Following the exhibition held in Ho Chi Minh City from August 12-14, the 8th HWP Wedding Exhibition continues in Hanoi in collaboration with co-organizer Meliá Hanoi Hotel. The exhibition will take place from August 26-28, 2016 at Meliá Hanoi Hotel, 44B Ly Thuong Kiet Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.

The HWP wedding exhibition will feature many exciting activities such as a Wedding Fashion Show, Try-on Bride Show, Perfect Couple Contest, and more.

After seven years of resounding success, continuously acting as a bridge between couples and wedding and honeymoon service providers, the HWP wedding exhibition is now one of the leading wedding events in Vietnam. The eighth year marks significant breakthroughs for the HWP brand, with the exhibition being held for the first time in Ho Chi Minh City; the launch of the wedding and honeymoon information channel hwp.vn; and the HWP Luxury Travel brand – specializing in 5-star honeymoon services.

The three-day exhibition in Ho Chi Minh City attracted nearly 10,000 visitors.

As a tradition and a special hallmark of the Exhibition, HWP introduces the most fashionable wedding trend each year. This year's theme is Wedding des Arts – celebrating the artistic touches in wedding spaces and the style of organizing and decorating a perfect wedding ceremony. Choosing a color palette of white, champagne gold, and blue, the Wedding des Arts theme, through the skillful hands of artisans, will be expressed in a sophisticated and luxurious way using only orchids, hydrangeas, and white roses, sure to make a strong impression on visitors. This trend is expected to be a sensation in 2016-2017 and has been chosen by many international celebrities for their weddings.
