Lads, it’s time to be UNVEILED

Posted on 28 May, 2017

Weddings are a celebration of two people’s love for one another—not just about the bride.

If you’re a bloke and think wedding events are only for the bride, or perhaps you’re not as into weddings as your partner, you may look at UNVEILED The Event and think “nah”. Or maybe you’re someone who is very into weddings but your fiancée would rather leave “all that stuff” to you.

But weddings are, at their innermost core, a celebration of two people’s love for one another and even though that might not extend to trying 20 wedding cakes together or spending hours shopping for the right shade of blush ribbon, we promise you that at UNVEILED The Event, there will be something for everyone. Including the guys.

FASHION

Maybe you’re the kind of gent who is happy to leave the canapés and candles to your blushing bride but are pretty excited to invest in your wedding suit? In that case we will have four of Canberra’s finest clothing purveyors on hand to chat all things suiting and booting – Braddon Tailors and Casa Pavone, InStitchu and Gibson.

GROOMING

Perhaps you’re interested in what your noggin will look like as you’re standing at the top of the aisle? Thinking of growing a legendary ‘stache or wondering when you should get your hair cut before the big day? Well just stroll down to The Den where Barber’s Inc. will be serving up complimentary hair and beard trims, shaves and all the advice you need about grooming preparation for your big day.

FOOD + DRINK

Get a taste of Woodbrook’s grazing table laden with easy-to-grab handmade canapés made with the finest of fresh and local produce, Mr Papa’s Peruvian street food, or Pialligo Estate’s award-winning smoked goods. 

Or sip on some local wine at architecturally-designed wine bar, The Pop Inn, which will be serving up some glasses to chill out to on the National Portrait Gallery forecourt; or sample Canberra’s finest ales from Capital Brewing Co.
