Bride Chic’s Best of Spring 2013 Bridal Week, Part 2
Picking up where we left off last week, I'll begin by saying Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta continue to hold high esteem on my top three list of the best designers (Dior is the other) and never is it more evident as when bridal week rolls around. Each year is better than the last for these icons who never disappoint. Really zeroing in on this years trends I'm intrigued with how many details are showing up in bridal wear. Details not every designer offered a few years back...

Bridal Week Spring 2013 in NYC may have wrapped up but we're still processing all the new trends. True, all these little style changes may not have shown up overnight but we definitely could see most coming throughout 2011-12. The biggee was sleeves thanks to the Kate Factor. When the now Duchess of Cambridge emerged from her Limo last year to marry her prince, we all knew her wedding dress would be the one most defining thing in the bridal arena for years to come; her lace sleeves...

Adding Your Own Personal Bridal Touches
This week I did a post on, Adding Character to Your Dress. It really got me thinking about how bridal fashion has metamorphosed the past few years.

Notice I said, can--you have a choice now and if you want to don that long, flowing bridal veil anytime of day be my guest, ditto the long gloves in polka dot if you want. Still, I get clients who ask,...

Would You Wear a Wool Wedding Dress?
We've been going over 2012 bridal trends the past few Fridays and here's another worth looking into. Have you heard some designers are using wool for wedding dresses? Not too long ago I fashioned the Harlowesque-style above out of wool crepe. Sleeveless with silk flowers on the shoulder and waist it definitely had all the earmarks of a spring bridal gown. The big question I asked brides was, "Would you wear a woolen dress on your wedding day? In spring?" I got back the...

Blushing Bride Draped in Orange
We already know that many of you say YAY to wearing a pink gown down your white aisle. Just check out the buzz on our Facebook wall! But how about something a bit more bold? Like this deep orange one-shoulder wedding dress. I spotted this bride on Green Wedding Shoes and couldn't wait to feature her and hear your thoughts! Do you love it, or is a wedding dress in this shade of orange too untraditional or too un-bridal? Would you feel like a bride walking the aisle in this gown?...

When I spotted this bride in her pink Vera Wang wedding dress on Style Me Pretty (captured by We Heart Photography), I instantly fell in love! Words that came to mind?
