Claire Pettibone Fall 2013

I still can't get over the flower petals strewn all over the runway at the Claire Pettibone Fall 2013 show! In fact, the whole night was all about flowers. Amazing flowers in the models' hair and floral motifs on the gowns.

One thing you pick up on right away in Claire's design style is her embellishing. She pushes the envelope when it comes to embellishing a wedding gown. Filled with ribbons, draped pearls, flower accents, and embroidery. To some, it can seem like it's a bit much, but that's what makes Claire Pettibone's dresses unique. Love.

My Favourite Trends at Bridal Fashion Week 2012

I've been glued to Twitter the past few days taking in all the magnificent gowns from the Bridal Fashion Week which ran from Oct. 12 to 15 in New York. I noticed some beautiful trends that I am excited about as a designer. When wedding dress designers push the envelope, it allows veil and accessory designers like myself to do the same.

One always up for surprising us is Vera Wang. She created an all white collection after two white-free seasons! Ha ha ha. Totally Vera.

This year we had recurring themes we love; dresses with sparkle, lots and lots of embellishments, and amazing textures. My favorite top two trends are the illusion necklines and dresses with sleeves.

♥ Elie Saab Spring 2012 ♥

When something is really pretty, I sometimes cry. It's the same cry I do for romantic flicks. I was crying when I was looking at Elie Saab's stunning and ridiculously gorgeous 2012 Spring collection. The gowns and cocktail dresses drape the woman's body so beautifully and flow so elegantly. The lovely array of: coral, soft pink, mint green, cool blue... ...I am in love with this man!
