"I Do" Spotlight Elie Saab

I love Elie Saab's bridal collections. She epitomizes the sweet, romantic bride that is very fashion forward. Below is her 2013-2014 Couture collection, not her bridal collection, but some of her pieces are perfect for the winter bride. I love the winter fantasy looks that have the right bit of sparkle for the holiday season and is still appropriate for any engagement afterwards. I can picture a brave bride wearing these looks, who wants something unique for her winter wonderland.

My favorite!

These are just my other favorite long pieces from the collection:

I love the illusion neckline on this look

The neckline is a perfect amount of sexy for this look

Emerald was the color of 2013

"I Do" Spotlight: Krikor Jabotian

I do not have much to say that would do any of these dresses justice. For the bride that wants a one-of-a-kind dress, these couture creations, by designer Krikor Jabotian, will make a bride want to re-wear her wedding dress even after her wedding day.

Gabriella New York Bridal - New SOHO Location!

Gabriella New York Bridal is a small bridal boutique with a new location in SOHO. I have never been to this boutique, but took the time to go through their website. Gabriella carries a variety of designer bridal gowns and bridal accessories. Owner, Gabriella Risatti is opening her salon doors May 17-19 for designer Angel Sanchez's Spring 2013 trunk show. Angel Sanchez's collection focuses on texture and movement. The "bling factor" is non existent and not missed. The creative choice of  fabric and material is perfectly composed into a dress that a bride would love to wear not only on her wedding day, but for the rest of her life. The dress is simplistic with a personal flair that allows the bride to shine and not be out shined by the dress. Click the link above to find instructions to make an appointment, or look at dresses.
