Some of favorite dresses from NYC Bridal Market

Unfortunately due to a tight schedule, I was unable to attend what we in the wedding business know as NYC Bridal Market. Bridal Market is similar to main stream fasion week. All of the wedding gown designers show their new lines for the next season. Although I was unable to attend in person, my friends who were there kept me updated on twitter.

So I wanted to share some of my favorites over the next few blog posts. First up, Marchesa! One of my favorite dress designers in general, I was in LOVE with their Fall 2012 line.

I absolutely am obsessed with the necklines, and the shift from the same boring strapless gowns we have seen. So delicate and feminine, what isn't to love?

Here are my top pics from the line:

NYC Bridal Market Recap...

I’ve just returned from New York Bridal Market. Bridal Market happens twice a year and is when bridal dress designers showcase their latest creations. The runway shows were amazing! I was also fortunate enough to attend two parties. The first one was hosted by the team at Martha Stewart Weddings in their offices, and was so much fun, and even Martha Stewart herself was in attendance. The Knot’s Market Gala celebrating their 15 year anniversary at the New York Public Library. This was my first time at the New York Public Library and The Knot did not disappoint. I can’t wait to share with you all the fashion. In the meantime, here are some photographs of me.

First up.. the super cute smile booth at the Martha Stewart party. I always think it's funny how much us wedding vendors love photobooths, and this party was no exception. Our friends at smilebooth had a setup that was in line with the glitter theme. Note the gold glitter that everyone is tossing up, that was stuck in my hair and dress for days, but was so much fun.

Next we headed over to the Knot party, and as we walked into the New York Public Library, in the middle of the room was a larger than life 14 foot replica of a bride created by Preston Bailey which was inspired by a Monique Lhuillier gown. It was absolutely mind blowing, and was made entirely of flowers! Next to the bride, were two small poodles made of flowers as well. Amazing!

Although my trip to NYC was entirely too short, and packed with events from morning till night, but I wouldn't trade my experience for anything. I can't wait to share with our LBE clients all of the latest bridal fashion.
