Puerta de Europa Bridal Show - Madrid

The other day I was with a friend of mine who was looking for a wedding dress. It made me think that with it being June, having a few posts dedicated to wedding dresses might be a nice idea. Although this post only has one image, scroll down to see more dresses from Barcelona's Bridal Fashion Week.

This dress has a simplistic elegance that I love. Model Martina Klein appeared at the "Puerta de Europa" Bridal Show in Madrid for Spanish designer Jose Luis Novias. I love the green sash that adorns this dress. This is definitely a beautiful dress to where during a destination wedding. You can definitely play it up with beautiful hair accessories.

Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week III

Jesus Peiro's dress hit the runway. I do love the layers and I like how he paired the dress with a charm necklace. In some ways this dress reminds me a slight gothic flair - interesting.





Hannibal Laguna's dress is like a floating dream and I love it. I would love to get actual footage to see how this dress flows as you walk and turn. It almost seems like there is a ruffling or "lettuce effect" on the edges of the fabric. I like the bodice as well. The dress is definitely something that you would notice if you wre in a showroom looking at all of your options.





Rosa Clara presents a wedding gown that I wasn't sure about until I saw how there is a jewel that ties most of the dress into the lacy portion that wraps around the neck. Yet another interesting concept.

Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week II

More models hit the runway during Barcelong Bridal Fashion Week. It's interesting to see dresses that were apart of this show. Many were definitely ready to walk down the aisle while others would be perfect for other events.



Karolina Kurkova struts down the runway in a Patricia Avendado dress. I would wear this to an amazing benefit in South Beach - it doesn't scream wedding to me at all but I love the shimmer and the use of white and lilac. I love the high slut as well and even the floral effect is perfect.





This dress from Ruben Perlotti takes a blend of something old with something new. I like how the crea, color is almost like a sash swirling around the dress. The dream life presence of this dress is perfect for a bride on her wedding day.





Matilde Cano has an amazing dress that has textured fabric that makes anyone the primary focus when this is worn. You could wear this on the red carpet, at an exclusive event in South Beach or St Tropez. I love the color and how it's vibrant before you even make your first step!





Joanquim Verdu shows that that simplicity has its place as well. I love the grecian inspired look to this dress with the mauve colored ribbon. I would love to wear this if I were getting married at a beach or within a garden.





Victorio & Lucchino has a simplistic dress that is full of glam. I'm not a fan of wearing gloves but this fits with this dress. I have to say that I have gone from loving the ball gowns to liking items that shape the body. But it's nice to see how each designer presents one of the most important dresses you're bound to wear.

Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week I

Barcelona definitely showed a variety of options for brides. During their Bridal Fashion Week, dresses representing all styles hit the runway. Within the 3 posts, you'll be able to find fabulous ideas that will work for your event.





The Model Novias collection at Barcelona Fashion Week on June 1st, hit the runway. The dress above reminds me of a dress that is from Gone With the Wind. I love that it has a great ball gown effect.





I love the feather/floral detaling on this dress. I think a wedding is about all the details. My favorite part of the dress is the straps. The lace details are absolutely amazing and I love the silhouette of this dress.





This dress was also apart of the Bridal Fashion Week. I must say that I don't see this as a wedding dress; however, I love the print and think that this could be amazing for a party or a red carpet event. I also love that it's belted - cute!





I belive that the belt on this dress is the same one that is on the dress above. I love the feathering on this belt. Most importantly, I love the tiered effect of this dress as well. I like taking something traditional and putting a twist on it.





This is another dress that appeared on the runway during the Bridal Fashion Week. I love the dress although I don't see it being apart of a wedding. I think this would be a great item to wear to a cocktail event or high end party. I love the hue, print and the bottom of the dress.

Bells Ringing in A Distance

I love the holidays, it allows you to relax a little more and to catch up with friends and family. At the same time, it makes you think of fabulous things that you want to bring into the Spring. One of my very good friends is getting married which is exciting and I am hoping to help her plan a fabulous Spring Wedding and to do a little blogging about it within a new blog that will be officially launched during the spring! Although the focus of the blog is about resorts and the nightlife and day to day activities that surrounds it - a wedding in this locale begs to be shared on here as well! I have never planned a wedding; however, I have started compiling some resources and being an Internet person, I found a great site, Party Pop that lets you have a little less stress by being able to get items such as cards, souvenirs and more! Even if you opt to get all your necessities on a variety of sites or in physical stores, it's nice to start seeing your options in a relaxing environment to begin setting your parameters, prices and more. Party Pop seemed to be a great place to start especially since I am only helping as a planner. Even if you're not planning a wedding, it's also a great site for any occasion that you might be interested in celebrating - it could be a Margarita party among a few friends as you showcase your own line in a mini fashion show - check out the site and pass it on to friends that may need a little assistance.
