DC BRIDAL SHOW: Bride & Groom Unveiled & Vera Wang

Posted by Sarah Sweetz Akhza On 8:00 AM 0 comments


I had the pleasure of attending Washingtonian's Bride & Groom Magazine's Unveiled Bridal Showcase. It was held at the Park Hyatt in DC. Oddly enough, I had never been to the Park Hyatt, but I will be sure to make a return visit. What a fab hotel.

This was my first bridal show this season and it did not disappoint. There were a number of vendors that I had not met before and will be spotlighting those businesses later in the week. But the highlight of the event was the jaw-dropping Vera Wang Bridal Show, courtesy of Saks Jandel. Can I just say that I was overwhelmed? I am a huge Vera Wang fan and even wore Vera Wang for my wedding many moons ago. So I could not wait to see what I missed when I went to NYC last year.

I think that every woman in the place was mesmerized and for good reason. I am such an unconventional person, so my wedding dresses were antique gold. So I was totally in love with all of the wedding dresses that were in platinum, blush pink, antique bronze and the like. Anyone can wear a white dress, but it takes a real broad to walk down the aisle in a platinum wedding dress! Here are some pics from the runway show.

Okay. Erin Gallagher has lost her mind! This gorgeous necklace is $15.00. Get her special weekly deal on her web site.



I love the idea of leaving one of these notebooks on each of your reception tables so that your guests can write you congratulatory notes. It would be great to go back and read all of the well wishes. This adorable small notepad is available from Quotes and Notes.
