Bridal market: Ines Di Santo Spring 2013

The gowns from Ines Di Santo were pretty amazing up close…though I have to say my favorite wasn’t a wedding dress at all…this black stunner was INSANE with the details!

Icelandic wedding fashion

I just got back from a 2 week trip to Iceland that rocked my world. From the mountains to the hot springs, to the fashion, Iceland was very much the charmer. I had the lucky fortune to be there for a fashion exhibition at the National Museum, which showed a collection of dress from the 20th century where I became enamored with this wool wedding dress:

Have you ever seen a wedding dress made of wool? This 1959 high-waisted A-lin was inspired by Audrey Hepburn and was made by dressmaker Sigríði Bjardnadóttir for Greta Håkansson. I love how the designer took a very Icelandic element (wool) and created something very au courant. Notice the bouquet and hat made of the same material and style.

Bridal market: Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013

What an honor to get to be at the Oscar de la Renta runway show!  The dresses were an interesting mix of total classic silhouettes mixed with the modern, then a nod thrown in to the film Black Swan.

I thought all the different bouquets used for the show were quite interesting, especially the flowering branch.  Maybe not very practical, but definitely different!  And check out the blue nail polish…its by Oscar!

Bridal market: Anna Maier Spring 2013

This was my first time at Anna Maier, and the dresses really were so beautiful to see in person.  The first dress came out in white and black, and was incredibly dramatic!  Jillian Bisinger and I were also able to hang out backstage before the show and capture some behind the scenes…check it out!
