If you have been reading our tweets and perusing our Facebook page, you’ve probably been wondering why we haven’t uttered a peep about Bridal Market on the blog. Yes, it wrapped last week. Yes, we loooved the shows. Yes, the events were awe-inspiring. And yes, we cannot wait to share all the pretty details… But we kind of want to take a different approach. Not bombard you with all the sweetness at once {because believe me, we’ve got a lot}. We’re doing this in tiny touches. Pretty pieces. One designer and event at a time. Because guess what? These gorgeous gowns aren’t hitting the stores tomorrow, they’re coming down the pipeline in the months to come.
But maybe mom had a point. Bridal market is our big bag of Halloween bounty. It’s a jack-o-lantern filled with sweet, fashionable treats and gorgeous goodness. Boy, do we want to dive right in. But we’re not going to gorge you. We’re feeding one juicy, little morsel at a time and letting these puppies last you til December.
It certainly lets the fun linger a little longer…
Here’s hoping you enjoy our {intentionally intermittent} bridal market posts!

Being of Welsh decent, Anne Bowen titled her collection “Of the Gods,” and named her gowns after Welsh Goddesses like Tamara {Goddess of Rivers}, Serona {Goddess of Healing} and Don {Goddess of the Heavens}. It was truly breathtaking to watch these ethereal creations saunter down the runway. Anne provided a bit of goddess-goodness for every bride.
Equally ethereal, but worlds apart stylistically, the gown on the right is wonderfully romantic, but the swirling layers add a modernized texture that keeps it from becoming too sweet.
The gown at right began a Twitter conversation on it’s own when we polled our readers about Anne’s “bridal hood.” There’s a pneumatic beauty to it’s shape, and we love it for a certain destination bride… but would you wear it on your wedding day?
So lovelies… which goddess-like gowns suit your fancy? Would you opt for a “veiled” dress, bridal hood, or bold one-shoulder neckline on your wedding day?
