But what would a wedding be without fashion?  Brides were treated to a full Bridal Reflections fashion runway show featuring the 2010 Bridal and Evening Wear collections of exclusive designers Marina K Couture, Stephen Yearick, and Ines Di Santo.  All the latest and hottest trends were on display, including:

-Mermaid styles and dropped waist

-Wearing two gowns!  One for the ceremony and one, often a short dress or one with no train, for the reception for more comfortable dancing.

-Rouching

-Jeweled accent such as broaches or beaded belts.

-Elements of petals or feathers, either in the skirt or hair.

-Strapless is still very hot, along with one shoulder gowns.

Mermaid styles and elongated bodices are all the rage, and no one cuts these beautiful silhouettes quite like designer Ines Di Santo.  She also displays a few other current trends including rouching , using elements of petals, and a unique detachable train.  Designer Denise Leli fashioned petal accents for the hair to accompany her Reni headpiece. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These popular silhouettes are not just for bridal, as this evening wear gown from designer Stephen Yearick shows.  Dramatic use of crystals, a dropped waist, and creative use of rouching on the skirt create a gown that is anything but traditional.  The second dress from Stephen Yearick is for the bride that loves elaborate detail, featuring intricate crystal beadwork and a sheer illusion yoke neckline. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the ballgown below, Marina K Couture displays her signature corset top, beautifully embroidered, along with a tiered organza skirt.  This is followed by a unique take on the popular strapless design with a floral lace accent that comes to the shoulder, creating an eye catching element for this beautiful design.

Welcome to the all new Bridal Reflections Blog, a place to learn about everything in the World of Bridal Couture. Our writers will keep you informed and entertained with their insights, the latest news in designer bridal fashions and what’s hot on the modern wedding scene. We’ll tell you what’s in vogue and how to stay timelessly elegant. Blogger RoseLynn Micari-Fiumara is also MyWedding.com’s resident bridal expert, and you can also look forward to contributing bloggers such as Vice President Cristina DeMarco, Anthony Micari, and other Bridal Reflections staff members.

In just under four years, Bridal Reflections, one of New York’s most prestigious names in Bridal Wear, has outgrown their Fifth Avenue, Manhattan location and has relocated to a new spacious, elegantly appointed salon between 28th and 29th Streets.

Bridal Reflections’ new location at 260 Fifth Avenue is close to three times its original size, making room for their ever growing collection of cutting edge designer and couture wedding gowns, in addition to a new Eveningwear Boutique and Bridal Shoe Department. It is truly the only place a bride needs to visit to see unparalleled bridal fashion and accessories in an elegant, spacious environment. Check out some of the store photographs at the end of this article to get a glimpse at the new location.

The grand opening was celebrated on Friday, October 16th with a cocktail party attended by over one hundred industry members. These included the Editor of Brides Magazine Millie Martini Bratten, Bridal Couture Designers Jim Hjelm of the James Clifford Collection, Ines Di Santo, Rani Totman of St. Pucchi, Marina K., and Leigh Price of Stephen Yearick and Ysa Makino. Grace Ormonde of Wedding Style Magazine, of which Bridal Reflections is a member of their prestigious Platinum List, also joined in the celebration.

Bridal Reflections carries fashion from Ines Di Santo, Romona Keveza, Anne Barge, David Tutera, Badgley Mischka, St. Pucchi, Marina K. Couture, Katerina Bocci, Cristine Anthony, Eve of Milady, Amalia Carrara, James Clifford, Ysa Makino, Stephen Yearick, Alvina Valenta, Avine Perucci, Jim Hjelm, Lazaro, Simone Carvalli and dozens more. Visit our Bridal Couture Gown Gallery to explore all of these designer creations.

“We are incredibly proud of the success of Bridal Reflections in New York City and we needed a space suitable to accommodate our increased business,” says Bridal Reflections President Tony Micari. “This new location redefines elegance, from the relaxing reception area to the luxurious dressing rooms and spacious fitting rooms. Combined with impeccable alterations and unmatched personalized service, we offer brides an experience they will cherish and remember long after their wedding day. We call it ‘The Bridal Reflections Experience’, developed from 37 years of integrity, always family owned and operated.”

With this move, Bridal Reflections continues as New York’s Salon of Distinction combining big city sophistication and glamour with unprecedented service also found in their Long Island Salons. This gives brides an added convenience, allowing them to purchase in one salon and have alterations at whichever location is most convenient.
