The National Bridal Market Chicago at THE MART has unveiled plans for what promises to be an extraordinary year ahead. Its March show will feature premier designers across 11 diverse categories - including bridal gowns, social occasion wear, quinceañera, and accessories - spanning an impressive 200,000 square feet of exhibit space on the 7th floor of THE MART.
And the August edition will mark an important milestone as the National Bridal Market celebrates its 50th Anniversary. The show, running August 16-18, will be filled with special events, throwback moments, and unforgettable experiences. Details will be revealed soon.
“We are thrilled with the remarkable success of the 2025 Shows and see tremendous potential for ongoing growth. We believe it’s essential for designers to have a beautiful, accessible platform to showcase their collections to retailers. Vice President of Marketing Monique Kielar and I have been traveling worldwide to discover innovative and inspiring designers to feature at the show. Our goal is to strengthen our market community and cultivate even greater collaboration within the industry,” said Jane Heflin, Managing Director, National Bridal Market Chicago.
For the March show, attendees can anticipate an engaging lineup of events and amenities designed to elevate the experience for both buyers and exhibitors. The weekend kicks off on Sunday, March 15, with the eagerly anticipated Opening Night Party at Marshall’s Landing, featuring an open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres, dancing, and unmatched networking opportunities.
Throughout the show, guests will enjoy daily happy hour events, complimentary breakfasts and lunches, and Instagram-worthy moments capturing the glamour and elegance of the industry.
A key focus for the March Market is education. The National Bridal Market Chicago Educational Series will present over seven compelling seminars on essential topics for bridal retailers - a must-attend opportunity to gain insights and expertise from industry leaders.
