UAE Bride Show Displays $46K Wedding Dress

One of the feature attractions at the 2008 Bride Show Abu Dhabi was a dazzling AUD$46,000 wedding dress seeded with more than 200,000 Swarovski crystal beads. The dress was designed by ECRU, which has also designed bridal wear for the Kuwaiti royal family and other high-profile Middle East clients. According to Ankur Batra, the designer, the dress took more than three months to complete.

The Bride Show Abu Dhabi featured more than 200 exhibitors and is the largest show of its kind in the United Arab Emirates. The show also also featured a large number of the area’s most well-known fashion designers who displayed both wedding and everyday wear. In all, visitors were treated to sixteen bridal and non-bridal fashion shows showcasing both traditional and modern bridal and evening wear by some of the UAE’s most exclusive designers.
