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!

Spring 2011 Bridal Market Recap, Pt I
NYC Bridal Market was such a fabulous, fun whirlwind! Visiting designers, seeing the collections, and meeting such great people - we wish you all could have been there!
So, we’re bringing some of Spring 2011 NYC Bridal Market to you, sharing the (eco) trends and bridal gown beauty we saw.
We’re thrilled to report that, overall, with each passing season, eco-friendly in bridal is evolving from niche to mainstream, with many designers incorporating green business and production processes into their designs.
Full and Flowy
From fitted figure highlighting gowns to graceful, fuller skirts, movement and gossamer textiles were on the runway! The fluttering, floating movement and classic shapes combined for breathtaking, buoyant style.

Shimmer!
Almost every collection we saw had gowns with sparkle – some bedazzling, others subtle, but without a doubt dazzling. The sparkle made its way into accent belts, fabric, and broaches, making it a very versatile trend.

More bridal market gorgeousness tomorrow!
