Hanan Al Mahmoud, Director of JRCC, said: “The Sharjah Bridal Fair was conceived to not only serve as an event featuring the latest in bridal fashion, makeup and beauty care. It also furthers our social responsibility to enrich the cultural understanding and psychological and physical health of expectant brides, which they will benefit from throughout their married life. We conduct a series of workshops and interactive sessions, which aim to enhance women's understanding of the new relationship dynamics that a woman experiences after marriage, the ways in which they can approach their responsibilities and how they can strike that harmony with their life partner. In doing so, we seek to enhance the overall well-being and stability of our community, and aim to increase the level of social safety that brides-to-be can enjoy.”
