Oh how we adore Bridal Market, which kicks off tomorrow for the Spring 2016 Bridal Gown season. It’s an incredibly exciting adventure as we run breathlessly from show to show watching bridal gown designers unveil their latest genius in wedding gown (and sometimes bridesmaids) style. Big reveal after big reveal tells us what stylish brides everywhere want to know: what are the hottest trends and latest wedding day fashions?
The dream team at Martha Stewart Weddings put together a fun sneak peek of sketches and inspiration shared with them by several designers. We’ve pulled out a few of our beloved designers to share with you here. And know that we will recap right here for you all of the gorgeous goodness that we soak in over the next several days during New York Bridal Market, so stay tuned!

Claire Pettibone shares thoughts behind her inspiration: “The endless land absorbs our dreams, and the sheltering sky embraces the dreamers with its wide blue arms. You and I are like the tawny hawks sailing over our heads, making slow shadows on the grass.” |
