From the Bride… When Matt and I talked about our wedding, we envisioned throwing an amazing party; a place to celebrate not only our love but also the love we have for our family and friends. The moment I walked into the Bowery Hotel I knew we had found that place and when I found out they had a date available in November 2012, we were sold. I always had wanted to get married in the Fall because of the rich colors of the season and the amazing food flavors. What was even more perfect about this date is that is was almost exactly 4 years to the date of Matt and I first meeting in NYC! I had a good idea of the look I wanted to create and used inspiration boards on Style Me Pretty and Pinterest to help narrow my vision. I also used Etsy to help find the unique details I was looking for to make the day perfect. Our entire wedding day was completely flawless and that was largely in part to the amazing vendors we had the pleasure of working with. Walking into the reception as husband and wife for the first time and seeing everyone we loved in one place was undoubtedly one of the happiest moments of our lives.

Imagine a parade of the prettiest never-seen-before gowns by the most sought after designers in the world, and you’ve pretty much imagined New York Bridal Market. It’s where the artists of lace and satin display this year’s works of art, and this year did not disappoint, it wowed. We have Jillian Modern Photography to thank for giving us the prettiest of peeks into this mecca of bridal couture, so be sure to check out each gallery for a look into all the lovely (from backstage and beyond) from Oscar de la Renta, Angel Sanchez, Ines di Santo, Reem Acra and Rivini.

First we have the oh so fabulous Oscar. Or more formally known as Oscar de la Renta. I’ve swooned over every dress he’s ever put on his runways, and this collection is no different. It’s bridal perfection, and I suppose I expect nothing less from the genius behind the designs. See the full gallery here.

 

And then there is Angel Sanchez who literally made me stop in my tracks with this year’s collection. It’s got major wow factor, yet still classic and clean all at the same time. The result is one seriously stunning collection, and it’s all waiting for you right here in the full gallery.

 

Next up is Ines di Santo, and I could give a standing ovation to each one of the gorgeous gowns that paraded down this runway. They will make every Bride feel like the most beautiful girl in the room, and honestly, what’s better than that? See even more right here.

 

Reem Acra produces the pretty year after year, and this year? Even more so. The collection sparkles and dazzles, with gowns that make a statement yet are sophisticated all at the same time. It’s a powerful combination, and you can see it all right here.

 

And last but certainly not least is Rivini. Pure style perfection with gowns that I wouldn’t mind slipping into. Purely feminine and purely lovely, each gown that made its way down the runway couldn’t be more gorgeous. See it all here.

 

It’s all pure bridal eye candy, and we can’t thank Jillian from Jillian Modern Photography enough for giving us this backstage look into all the lovely! xoxo
