Lace, lace, and more lace! We're loving the vintage feel of delicate lace paired with the sexy, fitted A-line and trumpet silhouettes. With luxurious fabrics draping and pooling into romantic cascades, these Jenny Lee gowns are sure to make any woman feel like a princess.  Check out some of Jenny Lee's 2013 Spring Collection:

Bridal Market Recap: Carolina Herrera

Somewhat classic and somewhat edgy, the Carolina Herrera Fall 2012 collection is perfect for the modern, yet traditional, bride.  Complete with beautiful eyelet details, fun unexpected color, romantic tulle ballgowns, and dramatic textures this collection was certainly a stand out one for us.  This collection is a more timeless option than some others we've featured and one we think will universally popular.

Color Day: Bridal Market Recap - Vera Wang

Can a designer really pull off a Bridal show without even a spot of white? Well, during this Fall's bridal market week, Vera Wang showed us just how possible it is. Vera's fall bridal collection for 2012 is certainly unique and non-traditional. Instead of your typical bridal whites and ivory, the audience was treated to a beautiful and unexpected array of nude and black gowns that would be suitable for any bride with a little bit of an edge.  Here's our inspiration board inspired by the cutting edge Fall 2012 Vera Wang collection!

Bridal Market Week Recaps: Jenny Packham

When we saw Kate Middleton in that exquisitely beaded pink Jenny Packham dress back in June we secretly hoped that it might be a hint towards where the designer's Fall 2012 Bridal Collection was headed. And, needless to say, we certainly weren't disappointed. A little bit Gatsby, a little bit goddess, and even a little bit medieval, the Jenny Packham collection is the perfect mix of vintage elegance and bohemian charm.  We love love love this designer and the antique quality of these dresses, complete with intricate beading and a romantic sparkle that is truly glamorous.  This collection is so fantastic that we had a hard time choosing just eight pics, so be sure to click the link to brides.com to view all 30 equally gorgeous dresses!
