BRIDAL MARKET SPOTLIGHT: Vanilla Pink Bespoke Bridal

As promised, I had to further investigate what Vanilla Pink Bespoke Bridal was all about. So I went to their web site and fell in love. Designer Lisa Krizner-George morphed her Broadway costume design experience into the creation the most exquisite bridal gowns. Her handmade craftsmanship and fine detailing are a celebration of the individual - the individual bride. Hence, the bespoke part of her company. Bespoke means an item custom-made to the buyer's specification. What more can a bride ask for?

BRIDAL MARKET: Douglas Hannant Spring 2011

Douglas Hannant is one of my favorite bridal designers, who also presents RTW collections each season at NY Fashion Week. I love him because he always gives you something a little different. This year, in addition to the fabulous floral headpieces, two of his designs included a fabulous blue toile pattern and a gorgeous silver metallic print. There were traditional styles like the ball gown and the slip dress with the dropped cowl neck front. There was also plenty in between these styles with tiers and wraps in crisp white and creamy ecru. There was a wide variety of styles to please any and every bride. These pictures are the final results of all the hard work that took place backstage. {images via WWD}
