This year we are looking forward to see what new exhibitors the market has to offer and of course, very excited to see all the new collections!

Also in October, right after the Chicago market, there is the always much anticipated bridal market in New York City....The Wedding Channel Couture Show!

October 16th through the 18th

Like every year, the event is held at the InterContinental The Barclay New York ~ 111 East 48th Street (Between Lexington & Park Avenue) This show is the most established, premier bridal industry trade show in New York City since 1995. Twice yearly (April & October) national and international designers, retailers and press attend WCCS to introduce, buy and announce the latest fashion trends in the bridal industry.

We can't wait to attend this year's show. In the mean time, here are some pictures from last year's market at the exhibition of Spaniard designer Rosa Clará 2010 collection

Rosa Clará is THE designer for the modern, feminine, contemporary bride. Her designs are all cut to order and manufactured in their headquarters in Barcelona, Spain. The 2010 collection is based of simple lines with close-fitting gowns, ruffles, rosettes...it's simply stunning! The fabrics are top quality...natural draped silk muslin are used to create skirts that are sheer - perfect for a beach wedding! Rosa Clará also uses in her designs natural silk taffeta and silk organza with floral appliques, giving the skirts spectacular volume that combines with the hand-stitched main section with herringbone pleats.

She has designed the wedding gowns for numerous celebrities among those the three fabulous gowns worn by International Spanish singer Paulina Rubio.

The designer has already five different collections that will sure please the taste of different brides. The collections are ROSA CLARA, TWO BY ROSA CLARA, AIRE BARCELONA, ALMA NOVIA and the newest collection for 2011 LUNA.

The collection 2011 AIRE BARCELONA by Rosa Clará was introduced this past April at the Wedding Channel Couture Show in New York and will be presented as well at the Chicago bridal market this October. Penelope Cruz' sister, Monica is the new face for AIRE BARCELONA. These designs are very youthful, fresh and modern. They're also introducing their Fiesta Collection (all silk fabrics), for bridesmaids, mother of the bride or simply breathtaking designs suitable for a red carpet event.

We cannot wait to see the collection and bring you the exclusive look at the new designs. For more information about Rosa Clará, visit their website at http://www.rosaclara.es/ or http://www.airecollection.es/

Aside from bringing you the hottest new designers the bridal market has to offer, we will be bringing you the details of each special event we attend this year. I can never forget the extraordinary celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Martha Stewart Weddings. I had the pleasure to attend this VIP event at the one and only dream venue for all brides "The Plaza" in New York.

It was an exhilarating ride to be able to mingle with so many talented and creative people in the industry...all under one roof. Renowned designers, celebrity wedding planners, boutique owners such as Kleinfeld, Mark Ingram, among others enjoyed the delicious display of food from the chefs at The Plaza and also Iron Chef Morimoto served us an array of sushi, sashimi and other delicacies of his cuisine. The decor was stunning and the one responsible of course...Matthew Robbins Design. The room was transformed with white furniture and pink & gold accents.
