Yesterday, Mayra and I were thrilled to be invited to Bride's.com , authors of the Wedding Bits Blog luncheon for Wedding Bloggers. It was a fun filled affair filled with some of my favorite favorite bloggers including Margit from Simply Stated, Jaime from It's a Jaime Thing, our friend Vane from Brooklyn Bride, Bee from Wedding Bee, as well as fabulous blogging ladies from Eco-Chic Weddings, Perfect Bound, Wedding Dish, From I Will To I Do
We were treated to a fabulous chat and show and tell with the wonderful Angel Sanchez! He told us all about coming to NY after doing bridal couture for many years in Venezuela and the challenges and joys of designing for the many brides who he doesn't always get to meet, but who love and marry in his amazing gowns. He 2009 line has something for every bride, from romantic to sexy and sleek. I was able to ask him for his thoughts on accessorizing Bridal gowns for the every day bride and he was up front and Coco Chanel about it- less is more. Veils are a must for him, necklaces much less so and simple little earrings. SHOES however, he is uncompromising about. I also picked his brains about foundation garments, because many a busty bride has a cup that runneth over and doesn't always know the best wedding solution. His answer, suprising me anyway, MAIDENFORM. He said less, in terms of adornment, is more and boning is the only thing that really matters when you are trying to keep things in place!
Here are a couple of the great things we got to check out in person yesterday. Thanks to the people at Wedding Bits for having us!
