the ultimate bridal event



I joined 100 ladies and brides-to-be for a lovely afternoon at The Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel for their Ultimate Bridal Event today. It was sponsored by American Express and featured the latest bridal fashions from Vera Wang and a trends discussion led by Christopher Aldama.

Sadly I am not a fan of most of the designs we saw as I feel Ms. Wang has taken the greek goddess inspiration a little too seriously. That said, I must say that some of the fabrics were absolutely amazing.

To briefly summarize the trends discussion, Christopher really emphasized the importance of making your event your own. Even if that means serving hot dogs along side haute cuisine - the rules are there to be broken, push the envelope and have fun with it.

Sadly there wasn't much to photograph, but I managed to get these few images to share with you... enjoy.
