Once again Si Sposaitalia Collezioni – the exhibition organized by EXPOCTS in the pavilions of Fieramilanocity from June 22 to 25 – confirms its leadership. Created as a B2B event that welcomes buyers from all over the globe, the exhibition has also become a worldwide trendsetter for the wedding industry. Results have skyrocketed: exhibition space has grown to 14, 000 square meters and over 160 collections will be presented. There is even a waiting list for next year's edition. These impressive statistics confirm that Si Sposaitalia Collezioni is, more than ever before, a point of reference for the sector, with over 5, 000 buyers from all over the world, and a show that combines quality and creativity.

This is the reason for the growing number of exhibitors, including many haute couture and high-end foreign brands. Jenny Packham, the British designer for "diva weddings", has reconfirmed her presence this year. Ms. Packham did Nicole Kidman's gown last year, and this year she did Elisabeth Hurley's dress for her Indian nuptials, which the media proclaimed the "wedding of the year". Her collection features luxurious and sensuous fabrics decorated with extraordinary hand-crafted artisan elements that make each gown unique.

Daring sensuality is also the theme of "The Boudoir Collection" by Complice Couture Design. This sensuous line is produced with superb fabrics and is famous in Greek television. This triumph of sensuousness also includes Italian products that reveal great creativity and haute couture design. Giovanna Sbiroli transforms brides into Queens, passing from the modern Queen Rania of Jordan to opulent Marie Antoniette and the eccentric brides of "The Chronicles of Narnia". Entirely hand-embroidered pieces turn the gown into a unique jewel.

Meanwhile, Floranna focuses on sensuous femininity with light, luminous flower-dresses with necklines, shoulder straps and accessories in luxurious crystal chains. There are many other famous labels: Gay Mattiolo, Renato Balestra, Lancetti, and Luciano Soprani with impeccable men's formalwear, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, David Fielden (the ccentric London designer loved by Kate Moss and Christina Aguilera) and the British Ian Stuart Bride that designs for the royal family. Spanish brands are also participating, including Rosa Clarà, who designed Esther Canadas' dress for her wedding to Sete Giibernau and uses an exceptional combination of silk and organza zigzag stripes to create a striking modern.
