Posted by Sarah Sweetz Akhza On 11:05 AM 0 comments

Amour Sans Anguish brings you the "Easy To Love You" dress. The top is made with elegantly disheveled chiffons, lace, and ruffles with bits. Totally something different for the bride who dances to the beat of her own little drummer.

This fab dress is from the Fall 2011 line of Victoria Nicole. I love that it is very modern on top and very Scarlett O'Hara on the bottom. A great mix of modern and classic. See the entire collection at Victoria Nicole.

NY BRIDAL MARKET: Sarah Jassir Spring 2012

Posted by Sarah Sweetz Akhza On 7:00 AM 0 comments


I really tried to visit designers that push the envelope and work to bring brides something special and unique. Of course, there is Vera and Oscar, but I fell in love with Sarah Jassir.

There were so many different options available. I loved the sexy neckline on Swoon as well as delicate touch of the lace cap sleeves on Allure. I totally adored the lace sleeves on Serene and the racy deep peephole on Passion. But my favs were definitely Amore, Adore, and especially Romance. I love the gorgeous colors in Amore and Romance and the flirty floral fun of Adore.

Visit their web site to find a wedding salon near you that carries Sarah Jassir line.

BRIDAL MARKET: Priscilla of Boston Takes The Cake, Part I

Posted by Sarah Sweetz Akhza On 6:34 AM 0 comments
I enjoyed all of the shows that I attended during Bridal Market. But without a doubt, the Priscilla of Boston show is one of my favorite shows. For this bridal house to design six wedding gown collections and one bridesmaids collection every season is incredible. What's even more incredible is that they are the true masters of their brand. Every single collection has its own signature statement. Not to mention that the show truly builds suspense as each wedding gown collections slowly descends upon the runway.

This year, the show was held in this amazing loft space. The journey up to the top floor was a pleasant surprise. We were standing in an area surrounded by brick walls thinking that the door in front of us was going to open up into the space. Not so. The guy behind us pulled the door down behind us and voila... it was an elevator. We all burst into laughter.

Once inside, there was a buzz of excitement. The Priscilla of Boston show is truly a coveted invitation in the bridal industry, especially for those of us covering shows. As the show began, it was quite clear that each designer wanted to ensure that you were able to get a good long look at each gown. This made me very happy. I had attended quite a few shows during Market where it felt like the models were running down the runway. At one show, the photographers were actually yelling out to the models to slow down. So this was fabulous to be able to really look at all of the beautiful details of each gown.

The other thing about Priscilla of Boston is that it is so hard to have a favorite collection. I have to say that I was a little sweet on Reverie by Melissa Sweet, the Jewel and the Platinum collections because of the wonderful surprise details like the gorgeous lace with detailed trim at the bottom or the fab detachable skirt and the exaggerated trains - touches that would make any bride swoon.

Tomorrow's post will include the Bridesmaids, Reverie by Melissa Sweet, Melissa Sweet and Platinum collections.

Jasper Conran showed the most amazing Spring 2011 RTW collection in London over the weekend. He is a fav of mine. So I wanted to check out the latest from his bridal line. Simply Beautiful. If I were getting married, the first dress would be my choice. The lines are so clean and the dresses are modern and classic at the same time. No small feat. See his entire collection on his web site.
