While previewing the Jim Hjelm Occasions Fall 2010 collection, we simply delighted in the use of vibrant and rich colors.  Models paraded dresses in shades of Opal, Cherry, Indigo, Fucshia, Graphite, Midnight and Pomegranate.  Not only did the colors capture our hearts, but the silhouettes and embellishments reflected a fashion-forward design approach for the savvy bridal party.  Take a look at some favorites from the show:

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:

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!
