New York Bridal Show – Pier 94

It seems like its always wedding season for celebrities. This weekend Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are getting married in Italy. You may not have a celebrity budget but we wanted to share our bridal tips from this past week’s New York Bridal show.

We discovered Leila Hafzi a bridal designer from Norway. The designer is focused on ethical treatment of women. Leila business is a platform for this message as she provides work for tailors and seamstresses in Nepal. You may have seen Leila’s designs during the Cannes Film festival worn by Journalist Linn Ullman, wore 5 different gowns designed by Leila.

According to Bridal industry insiders the trend this year is back to tradition. You will see more lace and less skin than seasons past. For more images from the show visit our facebook page.
