Every year something special happens in South Africa. There is…
The Wedding expo is usually held in Johannesburg and this year the Expo will also be taking place in Cape Town, South Africa on the 3rd and 4th of October.

Here are 7 reasons why we are going to The Wedding Expo in South Africa;
1. Inspiration Expedition
At Kenya Weddings we are all about inspiration. It is our fuel. And with over 100 luxury bridal companies at The Wedding Expo in South Africa, we are guaranteed to find wedding inspiration in hoards.

2. It’s Showtime!
South Africa has some of the world’s renowned fashion designers and their work will be on display at the fashion show during The Wedding Expo in South Africa. It is one thing to see these extraordinary designs online or on mannequins but at the expo, we get to watch these exquisite wedding dress, bridesmaids and groomsmen designs come to life as models strut the runway.
3. Beauty and the Bride
Cape Town is a magical destination. It promises a landscape that is so diverse and breath-taking. Take for example the magnificent Table Mountain which sits by the Atlantic Ocean. And then there is the modern cityscape that will challenge any preconceived notions you have about Africa. We will be in Cape Town for the bridal inspiration and we definitely take the opportunity to explore the beauty that this city offers.
