Wedding Wednesday: Anne Bowen Fall 2015 Bridal Collection
On a beautiful spring evening I strolled by Central Park making my way over to the Essex House to view Anne Bowen's Fall 2015 Bridal Collection. This is only the second Bridal Collection I have covered on the blog and it seriously couldn't be more fitting seeing it now through a bride-to-be's eyes. Sure I can see it as a fashionista, but it's interesting to take it all in as a woman who is getting married. I love drama on a dress whether it's bead working or the train. It's what being a bride to me is all about. It's about that amazing WOW factor and Anne Bowen's collection was not short of that.
Anne Bowen's collection has a bit of something for all types of brides, from the classic bride to the sexy bride to the non-traditional bride.I love seeing short dresses within a collection since there are so many different types of brides now and days. This gives woman options then having your usual wedding gown. Also these dresses are not only made perfect for the non-traditional bride but great for a reception dress (if it's in your budget) or a rehearsal dinner dress. Just a nice little added option to have.
My two favorite dresses in Bowen's collection was the mermaid style dress with the bountiful tulle bottom and the a-line off the shoulder beaded dress. I found it pretty funny that I loved the mermaid style dress, as I am not the mermaid style type of gal, but there was something about the tulle that i couldn't get over. It wasn't just the typical mermaid bottom that I have seen done over and over again, it's done in more of a dreamlike fashion. The a-line off the shoulder dress to me was the perfect princess dress. It's one that can be worn in a traditional and non-traditional sense.
To be honest looking at these dresses made me really excited about seeing my dress again (only 15 more days till my 1st fitting! I haven't seen it since I bought it in August). I can't wait to share with you all the dress I decided on, along with the fun and short journey it took finding it!
What do you think of Anne Bowen's Fall 2015 Bridal Collection? Can you see yourself saying Yes to any of these dresses?

Anne Bowen Bridal Collection 2012
I was invited to the Anne Bowen Bridal Collection 2012 show today at the Gansevoort Hotel. If you aren't familiar with Anne Bowen's work she is a luxury designer who does both bridal wear and ready to wear collections. She has also done interior design for showrooms like Seven For All Man Kind.
Today she premiered her 2012 Bridal Collection which was filled with plenty of dresses that can be worn in formal weddings to informal weddings. Her ranges were perfect for any woman looking for her perfect wedding dress. She had the princess wedding dress, the sleek crisp white dress, and minis. Maybe you wouldn't wear the minis down the aisle but I can see these being the dresses one would change into for their reception. Short, sexy, and full of sequins what more would you want for a reception dress? One of my favorite dresses was the crochet white dress with a champagne sash. When I saw this dress all I could think of how perfect this dress would be for a beach wedding. It was simple but get stunning. My absolute favorite was the last dress. It had a sequin bustier with a long slick white skirt and a long train. This dress is an eye catcher.
I was totally impressed by this collection. As a girl and a woman I still fantasize about my wedding day and my wedding dress. I still flirt in between the fairy tale princess dress and the informal but elegant dress. Seeing a bridal collection in person has made the decision even harder, I guess the good thing is that I don't have to make that decision anytime soon. I do however know is that when the time comes Anne Bowen will be one designer I will turn to have a dress.
O also how awesome is this we got little Thank You card and a bunch of other wedding paper goods!
