17th Annual Uniquely Yours Bridal Showcase in Virginia Beach Feb. 22, 2026

Satin and solidarity filled the Virginia Beach Convention Center today as the Uniquely Yours Bridal Showcase presented by ASTRO Event Company returned for its 17th annual run, staging runway and vendor activity from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday, February 22, 2026. The room read like a bridal directory come to life - multiple mini-shows punctuated the afternoon while exhibitors manned booths along 19th Street.

Bridal bargain hunters found the pop-up shop hard to resist. Headlined "Find Your Dream Dress at an Even Dreamier Price!" the on-site sale was hosted by Avenir Bridal Boutique and The Main Event by Emily, with the stated promise that you can "browse, try on, and purchase your gown on the spot" and that "No appointment is necessary." Racks of discounted gowns and immediate purchases kept the energy brisk and practical for brides aiming to "Plan the Wedding of Your Dreams in a Day!"

The showcase stuck to a multi-vendor format: runway/mini-shows mixed with vendor booths and service tables. Exhibitors named in promotional materials included Avenir Bridal Boutique, Blush 757, Citrine Bride, David Champagne Photography, Express Valet, Incredible Edibles Bakery, Mt. Fuji Private Hibachi, Norfolk Botanical Garden, Smooth Moves DJs, Town Center Virginia Beach, DJ Taylor Haycox, and Dustin Lewis Images, with Showbride also listed as a participant. Entertainment partners surfaced across the roster - Astro DJs and Smooth Moves DJs were among the audio vendors referenced - and promotional photography carried credit lines reading "Photos courtesy of Dragon Photography Studio."

Community giving was threaded through the programming. Each year the showcase features a breast cancer survivors fashion show tribute and donates a portion of ticket proceeds to Susan G. Komen for the Cure; organizers note, "To date, we’ve proudly contributed over $45,000 to this vital cause." Gold Sponsors for 2026 named on the event page include Astro Event Company, Big Top Entertainment, Dragon Studio, the Virginia Beach Convention Center, and Wanderlux Travels by Nova Vacations.

Logistics stayed straightforward in the listings: the venue address is 1000 19th St, Virginia Beach, VA 23451, and ticketing calls to action appeared across VisitVirginiaBeach, Eventbrite, and the organizer site in the form "Purchase tickets here." Eventbrite pages included map prompts such as "How do you want to get there? Map" and the extracted ticketing text carried a clear refund policy line: "No refunds." Ticket prices and a full schedule for specific runway segments were not shown in the promotional excerpts provided, but the afternoon delivered a tight mix of shopping, photography, food sampling, and music under the Convention Center roof — a practical, community-minded bridal fair that doubled as a fundraiser and a one-stop wedding planning sprint.
