Amsale/Kenneth Pool/Christos At Bridal Market

Amsale Aberra


One of the shows that I was so excited to attend during Bridal Market was absolutely without doubt the Fall 2011 Amsale, Kenneth Pool and Christo shows. Under the direction of the amazing Amsale Aberra, these three bridal lines did not disappoint.

The Christos line was all about the embodiment of modern romance and femininity with delicate laces, sheer fabrics, and the ever so softest touches of beading. Totally seeking to establish itself as a cherished heirloom.

With the Kenneth Pool line, there was show-stopping glamour with yards and yards of tulle and its signature crystal beadwork. Looking to take the spotlight and hold on to it, then Kenneth Pool's Fall 2010 line is for you.

Last but never ever least was the Amsale show. She definitely saved the best for last. Soft details and unique fabrications were perfectly executed to create bold and modern statement dresses that will surely make that signature statement for any bride.

NY BRIDAL MARKET EVENT: An Evening with Grace Ormonde

First and foremost... there is no place like the Plaza Hotel in NYC. No place. It is one of my favorite places on Earth. When you walk through the door, you immediately feel how truly special it is to be there. Such opulence and grace and grandeur. Unbelievable. So whenever I am invited to an event at the Plaza, it is extremely hard for me to say no. So I hop on the train and get moving. Lucky for me this time, it was all going down during Bridal Market.

The beautiful Grace Ormonde, Editor-in-Chief of the always amazing Wedding Style Magazine held the most fabulous and lush book launch party. The room was filled with georgeous flowers and drinks abound and food... food was everywhere. Sushi. Oh how I love sushi. There were also gorgeous men standing with shoulders back holding the most beautiful orchids. Yummy.

Her new book, Being in Love Never Goes Out of Style, is a must have for any bride. The limited edition book "being in love never goes out of style," is a 416-page glorious pictorial tribute to Grace's 10 years of featuring the most luxurious and glamorous weddings on the planet. The book captures all the glamour, details and true essence of exceptional weddings including: lighting design, wedding cakes, tabletop and floral design and venue. The book has been in the making for years and features the work of some of the most talented and celebrated wedding professionals around the world including event maestro Colin Cowie, celebrity cake designer Slyvia Weinstock, and floral designer Preston Bailey, just to name a few.

There were some very notable celebs floating around the party including Jenny Packham Reem Acra, Ines Di Santo, Colin Cowie, Randy Fenoli from Kleinfeld’s Say Yes To The Dress (I LOVE RANDY!), Frank Jedda from Kleinfeld’s Say Yes To The Dress, Karen Hendrix of Karen Hendrix Couture, Maggie Norris of Maggie Norris Haute Couture, Ed Libby of Ed Libby & Co., Joseph Todd of Joseph Todd Events, Marcy Blum, Kara Ross, and of course, the one and only Sylvia Weinstock.
