Market Mania!

This week the bridal fashion market officially opens in NYC. (In past weeks there have been other shows in Chicago, Las Vegas and Dallas.) So, along with Bridal Guide’s fashion editors, Naima DiFranco and Maureen Choi, and our online editor, Rachel Jacoby, I will be literally running all over Manhattan every hour on the hour for the next 5 days to see what designers have in store for all you lucky brides. We’ll see hundreds of new dresses and marvel at the designers’ creativity. How do they come up with fresh style ideas season after season? It’s always fascinating to see their inventive ideas.

This week we previewed some exquisite new gowns from David’s Bridal. There are lots of options coming your way whether you prefer an uber-romantic gown or something more sleek and sophisticated. Here’s a look at what’s in store:

Then simply remove the bottom skirt and you’re wearing a short, chic look for the reception or after party. Genius!

There are also some fab looks for your wedding party:

…as well as for mom…

This is just the beginning so stay tuned for more news on the latest bridal fashions for 2011…you’re sure to find your dream dress. Now, I better go stock up on some power bars!
