The Bountiful Best from Fall '10 Bridal Fashion Week

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I don't foresee myself walking down the aisle anytime soon, but that won't stop me from peeping at the latest bridal fashions from Jenny Packham, Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier, and Temperley London. For Fall '10, the designers supplied us with an abundance of fabulous, frothy layers of tulles, taffeta, lace, and ruffles. However, what really caught my eye were a surprising selection of fancy short frocks and even black dresses – who dares? Check out the bountiful best from Fall '10 Bridal Fashion Week!

Anzevino and Florence Creates Walking on Air Wedding Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Wedding season on the Sugar network has wrapped, but that doesn't mean we can't still drool over a devastatingly beautiful wedding dress. Said gown is Anzevino and Florence's Walking on Air Wedding Dress ($1,000). It's (not surprisingly) sold out at Revolve, but brides-to-be, I would contact the designers to inquire directly. It has all the components of a traditional wedding frock - poufy, tiered, strapless, tulle - but comes together in an amazingly non-traditional and avant-garde way. If Carrie Bradshaw had a backup dress for her wedding to Big, this. Would. Be. It.

See more of the magical dress.

Fab Flash: Economy Forces Bridal Designers to Think Bigger and Cheaper

FabSugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:50:22 -0700

During trying, economic times, bridal designers are forced to think creatively. On top of slashing prices, designers are cooking up new, imaginative designs to lure in the bride to be. Vera Wang, for example, reduced her price points up to 50 percent with gowns retailing at $3,600 compared to $5,500 last year. "There is a bigger challenge. You have to be creative and be sure you want to show something special,” said Carolina Herrera who came up with a unique bridal collection inspired by classic painters such as Claude Monet and Édouard Manet.
