliver quality and style that sets them apart; making it to that last stage is a true achievement and certainly something to celebrate. It shows that particular design houses are special... and different.
