Trends & Favorites from Bridal Fashion Week 2012

With Bridal Fashion Week in New York last week, I am giddy with all the images from the runway as designers reveal their collections for Fall 2013.

While designers have shown some pretty crazy collections in the past, Vera Wang may have seemed to shock the most with the least shocking color of all...ivory. No black or crimson.

And lace was everywhere! The collection from Claire Pettibone may be one of the freshest to hit the runway and one of my favorites. The embroidery, ribbons and splash of color made for the most divine of details.

Trends rising to the top seem to include...

{lace overlays, sleeves, bold headpieces, hints of colors,

illusion necklines (my fave!) and allover sequins.}

Way hard to narrow down but here a few of my initial favorites down the runway...

Overall, I get a sense of understated quality while still opulent and beautiful.  Lucky brides.

Cheers!
