On November 4, 20, the Wedding and Communion Hall Firanovios will begin its three days of services, products, and items related to celebrations, with a special focus on weddings and communions. The event spotlights new trends, innovative organizational formats, and the drive for originality in event planning and contract services. Visitors will find a wide range of services in the industry including photographers, bridal and formal wear, jewelry, music and entertainment, decoration, event planning, travel agencies, hair and makeup services, catering, ranches, and restaurants. More than 70 companies are expected to exhibit in pavilion 1, offering a comprehensive view of the sector.
In this edition, a highlight will be the traditional Firanovios podium, where bridal and celebration fashion parades take place. On Saturday, November 5 at 12:00, a special parade will showcase styles for children, aimed at parents seeking looks for their little ones.
Another feature is the Firanovios area titled “Your Perfect Day,” where attendees can enjoy activities, presentations, and showcookies designed to help couples plan one of the most important days of their lives more easily. Free activities include tips for selecting wedding dresses, a bridal makeup show, and presentations about honeymoon destinations.
