Bridal Market :: Away We Go!

by Whitney in In The Office, Main on October 14, 2011

Marissa and I have been counting down the days to Bridal Market for months now and suddenly, it’s here! Yippee! Time flies when you’re making a magazine, right Marissa? MK: Yes, ma’am! I just had to pop in and say how excited I am, y’all!

Our suitcases are packed (full of Southern Weddings V4s), I’ve printed out my plane tickets, and I could not be more excited! Those New York yankees need a good dash of Southern love and we are happy to oblige!

Just swing by Coren Moore, Ivy + Aster or Aruna Seth’s booths at Pier 94 to pick up your very own copy of this deliciously huge issue. We are huge fans of Coren Moore’s classic bridesmaid dresses and have you seen Ivy + Aster’s whimsical gowns? Not to mention Aruna Seth’s stunning shoes! We’re thrilled to partner with these fabulous designers and give you the chance to pick up your copy of Southern Weddings V4 weeks before it hits shelves! Copies of Southern Weddings V4 will also be available at the COUTURE show so be sure to grab one while you can. They will be gone faster than you can say ‘sweet tea’!

So there you have it! If you’ll be at Bridal Market this weekend, be sure to say howdy. Marissa and I love to make new friends!

To New York we go!

Love,

Whitney and Marissa

Bridal Market :: Whitney and Marissa Hit the Big Apple

by Marissa in In The Office, Main, News on October 4, 2011

That’s right, y’all! These Southern girls are headed North (for the weekend, that is)! Whitney and I could NOT be more excited about our upcoming trip to the Big Apple for New York’s Bridal Market. We’ll be getting up close and personal with all the gorgeous collections of designer dresses for Fall 2012 to bring you, our lovely brides, the best and most Southern gowns and glittering goodies!

Whitney: I just had to jump in, because I’m too excited to let Marissa make this fantastic announcement all by herself! This will be my first time attending Bridal Market, and I’m just as happy as can be to get the chance to see all of the gorgeousness from our favorite bridal designers. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it, right Marissa?

Here’s a little rundown on all the fabulous details of our trip!

What exactly is Bridal Market? It’s so much fun, y’all! No, really! Bridal Market is a gathering of the best of the best in bridal fashion from all over the world. It’s also where wedding gown and accessory designers introduce their collections for the next season. Think Fashion Week – only better! We were thrilled to be invited to cover all the loveliness! Let me tell you, last year I think I said “Oh my gosh, y’all!” over 100 times. Just ask Lara!

When will the SW ladies be there? We’ll be jetting into NYC in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday and heading back below the Mason-Dixon on Monday night.

What designers will you be seeing? This might be my favorite part! We’ll be heading to the shows of Claire Pettibone, Amsale, Junko Yoshioka, Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier, Anne Barge, Watters and a few more! Yeehaw! Yep, we’re planning on fitting all those lovely gowns into just three short days!

We’ll also be keeping you all in the loop: we’ll have tweet-coverage LIVE all weekend long, so be sure to follow along with us: Southern Weddings, Marissa and Whitney.

Are you going to be there? You know what else we love besides silk, lace and ribbon? Seeing old friends and making new ones! If you see us at Market, we’d simply adore it if you’d come say “howdy!” P.S. We’re from the South, so we’re huggers! Can’t find us? Tweet us, Facebook us or email us! We’ll be sure to say “hey!”.

If you can’t wait until October 15th, get your fill with all of last year’s goodness. It was so huge we had to break it into eight pieces! 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Bridal Market Part 8 :: The Grand Finale!

by Lara Casey in Main, Personal on October 20, 2010

Hi y’all! Have you exploded from Bridal Market goodness yet? It’s Marissa again, back for our final installment! After getting all dolled up, we headed to the Martha Stewart Bridal Market event. The party was held in the textile showroom of their corporate offices. There were manicure stations, gelato carts and glitter everywhere! Waiters were passing mini-everything; grilled cheese, caramel apples, popsicles and even tiny Coke in a bottle! Lara and I felt like kids in a candy store with so many fun surprises and wonderful people!

Below left to right: Lara with Anthony Luscia of Martha Stewart, Preston Bailey (From Lara: Preston is the reason I got into weddings in the first place! Finally meeting him was a dream come true. He is so gracious and wonderful!), Randy Fenoli, Kate Parker, David Beahm, the mini Coke bottles and candy apples (yum!), me with Lara and Kate Parker [photo by Shane Carpenter Weddings], Christy from Junebug Weddings and the best party guests of all – who decided to fly to NY that day at noon! – Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce of Engaging Concepts (aka the creators of Engage!). Funny story: Lara was dancing with Randy Fenoli and he popped a button on his coat. What better place to lose a button that in Martha HQ!? His little sewing adventure even made Page 6 of the New York Post!

Love this text message that Lara’s husband sent her right as we were walking into the party : )

Our tour of the Martha Stewart offices with the best tour guide ever, Darcy Miller, was definitely the cherry on top! We only wish our moms and Katharine and Emily would have been there!

The Smilebooth never disappoints. We love them so much we even featured them in V3! First image from Shane Carpenter and the rest are from Smilebooth. See them all here. We left NY with glitter all over us, our suitcases, in our hair – everywhere!

We’re not done yet! That’s right, y’all – one night and two fabulous parties! Next up The Knot party at the New York Public Library! Photo below from Christian Oth. Click here to see all the rest of his gorgeous images from the gala.

As huge Sex and the City fans, this was a dream to mix and mingle in this historic (and Carrie-fied) space. We loved the fifteen-foot tall replica of a Monique Lhuillier gown made completely out of fresh flowers from the incomparable Preston Bailey. We visited Preston’s offices a few days earlier and got to see this beauty being constructed. Amazing! Images below from our iPhones. These pics just don’t do the event justice, y’all!

Flying home yesterday, I was still pinching myself. Huge thank you to Lara for bringing me along! You might just be the best boss ever! I already can’t wait for next year! From Lara: Thank you for being such a great Bridal Market buddy! And thank you, dear readers, for following along with our adventures. It was a whirlwind of a weekend and we were happy to cover it for you!

So, which dress is your favorite from Bridal Market?!
