Project Wedding Blog

We’re already dreaming of summer weddings! A tropical vintage wedding theme is just the way to pay homage to the warming weather. Bridal corals, ocean blues, and mint green accents bring a perfect touch of California to your wedding day. Add a floral clutch and a mint-green layered necklace to your bridal look, and you’re ready to say, “I do!”

We have the fabulous gals at Loverly to thank for this!  To celebrate the re-launch of their gorgeous site, they curated this dose of dreamy inspiration for us today. Soak it up!

Swept away by all the brilliant color and vintage finds? Us too… Head on over to Loverly to check out more beautifully curated images, lots of top-notch opportunities to shop, and more…

We’re in bustling NYC for the biggest bridal fashion event of the year: International Bridal Market!   Each day we’ll be rounding up the top ten sights and sounds from the marketplace.  Complete coverage of all of the collections are coming to you {here}. Here are the big hits for Friday, October 14th.. ~Enjoy!

no. 1

The first presentation of the morning was Theia: Fall 2012.  This season there was more structure and even more luxury than in the past.  Here- a cap-sleeved ball gown, a classic mini with a sheen, and a modern gown with wild silver brushstrokes.

no. 2

Douglas Hannant is always a favorite.  This one-sleeved stunner captured our attention and our hearts.

no. 3

An absolute highlight from the Noir by Lazaro runway was lace-embellished bridesmaid’s dresses!   The perfect juxtaposition of contemporary styling with classic fabrics gave us the warm and fuzzies.

no. 4

Our Friday morning was chock full of goodies… including a showing of the Monique Lhuillier Fall 2012 bridesmaid collection. Chiffon fabric alluded to the light and airy side of things.. and this moss pleated cocktail dress was a fave for us!  Monique also added two new colors for Fall- buttercup and french blue.

no. 5

Is the crimp looked back?   Douglas Hannant featured two crimped do’s.  A little retro, a little avant garde.. Either way, there were two Chantilly lace lovelies in the collection that made us swoon.

no. 6

We thought this Alencon lace mini/tulle overskirt combo from Tara Keely was an absolute knockout.  (And who wouldn’t love two looks for one?!)

no. 7

We made a stop at the Alfred Angelo runway show where we found beautiful new Royal Maidens from the Disney Fairy Tale Wedding collection and this ethereal empire waisted number from the classic Alfred collection…

no. 8

…But of course, the ‘Royal Blossoms’ really stole the show.

no. 9

Watching the Lazaro show was like falling in love over and over again.  Always dynamic and glamour-filled… here’s a peek at one intricately embellished beauty.

no. 10

After that fashion extravaganza, a little R & R with a few very sweet and stylish bloggers was in order!  It was over to Dashing Diva for a mani and pedi party, hosted by Lover.ly.  We caught up with Kellee, Leila, Cathy, Amanda, Emily & Joy (and Linus.. the sweetest baby ever), Anne-Marie, & Jackie.

whew.. and then we fell fast asleep..

more tomorrow!
