Prom Donations
Bridal
Reflections has a strong tradition of
helping its surrounding communities. One of
the ways we do this is through our prom
donation program. Over the years, Bridal
Reflections has helped thousands of young
women attend their prom by donating a
beautiful gown they might have otherwise not
been able to attain. This article, featured
in the Long Beach Herald, highlights our
efforts.

WOR Radio Bridal
Event & Fashion Show
On March 3rd, 2007, Bridal Reflections
hosted the fashion show at the WOR Radio
Bridal Show held at the Metropolitan
Pavilion in New York City. They showcased a
variety of their top designers, many of whom
personally attended. The show was hosted by
the owner of the salon as well as Joan
Hamburg, one of radio’s most endearing
personalities. It truly showcased the
fashion that makes Bridal Reflections the
only salon a bride need visit.

In September 2007, Joan Hamburg of WOR Radio
710, one of radio’s most influential and
listened to personalities, broadcasted her
show live from Bridal Reflections on Fifth
Avenue. Among the participants in this
wedding themed show was Anthony Micari,
owner of Bridal Reflections, designer Jim
Hjelm, celebrity wedding planner Marcy Blum,
famed cake designer Sylvia Weinstock, among
others. Guests were treated to an informal
fashion show of some of Bridal Reflection’s
most beautiful couture gowns.
Below is a review of the show found on
www.wedlock.com written by one of
the esteemed guests, Rev. Laurie Sue
Brockway. She had some wonderful things to
say about Bridal Reflections as well.
Joan Hamburg Gathers New York's Top Wedding
Industry Movers and Shakers
Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway
I had the honor of being a guest on The
Joan Hamburg Show on WOR, out of New
York, and was part of an exciting show on
weddings. Joan invited leaders of the New
York City wedding industry - cake maven
Sylvia Weinstock, celebrity wedding planner
Marcy Blum, editors of TheKnot.com among
them -- and asked me to her be her guest on
interfaith and non denominational weddings.
The show was taped live, with an audience,
at Bridal Reflections at 286 Fifth
Avenue, and airs this morning in the 9 AM to
11 AM time slot of The Joan Hamburg Show.
You can also listen to it on line.
Joan is an amazing consumer reporter and
interviewer and all-around lovely person. I
was thrilled last year when she featured me
as a leading non-denominational and
interfaith minister in her book, City
Weddings: A Guide to the Best Bridal
Resources in New York, Long Island,
Westchester, New Jersey & Connecticutt
(Universe Publishing, 2006).
It was such a fun show. First of all, Bridal
Reflections is an amazing bridal salon. It
is an almost zen approach to bridal gowns,
with a lovely waterfall outside the door
before you even enter. Inside is so elegant,
with some of the most scrumptious wedding
gowns hanging beautifully on mannequins and
elegantly displayed on racks.
The wedding industry is known for causing
"snow blindness" and "white out" when brides
go to bigger salons to shop. Bridal
Reflections makes brides -- and everyone --
feel welcome and treats the eye to a truly
beautiful bridal site. They hosted a lovely
reception for Joan's radio show. I met the
owners. I can only image their service to
brides is top notch and very RELAXING!
During the taping of Joan's show, two models
came out between segments to model awesome
wedding gowns, offering an informal bridal
fashion show. I see A LOT of wedding dresses
in my line of work but even I got excited by
some of the gorgeous gowns at Bridal
Reflections.
