Bridal Market 2012 with vintage plates and Sylvia Weinstock and Stephanie from Punk Rock Bride

I had such an amazing time at Bridal Market this year.  Ran into Sylvia Weinstock again – one can only hope to be like her at her age!  LOVE her!  Hung out with friends at ABC Kitchen – which features cute vintage plates and organic food!  Then we saw our very own DC native Stephanie Ward of Punk Rock Bride showing her new dresses at market!

Ines di Santo

One of my favorite shows every bridal market is the Ines di Santo show.  Her dresses are always works of art!  Hand-designed and manufactured in Canada – you can truly buy couture that is produced in a fair trade country!  What’s not to love!

Anne Barge Spring 2013 collection at 2012 Bridal Market

Another favorite bridal gown designer is Anne Barge.  Her gowns are always timeless with lots of romance!  Her runway showcased fun and flirty gowns, timeless gowns along with a few dramatic gowns (all to the tune of French music)!  Definitely a fun show as well and we love that she is based in Atlanta!

Martha Stewart Weddings Bridal Market Party

Finally my last night at bridal market was amazing as it was spent at the annual Martha Stewart Bridal Market Party.  As I mentioned yesterday they had a couple get married (with Martha herself officiating)…but along with that – anyone who is big in the industry was at the party!  I went with my friend and Style/Managing Editor of Eco-Beautiful Weddings Magazine Robin Fisher and we bumped into Randy Fenoli – which is always fun!

Stay tuned tomorrow for another sneak peek of a wedding we did recently!

Happy planning!
