Story and Photosby DEBBIE CHAN
A DREAM-LIKE fantasy and romance cloaked Carcosa Seri Negara when it held its first Bridal Fair in collaboration with weddingsmalaysia.com recently.

The fair was also aimed at promoting Carcosa Seri Negara as a potential venue for couples intending to tie the knot.
Being a heritage building, the hotel presents an exclusive location, luxurious ambience and a distinctive setting for such a memorable event, said general manager Carla Petzold-Beck.
The photography aspect of the wedding was represented by ex-hibitors like Signature Photogra-phers, Covershots and The Wedding Shop, Manggis, Davelab Motion, and KidChan Studio.
Wedding planners were represented by Tres Beau Momento, I Do Weddings, and Events Wizard.
Couples looking for floral arrangement were awed by One Red Lily, Garden Fairies, and Floral Etc while de-Catano, Margaret Mccallum Weddings and That Special Occas-sion presented an array of wedding gowns and suits.
Other services, including cards, gifts and chocolate decor, were represented by Sunflower, Wicked Wax, Beauty Haven, Just Heavenly, Chocolate Chapters, Pernod Ricard, The WeddingCard Shop, Eleena Lamat and Avicenna Studio. High fashion jewellers Mouawad also participated in the fair with their exquisite and creative pieces of jewellery.
