The gowns were incredible, though, as was feeling like someone actually important when I met some of the beautiful ladies from Project Wedding who seemed to genuinely care who I was. I wrote a whole long post about the trends I noticed that went up on Weddingbee, so I won't rehash the whole thing here, just give you a quick 'n dirty summary:
1. Lace or ruffles and bling on the same dress
2. Tulle used in unexpected ways
3. Corsets, corsets, corsets!
4. Highly detailed gowns
5. Lots of dropped waists
6. Floral detailing
7. The influence of bygone eras
8. The fairytale motif
9. Very dramatic trumpets
10. Accessory trend: headband bling!
I adored the collection because it was right up my alley, fabulous beading and trumpet silhouettes and all. I'll share pictures of a couple of my favorites:

Love the incredibly fit and flare shape and the fabulous beaded bodice of that one. Definitely my favorite of the day.

I wasn't really a lace kinda gal in my planning, but I adore it on other brides. And I think it's really unique to incorporate bling on these dresses, too.

And this just is just to-die-for in its romanticism.
I was also super excited to note that blingy bridal headbands are definitely still in again for 2010, since I've really gotten into making them for the Etsy shop lately. See?

I don't think this piece would have looked at all out of place at the St. Pucchi show:
Maybe that's why I loved the show so much? Or maybe it's because it just felt awesome to be doing one of those I-would-never-get-to-do-something-like-this-if-I-didn't-live-in-New-York things? Either way, I was tickled.
