Oscar Fever!

So almost a week later and we are still swooning over Hugh Jackman and his endearing-if-not-embarrassing musical numbers last Sunday night at the Academy Awards.....

In true The Bride Room fashion, we were so anxious to see who wore what on the ever-delicious red carpet......The stars did not disappoint and much to our delight, we saw a few lovely Hollywood ladies in our very own and very dear Monique Lhuillier!

Let's be clear....we would have loved for Sean Penn to maybe even acknowledge his wife in his acceptance speech .... but seriously, we forgot all about it when we saw how fabulous she was looking ;)



And Anne Hathaway had the distinct pleasure of joining Mr. Jackman on stage for the opening number (PS: who knew she could sing!?!?!)....and we knew it was a Lhuillier the moment she hopped on stage....




So fun, right?!?! These gorgeous gowns make us very excited for what we will see at market in FIVE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)

New Bridesmaids....

So excited to share with you three new pieces from the Amsale Bridesmaids collection.....We fell in love at Market last fall, and quickly scooped up these pieces with fabulous wearability and ruffle details....

Then came this too cute ad campaign and we knew we were done! Love them all!!


These three styles landed in store last week, and we are expecting more....stay tuned!!!






(note: the one-shouldered ruffle dress is in store in the short version, not long as pictured above....so cute!!)

Let us know when you want to come in to see!!!

Martha + Dudley | November 15, 2008

Martha, Martha, Martha....oh how we adored Miss Martha.....

Martha is every bit as sweet and charming as she looks.....we love, love, love her innate sense of style and the fabulous confidence she expressed in choosing her dress....of course, looking at these photos, wouldn't you have known that you had found The One, too??








Another fun thing about Martha's wedding....she has introduced us to Aaron Snow of Aaron Snow Photography. He was kind and generous sharing some of his favorite pictures from the day....hope you love them as much as we do (yes, that squeal you heard was us!!! Martha was SO beautiful!!!)....Enjoy :)

Oh and we simply couldn't forget this sassy photo from Martha's bridal portrait.....LOVE IT!!!!

We are so pleased to introduce you to the impeccable Zuzannah, our newest piece in store by Monique Lhuillier....



She's fresh, feminine, full...and has certainly created a frenzy already :)

Can't wait for you to see her.....Don't forget, to see more gowns, make your appointment now for the Monique Lhuillier Trunk Show April 17 + 18....

Happy NY Fashion Week! Er...we mean President's Day!

Leave it to us to take a national federal holiday and geek out over the way it ties into...well, what really matters of course....Wedding Day Fashion :) :) :)

Our very own Priscilla of Boston had the pleasure of creating the timeless looks for the brides Nixon as well as Luci Johnson.....

[Fun facts.....Priscilla Kidder (THE Priscilla of Boston!) personally escorted Tricia Nixon's wedding dress to the White House, with an armed escort of secret service agents. A first class seat was purchased for the dress to ensure it's safe journey. The story of the gown and the Priscilla of BostonTM company was a featured cover story in Life magazine in 1971.]

See.....Priscilla's collections truly transcend time and remain classic...

Luci Johnson (1966):


Tricia Nixon (1971)


Julie Nixon (1968):




I think we can take the politics out of it altogether and agree that these brides were gorgeous!!!

Have a great President's Day!!!! :)

We definitely do not think it's too early to start booking, so we're ready for your appointment when you are.....

We also want to mention our ongoing Sample Sales....as general information, know that our Sample Sales aren't necessarily one-or two-day events... at any given point we have dresses eligible to be sold off the rack....It's a great option if you: 1. are a close or exact sample size; 2. have limited time for planning/ordering a gown; 3. are looking for a great dress at a fabulous price; or 4. all of the above!!!!

If there is a particular dress that we have and you're interested, don't hesitate to ask. The worst that can happen is it's not eligible yet! Currently, we have gowns from every designer available for Sample Sale......

Stay tuned for more fun in February!!!! Real weddings, new dresses, upcoming events, and....oh gosh, it's just 7 weeks til Spring Market!!!!! Get ready!

Kristin + Randy | Jan 17

Kristin and her family really got to be very near and dear to us over the months leading up to her wedding. It was such a pleasure helping Kristin create her wedding day look, and we're pretty sure there hasn't ever been a girl love her wedding dress as much as this bride!!!! It was so so so so so sweet getting to know her and see everything come together.....

One of our favorite memories was when Kristin came to order her veil....she knew she wanted the fabulous lace Toni Federici veil above, but since she had the long aisle at Scarritt Bennett, she wanted a custom length. Easy enough! So we pulled out our longest veil (the model for how long Kristin wanted her TF veil) and measured it, and it came in exactly at 117 inches.....unbelievable, since 1-17 was her wedding date.....it gives us chills thinking how perfect it was in that moment, and seeing how perfect it was in January......

The amazing Monique Lhuillier gown and PARIS brooch.....





Kristin's gorgeous winter wedding party.....looooove the rich red color!!! Gowns by Watters......


Paul Wharton was on hand for the photography. Clearly he did a great job -- I think this is one of our faves.....it's so natural and honest.....looks like they are most comfortable and happiest just being together....isn't that the point??? .....Love it all!




Kristin and family -- our sincerest thanks for letting us be there for this amazing celebration.....please don't be a stranger!!! We miss you already!!!!

New Girls in Shoppe!

Happy February, ladies! We have missed you!!! Sorry we've been out of touch on here - so much going on! A good thing!

We've been recovering from last week's trunk show- which was oh! so! fabulous!!! To our sweet, sweet brides who found your dresses last weekend....millions of kisses and thanks for letting us be a part! Each and every one of you has a story around your dress and it was exciting... thrilling...fascinating to be a part of the process! THANK YOU so much! We are afraid we might be more excited for your weddings than you are! An occupational hazard, we suppose :) :)

In the meantime - the new pieces have been arriving!!! We are out of our heads excited about the new collections coming in. Never has the marriage (pun totally intended) of fashion and bridal been more exciting!!!! The empire waists and pockets! The sleek lines and bejeweled goodness!! It's going to be an incredible spring!!!

These lovelies by Amsale landed in store this week....you might recognize them from the 2 page spread in the recent Martha Stewart Weddings (which...you....totally...need....) Don't wait another minute to come see them - they are precious and pretty...and yet sophisticated and timeless....Ladies, meet Nicole and Serena by Amsale!




See you soon!!!!
