Last week was Bridal Market Week in New York and while from Australia we had to make do with pictures, what brilliant pictures they were! I can’t possibly share all of the gowns that I loved, but here are more than a few (I have no doubt it will keep me going on what has become couture Mondays for quite a while!)

There was so much beautiful texture in the gowns this year- ruffles and layers and feathers, oh my! (and who was that person that predicted the return of gloves?)

The Brides Twitter feed is a great way of catching the sneak peeks of the collections (you can check that out here) and the Martha Stewart Weddings blog has a ton of great pictures as well here.
