On the same day, multi-awarded Wedding & Portrait photographer, Alvin Guevara shared photography tips to the crowd that gathered at the expo.

Walking along the booths you would feel as if you’re going through a wedding magazine, wedding suppliers from cakes, catering services, venue, stylist, designers, photographers etc., have definitely  brought game to their booths, I myself was part of the exhibit, featuring me dress shop, Kyrie Kouture along side my partner, Pau of Cakes N’ Styles. Among the other exhibitors are, Greenleaf hotel, Classic Weddings, Sugarts, Yolachs Venue, Neonas Catering, Mona’s Creation, Skinfluence, Alveo Land, AMS Events, and Jemaca Styles from Davao.

2^nd day, Mar 1, A bridal make-up competition was held and sponsored by Ever Bilena Cosmetics, models wearing bridal gowns rocked the stage along with their make-up artists. 

On the 3^rd and last day Mar 2, a make-up demonstration by Envy Me’s owner and resident kikay, Donna Mae Congson, wowed the crowd with her sweet and simple bridal make-up demo, which by the way, is modeled by yours truly . During her demo, Orman Manansala and Chiclet E. Moscoso-Rillo of Project O! Consultants tickled the crowd with their undeniable on stage chemistry, and narration antics. After the demo the audience were given the chance to ask Ms. Donna their questions regarding make-up, from what foundation and lipstick to use for different skin tones, and do grooms also get their make-up done during weddings, and everyone who asked questions received Ever Bilena goodies.

Right after the Q&A portion, the crowd and mall goers were serenaded with love songs performed by Nhallie's Band that ended the 3 day event with a bang.
