Claire Pettibone Bridal Recap
My absolute favorite dress designer of all time is Claire Pettibone. I know this is saying a lot - but it’s true. I am just enamored with her style and how feminine her gowns are without being over the top. She also manufactures all of her gowns in the US. We took a look at 5 of her new gowns at market this week. Above is a strapless and backless gown that comes with an optional shrug. So pretty, delicate and gorgeous with the art deco glam on the waistline!
Perfect for the petite bride out there - this gown has the uber-feminine style that we are used to with Claire’s delicate details. The straps are made with beautiful lace along with that gorgeous and subtle fabric flower found on the front and back of the dress.
When I saw this dress I nearly gasped. The gorgeous gown looked like it stepped out of the past and got an update from Claire. I just love the art deco stone detailing along the backside of the gown. Again, super feminine and ethereal all wrapped into loveliness!
Just elegant and lovely! This dress is perfect for any evening wedding. There is a touch of traditional style with Claire’s amazing flair with the cap sleeves and gorgeous lace trimmed detachable train. My favorite from this collection for sure!
This layered strapless dress als0 comes with an optional shrug. Again, gorgeous and simple details all over the dress make for a stunning arrival down the aisle!
Stay tuned tomorrow for more from Bridal Market!

New York Weddings Recap
I thought I had been to swanky bridal shows - but nothing topped this magnificent bridal show in New York City! Robin and I had a fantastic time seeing amazing wedding vendors and designers at the New York Weddings Magazine Bridal Show Last week! Our jaws dropped when we saw these amazing suits from Alton Lane. You can even customize the lining of the jackets for your groom or groomsmen!! And they are committed to a better world by investing in clean water and providing clothing for children both domestically and abroad! Totally Eco-Beautiful!
Our faves Amanda and Robard from Newlywish - quite possibly the best registry for your lifestyle! They believe in finding exceptional local vendors that have amazing style that you would not normally see in most major department store registries. You can even find gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen! Seriously - we are in love with them! AND - you don’t have to be based in New York to use this registry which is now starting to use vendors all over North America! QUICK - get on their site to register today!
Ahh - twobirds bridesmaids dresses surprised us with these new styles at the bridal show! We absolutely have loved their dresses since they were born - but now - we are past smitten! Their dresses are now available in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK!!! We love their fair trade, fair wage designs by New Yorker Ariane Finkel…Be sure to check out our editorial about twobirds bridesmaids dresses from our premiere issue!
We were so happy to see sweetie pie Jacqueline Weppner of Merci New York and Merci NYC blog. She styled the Newlywish Booth and Gabriella Bridal’s booth! JUST GORGEOUS! She is the top wedding stylist in New York and we love seeing her at various press stops we make! Always has a smile and just one of the nicest ladies in the wedding industry!
And last, but certainly not least, we got to see the utterly couture Maya Kalman from Swank Productions (one of the best wedding and event planning and producers in NYC)! Loved her clean and chic booth and of course - her beautiful smile!!!
Stay tuned next week for a style update as Robin and I are off to NY City this weekend for the Spring Bridal Market - look out for a recap!
Have a great weekend!

Cover Photo Shoot
We had such a tough time figuring out which photos to showcase in our cover photo shoot because Marta Locklear is a genius! She does weddings, babies, portraits and fashion….and she does them all WELL!
Our Editor-in-Chief Katie Martin could not resist the National Capital Trolley Museum for this shoot. Just way to good to be true!
