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?

Wedspiration: Loverly and Bauble Bar Event
Last week I attended the Loverly event at the Bauble Bar pop-up shop with my cousin and bridesmaid Jessica (check out here blog Pins, Needles, Fashion). I took this opportunity take in some inspiration for my own wedding that is coming up next year. It seems so far away, but I know this year will blow by so why not enjoy the wedding planning and inspiration now while I have the time! Not only was their plenty of eye candy between the Bauble Bar jewelry, the lovely table displays (thanks to Newlyish) and beautiful dresses from Donna Morgan and Jenny Yoo, but we also got enjoy yummy little cupcake treats and Godiva liquor. I even got to try on my first (yes FIRST) wedding dress from Jenny Yoo. Sorry you won't get to see a picture of me in it, at least maybe not until I find THE DRESS then maybe I can display the nos. Anyway, not only was this dress super light with a sweetheart neckline, but it is a funky convertible dress that can be worn 16 ways! This dress has 4 hidden chiffon panels 2 in the front 2 in the back which allow you to switch your look around (learn more about the Hathaway dress here). I love that you get to play with the different style and get a lot of use out of it, and for a dress that you can switch up 16 different ways it has a lower price point then one might expect at $1,495, we are talking bridal gowns here!
I even fell in love with the Donna Morgan bridesmaid dress in spearmint. It is the exact mint color that I have been looking for for my bridesmaid dresses! (I bet you are so surprised that mint will be a color in my wedding.) I literally died when I saw it. I love it strapless (featured above) but some of my girls I know won't feel totally comfortable in a strapless so after doing some online investigation I came across the same color dress but this time in a convertible dress at an affordable price of $178 (learn more about the Blaire and Lindsey dresses). Now I just need to find a place that sells her in New York City....which seems like a more difficult task then one might think...
Hopefully there will be more bridal events to come that I will share with you all. If anyone is interested in seeing some more Wedspiration, hop on over to my wedding pinterest board!
