And we’re back!

We are fresh from New York International Bridal Week (better known as Bridal Market) this past weekend, and we’re still in a New York (and bridal fashion) state of mind!

The first cousin to New York’s Fashion Week in Bryant Park, Bridal Market brings together some of the most notable names in the wedding industry for a sneak peek at the hottest gown and accessory collections for the upcoming seasons. There are swoon-worthy details at almost every corner you turn! So much bridal loveliness—it’s heavenly!

Each year, we are thrilled to see more and more amazing eco-bridal couture! These designers are creating handcrafted masterpieces from natural fabrics, laces and beading. And even better? Many of them are based here in the USA!

We were so inspired and giddy from the weekend that on Monday, we got to right to work planning the editorial for our upcoming summer issue! We can’t give it away yet, but we promise that this photo shoot is going to remind you why Eco is oh so Beautiful!

Stay tuned!

Anna Maier Ulla-Maija Spring 2012 Collection

A little bit of black is still making it on the bridal market runway for Anna Maier Ulla-Maija’s Spring 2012 Wedding Gown Collection. We love her designs as she also does high end couture right here in the states!

This multi-tiered strapless gown with waist embellishment had a subtle Spanish flair to it.

This strapless gown had just the perfect amount of drama with its asymmetrical waist and gorgeous bustle!

Beautiful elegance with this lovely lace overlay strapless gown.

This gown is simply swoon worthy! The one shoulder floral accented A-Line gown is just perfect for a garden wedding!

Love these two very simple lace gowns that are divine for the classic and timeless bride.

Love the glamorous look of this strapless gown - again she totally captures the timeless and classic bride here. This would also be perfect for a vintage style wedding as it has that wonderful old Hollywood Glamour look to it!

Total drama gown! Please brides - buy this gown and take many photos in it! MY GOODNESS - MY ABSOLUTE favorite from this collection. The gigantic ruffle with a little bit of lace peeking through - Just divine for ANY wedding!!!!!

Ultra feminine with a little bit of drama! Look at that one shoulder detailing with beautiful floral accents and the tiered skirt to boot!

Beautiful Collection to dream upon for the weekend!
