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.

Welcome back for Part 7! Our last day at market, we headed off to Pier 94 for the New York International Bridal Show. This was a wedding mecca!

The format was a little different there. Instead of runway shows, there are hundreds of booths filled with dresses and accessories for press and buyers. So much to pour through, so little time! We could have spent days in there. Love the little girl below who got swooped up by one of the models. She was so happy!

We might have had a little too much fun in the Alisa Benay booth… and by a little I mean a lot! Doesn’t that model below look familiar? Oh, yes – that’s our Editor in Chief, Ms. Lara Casey, in one of our favorite gowns! Isn’t she a stunner? I vote for a Lara + Ari vow renewal! Whose with me? Love it! Lara fell in love with the dress for its sweet Southern details – lace on the straps and bodice and buttons all the way down the back with a little antique glamour in the brooch. The best part? The low scoop of the back. Romantic and modern. Alisa’s collection is so dreamy! From Lara: OK OK, I just couldn’t resist! Alisa said “try it on!” and I just couldn’t say no. What’s a girl to do surrounded by so much wedding dress eye candy!? It was a fun indulgence. And I might be considering that vow renewal.

Next up, we hunted for the best accessories to share with y’all in future Southern Weddings shoots. We really loved Haute Bride – lots of modern (and affordable!) pieces. Loved the “something blue” stone drop below left and the more dramatic floral and crystal piece at right.

And then… are y’all ready for this!? Lara discovered the dress of all dresses! A SEERSUCKER gown from Ian Stuart! Oh, my Southern heart be still! These iPhone pics just don’t do it justice!

They say you save the best for last, but let me tell you that is an understatement! Up next… the Martha Stewart Party and the Knot Gala with lots of fun wedding folks!

Welcome back for our complete coverage of Bridal Market in NY this week! Our next show was Chaviano Couture, and we were thrilled to be front and center to watch our dear friend (and SW V2 model!) Annette debut her collection. Her convertible designs really came to life on the runway. Congratulations, Annette!

Next up was sweet Southern belle, Anne Barge. Gorgeous ballroom, great music and incredibly detailed dresses proved to be one of our favorites. The best part? The models were all smiling! Double win! Our video from Anne’s show is here. Below: Lara with Sylvia Weinstock and Harmony of the Bridal Bar.

We were so excited to see V2 cover, Adair, work it on the runway.

So stunning, isn’t she!?

We went backstage after and we were so excited to hear that Adair had just gotten engaged!

Wow! That’s a jam packed two days, and we aren’t even near done yet! Just wait…
