How do I register for Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week 2027?
To register for Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week (BBFW), go to the Passes/Invitations page on our official website. Select the profile that matches your professional activity —Buyer, Bridal & Fashion Creator, Industry Professional or Press— and complete the corresponding registration form.
Once you submit your registration, the BBFW team will review your information to check that you meet the requirements for your chosen profile. You will receive an email with the outcome of your registration.
How much does a pass to visit BBFW 2027 cost?
Access to BBFW depends on your professional profile:
- Industry Professional: the pass for bridal industry professionals such as manufacturers, distributors and suppliers. It costs €90 (VAT included) if you buy it online, up to the last day of the event, and €120 if you buy it at the venue.
- Buyer and Bridal & Fashion Creator: these accreditations require a prior application. Fill in the registration form with your details and the BBFW team will check that your application meets the profile criteria. Once approved, you will receive your accreditation.
- Invitation code: if an exhibitor or the organisers have sent you a code, validate it on the Passes/Invitations page to get your pass.
You can check all profiles and apply for your pass on the Passes/Invitations page.
Can the general public attend BBFW?
No. BBFW is a 100% professional event. Tickets are on sale, but only for industry professionals, and they give access to the Trade Show only: a B2B space where multi-brand retailers buy collections wholesale. You need to register or hold a professional pass to enter the event. The only exception is guests with an official show invitation issued by the designer or the organisation. See the available passes on the Passes/Invitations page.
What documents do I need to register?
It depends on your profile: Buyer, Bridal & Fashion Creator, Industry Professional or Press. Each form asks for the details and documents needed to show that your activity fits the profile you’re registering for. For example, if you’re a Bridal & Fashion Creator, you’ll need to show a community of more than 10,000 followers. Check the requirements for your profile before submitting, as the registration type cannot be changed once it’s sent.
Someone sent me an invitation code. How do I use it?
To redeem your invitation code, go to the accreditation page and enter your code, made up of letters and numbers, in the “Do you have an invitation code?” field. Then click “Enter your code here to validate” and follow the steps to complete your registration.
Can I register more than one person?
For legal and data privacy reasons, each person must complete their own accreditation. You cannot register other people on their behalf.
Instead, you can share the invitation link or invitation code with your guests so that they can complete their own accreditation by following the steps in the BBFW accreditation system.
To make the process easier, we have provided a step-by-step guide to help you through the process. Click here to view, download and share the guide with your guests.
How long does it take to process my BBFW registration?
Usually between 48 and 72 hours after you submit the form. If we receive a high volume of registrations, or if we need to verify the details and documents you’ve sent, it may take a little longer. We recommend registering well in advance. Registration stays open until approximately one week before the event, although this date may change depending on registration volume.
What should I do if I don’t receive my BBFW registration confirmation email?
If you’ve completed the Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week registration form and more than 72 hours have passed without any email about the status of your registration, we recommend following these steps:
- Check your spam folder. Look in your spam or junk folders, as the message may have been filtered.
- Add our address to your safe senders. Make sure [email protected] is on your safe senders list so future messages aren’t blocked.
- Contact the BBFW team. If you’ve done these checks and still haven’t heard anything about your registration, write to [email protected] for help.
Our team can guide you on how to check the status of your registration.
What can I do if my registration is declined?
It means the details or documents provided don’t demonstrate the profile you registered for. If you work in the industry and want to visit the Trade Show, you can buy an Industry Professional pass: €90 online or €120 on site. If you have questions about the decision, write to us at [email protected].
Can I change my registration type after submitting?
No. Once your registration is submitted, the registration type cannot be changed. If you need a different pass, start a new registration and complete the form for the profile you want.
Can I share my BBFW registration with someone else?
No. Registrations are personal and non-transferable. If you’re coming with colleagues, each person must register separately through the Passes/Invitations page.
How can I show my pass to get into BBFW?
You have three options:
- Printed at home: this is the option we recommend.
- On your phone: show the PDF, add it to your Wallet or keep it in the official BBFW app (when available).

Exhibitors
How can I apply to exhibit at BBFW 2027?
To exhibit, fill in the application form on the Be an exhibitor page. Our sales team reviews each application to make sure the brand fits the profile and positioning of BBFW and, if space is available, will contact you to explain the participation options.
Submitting an application does not automatically guarantee participation in the Trade Show.
What is the deadline to apply as an exhibitor at BBFW 2027?
There is no fixed deadline to apply as an exhibitor at BBFW 2027. The participation form will stay open on our website as long as space is available.
Participation is subject to a brand selection process. Our sales team reviews every application to make sure the brand fits BBFW’s profile and positioning, so applying does not automatically guarantee a place at the Trade Show.
If your brand is a good fit and space is available, the BBFW sales team will contact you to share the details and discuss the participation options available.
What does exhibiting at BBFW include?
As well as presenting your collections to buyers from all over the world, exhibiting at BBFW 2027 includes:
- Stand with furniture and lighting: the equipment varies depending on the m² you book.
- Invitations for your buyers: you can invite your clients free of charge to visit your stand during the Trade Show.
- Wi-Fi connection.
- Presence in the Brand Directory: the digital showcase where visitors discover brands and their collections before and during the show. All you need to do is complete your brand profile.
- Graphic pack: materials to promote your participation in BBFW on your own channels.
Is there space for emerging designers?
Yes. BBFW is committed to giving emerging talent visibility and opportunities, as long as the brand works in the wholesale channel and fits the event’s profile and positioning.
Emerging brands and designers can apply to take part in the Trade Show, where they can present their collections to buyers and industry professionals from around the world. All applications are subject to a selection process by the BBFW sales team.
Can a brand both show on the runway and exhibit at the Trade Show?
Yes. In fact, to take part in the BBFW Fashion Shows, a brand must also exhibit at the Trade Show.
The Fashion Shows and the Trade Show are two parts of one experience: the runway lets brands present their new collections and gain visibility, while the Trade Show is where buyers can explore the collections in detail and place orders directly with the brands.
For this reason, a brand cannot take part in the Fashion Shows alone without exhibiting at the Trade Show. Participation in the Fashion Shows is also subject to a brand selection process.

You can find all the information regarding your participation in your Customer Area. Also, do not hesitate to contact your Account Executive for any doubt you may have.
