One of the best things about bridal shows are that they always have some amazing caterers and bakeries around. I had delish cake pops at lil' Cutie Pops, who enchanted me with the red velvet cake pop. Dish Food & Events had a scrumptious cake pop that made me want to lick the stick. I also had a super yummy chocolate pop made by Kreated by Kristen who was putting her entrepreneurial stamp on the world. She totally created every single cupcake and all of her pops by herself (with a little help from her family). You go girl!

So walking around I stopped at Bridal Reflections NYC to see what they had new and interesting. This black gown stopped me in my tracks. It was stunning. I just kept thinking if I would have the nerve to wear a black dress to my wedding. If I did have the nerve, it would be this one.
One of my favorites events of the year (aside from Bridal Market) is NY Magazine Weddings event. Love it. I love going to these kinds of events because I am always hoping to meet wedding vendors who have totally pushed the envelope in order to give brides and grooms something fresh, new and modern. This event always has the best of the best in NYC. But was there anything new to talk about?
This year, New York Magazine totally upped the ante. There were some incredible vendors there. I saw a little bit of everything from a black wedding dress to wedding rings with your silhouettes to some fab reception decor. All the deets are coming today and tomorrow. Enjoy.

I started off Bridal Market Week at the New York Magazine's Weddings Event. The event was held at the Metropolitan Pavillion and was fabulous. There were some amazing wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses adorning the lobby area before you entered the main event area.
Once inside the main area, NY-area brides were greeted by a wide array of talented and top notch wedding invitation designers, floral designers, event designers, bridal shops, bridal gown designers, and caterers. A bride could have totally planned her wedding before leaving the Pavillion. The quality of the displays in every booth was exceptional.
There was also a drink station with everything your heart could desire. It was a hit with the grooms who so graciously gave up their Wednesday afternoon to accompany their brides from station to station.
I definitely had some favorites. My favorite bridal designer was the fab Angelo Lambrou. The South African born Lambrou has created a line wedding gowns that are outside of the box. It was good to see something so very different. One of my favorites was the gown in the picture where his is posing. The gown had the loveliest ruffles all around the top of the dress. Simply beautiful.
Also, my favorite floral and event designer was Tantawan Bloom. EXQUISITE! Not only was I blown away by their floral and tabletop design, but their brochure and cards were fabulous. For me, that's the sign of a fab vendor. Oh, and the owner looked as if he had just walked out of GQ magazine - another plus for me.
I also loved the floral and tabletop designs at Fleurs Floral Design and Events and a fab design at Designs by Ahn.
I got a chance to check out a few J.Crew bridal dresses and bridesmaids dresses. You really need to see their gowns/bridesmaids dresses in person. The web does not do these dresses justice. I also loved the two adorable dresses available at Lovely Bridal.
My absolutely favorite wedding invitation designer (besides my always favorite, Ceci NY) was Atelier Isabey. Not only was the quality of the work extremely high, but the creativity of the designs was mindblowing. I loved everything that they had displayed on their table.
I had to force myself not to partake in eating cake. But there were a few cake designers that stood out for me including Cake Alchemy and Ruth Drennan Cakes. Both shops has very unique cake designs. Each shop definitely made me take notice, even though I didn't have any of their goodies.
But of course, the highlight of the event for me was meeting and taking my picture with my bridal idol, Colin Cowie. If you read my blog regularly, you know that I totally love him. He was so nice. He jumped right up to take a picture and as expected he was impeccably dressed. At that point, my day was complete.
