I am so happy to bring you the best of New York Magazine’s Wedding Show. It is certainly the wedding event of the season and well attended it was. Over 100 vendors gathered to kick off bridal fashion week. It was an interesting blend of vendors I know and love sprinkled with first meeting and stunning new discoveries. Thanks to Jen Huang for taking the time to make these beautiful photographs and so generously sharing the images.

Poppies and Posies designed Laura Napier’s tables. These women are so delightful and I adore their aesthetic which was shared by many throughout the event.

Designs by Ahn’s exquisite arrangements were rich in colors and textures.

I heart Nine Cakes!

Hatch is incredible. Their designs inspire!

Happy to see Gabriella! Her beautiful wedding dress is positioned front and center amongst other stunning gowns.

Congratulations to Lanie of the Lovely Bride on the grand opening of her West Village bridal shop yesterday! I look forward to visiting soon. The lovely Jillian of Jillian Event Design and Styling created this pretty table.

Happy to bring you another new genelogy chart by Elana of Mélangerie, she tells me they plan to keep introducing more new charts on a semi regular basis. They are still one of the most ingenious and creative ways to welcome your guests, personalize the wedding reception and create a keepsake that will hang on your wall for years to come!

Planning a traditional tea ceremony?

Dynasty and Ceremony’s table was beautiful.

I love this bouquet by ciao Bella floral styling!

This is simply an overview of a wonderful evening. I plan to share more of Jen’s beautiful photos and feature some of the vendors I saw in depth in the weeks to come. Two personal highlights of the evening were meeting industry greats Tara Guérard of Soirée and Alison Hotchkiss of Alison Events. Two of the finest event planners in the country, the weddings they produce influence and ignite! I am a big admirer of their work and was absolutely delighted for the opportunity to meet them in person. Tara is from Charleston, she was launching The Lettered Olive and signing her beautiful book. Based in San San Francisco, Alison is known for designing spectacular destination events and was recently featured in Martha Stewart Weddings.

Hungry for more? Want another perspective of the same event, check out Merci NYC, it’s an excellent resource for the sophisticated Manhattan bride. Jackie’s sense of style is brilliant. It was fun for me to experience this event with her.

Did you see my favorite new vendor of the show yesterday?

Remember tonight is Happily Ever After! Hope to see many of you there.
