Like a breath of fresh air,  we stepped into the Thread Bridesmaid design studio this morning… and absolutely adored what we found!  This season, Thread designer, Beth, played with bold patterns, knots, and dainty ruffles to create her wearable, yet completely chic and fun collection!  Here are some of our favorites from the line:

Reem Acra’s gowns are breathtaking to say the least. We visited her Sunday evening and were in awe by each dress that was shown. What’s new this time out? Corseted looks and a lingerie vibe - incredibly savvy and sexy. Acra is also playing with three dimensional appearing appliques, as seen below:

This dress was a personal fave of one of our Project Wedding gals:

We’ve just witnessed the amazing Romona Keveza’s evening wear collection for Fall 2010 and her Spring 2011 Couture wedding dresses — which were absolute perfection. Her evening wear is inspired by romantic film noir and in her words, meld fantasy with restraint. Here’s your first glance at some of their best sellers:

Our favorite looks from the Douglas Hannant Spring 2011 bridal collection featured porcelain blue embroidery, a sultry mermaid silhouette, an exquisite blue patterned chiffon overskirt, and several sweet empire waistlines.  Here’s a peek, but there’s lots more to gush about.  The models’ wavy locks were upswept in twigs and flowers…which really were works of art all on their own.  So far, this was one of the most stellar shows of the weekend!  We heart Hannant! Enjoy!

Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2011 collection is soft and romantic, inspired by nature’s embellishments in her concept of  ‘A Field of Dreams.’  Monique incorporates butterflies, branches, twigs, wheat stalks, and feathers to create dreamy texture in this lovely new collection.

It was like being in a fairy tale Sunday morning, as Ines Di Santo presented her Fall-Winter 2010-2011 Couture bridal wear. Inspired by younger brides aiming for the princess look, the passionate designer’s dresses were both dramatic and playful - from mini looks to full, voluminous skirts. Here are some of our fave fashions:

One of the most highly anticipated shows each season, Carolina Herrera delivers an exquisite collection at her New York press show.  Each dress in the collection was inspired by- and is a tribute to- the unique vision and daring style of an uncommon, distinct woman in history.  Herrera pays homage to women like Grace Kelly, Georgia O’ Keefe, Martha Graham, Edith Piaf, Virgina Wolf, Anna Pavlova, Frida Kahlo, Mary Cassatt and more. Take a peak at her dramatic new collection:

The first day of NY wedding market has been stylish and successful, and the Amsale Spring Collection 2011 was no exception. We saw lots of beaded belts, beautiful ballgowns and some modern little white dresses:

Amsale’s goal this time out was to bring more softness to her collection. “My gowns are known for being clean, modern and architectural, so my focus this season was staying true to that aesthetic while bringing a softer, lighter feel to my designs.”

We’re in a cab en route to the next fashion show… but we wanted to give you a glimpse of the glamorous designs shown at the Spring 2011 Kenneth Pool show!  It was dramatic silks and soft tulle skirts abound…
