Bridal Market

Jess & I just got back from Bridal Market in NYC and I am anxious to write this blog entry and share some of the highlights of the things we did & saw. When we go to market, it is a very exciting time for us. We sit down with our designers and choose the dresses that we will be bringing back for the store. There is no exact science for this process. We spend alot of time researching Bridal Trends, as well as looking at what lines are most flattering to the body. Typically we listen to what our brides are asking for and combine that with the current bridal trends as well as the advice of our designers. Then we pick out the best of the best and bring it home!
 This year we started at the Pier. Below are a couple of pictures from inside. 

Our first stop was with Allure Bridals. As always, we were thrilled with the new styles for the season. Allure does such a great job of using silhouettes that really work with the body. We found a great mix of  modern Ball gowns, as well as some stunning fit & flare styles. The attention to detail really sets Allure apart from other designers, they use such lush fabrics and their beading/crystal work is truly unmatched!  Here are a few previews of dresses that will be arriving.

I also LOVED this with a swarovski beaded belt!

The mix of lace with the satin belt....LOVE it!

We saw this one & KNEW it was coming back with us!

This is a slip dress style, and honestly to see it on a person, it is so glamorous!

The beading on this gown is amazing!

 We also went to the Intercontinental Hotel, where more designers were showcasing their gowns. When we arrived at the hotel, we saw some of the staff from Kleinfelds (Say yes to the dress!) They were just finishing up their shopping, when we arrived.  Here are some pictures from  the Hotel.

While we were there, we spent most of our time focused on Jade by Jasmine, and finding the best mothers dresses to bring home! We have such a soft spot for mothers, we love to take the extra time to really find the best designs we can. Here is a small sample of the dresses that will be arriving.

We will actually have this dress in the long version - it is very stunning!

The Cape is very sophisticated, and gives just enough coverage.

Jacki-O - Classic! This was an easy pick!

A great tea-length dress with coverage. 

We have so many new dresses & accessories coming this season...we will keep you posted as they arrive!
