Compelled to produce a platform for elite members of the wedding industry, Sade Awe,president and founder of The Bridal Circle, orchestrated a full two-day event that encouraged the exploration of new ideas and strategies within the luxury-wedding arena. The intimate gathering – held at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort – provided unique experiences for attendees through in-depth exchanges, round-table discussions, and trailblazing keynote speakers. As guests shifted from the various segments, they were also introduced to artfully crafted décor fashioned by their peers in attendance. Each theme emphasized opulent components and avant-garde design treatments.
