We all look forward to the new year, but this year most people are excited to put 2020 firmly behind us and move into 2021.

Bridal Buyer turns 30 next year, and we can’t wait to bring you another year of business advice, trends and more. 2021 will also see the return of the full Bridal Buyer Awards programme, which was put on pause this year and replaced by our Special Recognition Awards shining a light on digital innovation, community support and customer service. Our calendar also includes the dates for next year’s trade shows.
