Oh Amsale! I just love the eternally classic designs that come from this wedding dress collection every season. For fall 2013, the collection was called American Metropolitan, and was “a celebration of American couture and a love letter to the sleek style of New York Cityfrom the potent lines of its architecture to the polished chic of its most stylish women.” No doubt! Simple, sophisticated and effortlessly chic – Amsale is perfect for the modern bride. This Bridal Market runway show was a delight, as always.
Oh the style of Parisians – it’s impossibly chic and fashion-forward, and makes me ache for a look that feels so effortless! When it comes to French bridal designers, the talented and beautiful Delphine Manivet embodies all of that, both personally, and in her wedding dress and accessory designs. This latest collection for 2013 includes wedding dresses with simple shapes that create a look of easy sophistication. I love it all!
Check out this video from Delphine Manivet’s recent gorgeous runway show, and see her dresses yourself in her Paris boutique as well as in the US at Lovely and BHLDN.

What three adjectives best describe your wedding day?Glamorous, Simple and Retro
Was there a decor theme that ran through your wedding? What was the inspiration for that particular idea and how did it reflect you as a couple?Ive always been fascinated by the 1950s and wanted to do something that portrayed the era in a way that was celebratory and classy. We chose to glam up the theme with bold black and whites, and add a pop of lime green for fun. How did the decor reflect us? I think mostly it just conveyed that we are willing to let loose and not take ourselves too seriously!
What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning?Because the colors and the theme were pretty bold, we felt like we didnt need to go over the top with the other elements. We really wanted the attire to be the focus and have the details be the accents. I think it ended up working really well.
Where did you choose to hold your wedding, and how did the location influence your decor decisions?My mothers custom craftsman home is so gorgeous. And really, it could be found in the Hamptons and not in the sleepy little town its in! Also, of course the intimacy of a private family home was really key. It was a perfect garden party.
Looking back, do you have a favorite project or successful decor idea from your wedding? Tell us what you loved about it!It was so cool to be able to use the pool as an art piece while also staying consistent with our theme. We used big green balls that drifted over the water. It turned out exactly how I envisioned it, and I am pretty excited about that!
