CountDown Events at NYC Bridal Fashion Week!

As the producer of the most opulent wedding event of the year, I definitely recognize the importance of creating something extraordinary to present to brides! Our fashion show is bar-none the most luxurious bridal fashion show the city has ever seen. It is the centerpiece of Crème de la Crème Grand Wedding Showcase. So when the opportunity arose to sit front row at one of the hottest bridal fashion shows in the world, and in one of my favorite cities, I simply could not contain my excitement! To me, New York is the epitome of CHIC! 

First stop Romona Keveza

The collection was presented at the luxe penthouse suite of the Palace Hotel  on Madison Avenue! The hotel is an iconic venue for weddings in New York. 

Romona Keveza is absolutely lovely! It was such a pleasure to meet her and one of her amazing designers Orlando Cosmelle. Present at this exclusive showing was none other than Mark Ingram and our own fabulous atelier Lorna Paterson Blush Bridal & Special Occasions. 

 Legends by Romona Keveza is influenced by the style of Jacqueline Kennedy in the White House Era, showing American royalty at its finest featuring classic chic, timeless silhouettes that present a marriage of Parisian style with all American spirit.

Next stop over to the Chelsea Gallery district to watch the incredible Priscilla of Boston collections. Vineyard, Melissa Sweet, Jewel, Reverie and Platinum for Priscilla of Boston. In attendance were all of the A-list media! And some TV personalities such as Randy Fenoli from Kleinfeld.

 Awaiting the start of the show as guests are being ushered in using a garage sized elevator!

A short skirt can really accentuate a good heel and not to mention your legs.

Loved watching the front row viewing the designs as the models came down the runways.

And finally over to see the incredibly talented Canadian Designers Ines Di Santo and Veronica Di Santo. I have to say this was my favourite part of the entire trip! The designs were immaculate to say the least and the room was filled with VIPs like Grace Ormonde, Martha Stewart's Darcy Miller and The Knot's Carley Roney to name a few. The room was gorgeous! Unfortunately my photos are not the best...not to mention you can't feel the buzz that was in the room. Let's just say it was fabulous!

And of course this whirlwind trip would not be complete without the queen of wedding gowns Monique Lhuillier. This was definitely a highlight! Loved the dresses, the fabrics, textures and the fantastic music! Again front row...I have to say I felt pretty lucky! 

The shows proved inspirational and gave us insight into the upcoming trends. With plenty of cinched waists, soft pink hues, floral and flowing textured fabrics, we're excited to start planning for the upcoming season in 2011.
