New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 Recap: Get Inspired, Brides!
New York Fashion Week is over, but the inspiration goes on and on! One of my favorite places to get inspired is the designer catwalk.

And because designers take it to the extreme, every look that rocks the runway is multi-faceted. You can pick up a detail or two from a single runway look, and incorporate that...
Marchesa Fall 2011 RTW: Looks from New York Fashion Week
A midnight fairytale from yesteryear is how I'd sum up Marchesa's Fall 2011 RTW collection. Juxtaposing dark with ethereal, dramatic volume with paper-thin silhouettes, this collection will take you to a land far, far away. Many of the trends from NY Fashion Week shows of Jason Wu and Monique Lhuillier made their way down the Marchesa catwalk. Dresses in black, white and red dominated, romantic lace, feathers and metallic beading adorned, and luxe texture enveloped. Marchesa's...

More and more brides will don dramatic bridal headpieces instead of traditional bridal veils. From haute couture fascinators to retro embellished turbans, brides will show their style from head to toe! I love the bridal headwear from Jennifer Behr (who also designs to-die-for bridal belts) and Twigs and Honey. ...

Royal Wedding Dresses of Great Britain- Princess Margaret
About Bride Chic Norman Hartnell, royal dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth, designed Princess Margaret's wedding dress, too, although the assignment was a bit different. Princess Margaret, who married celeb photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, was something of a fashion plate despite her petite stature. Thus she was not a crown princess who had to stick to such strict protocol, meaning the creative process in creating her gown was opened up. Margaret didn't want any fussy details...
