Merci New York in Martha Stewart Weddings Fall 2010 Issue

We are thrilled to announce that Merci New York has made it to the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine! Can you see me? Yes, that's right... I'm the awe-inspired blond in the far left corner, swooning over the luscious dresses sweeping down the runway. Each one was more gorgeous than the last, truly.Last month, Merci New York was thrilled to sit in on a runway-inspired fashion editorial that is now gracing the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings' {amazing} Fall 2010 Fashion Issue. The spread is packed with pages upon pages of luxe and stylish eye candy. From ethereal gowns {think Oscar de la Renta, Angel Sanchez, Carolina Herrera...} to elegant baubles {Harry Winston, Van Cleef and Arpels...} and every accessory in between {Christian Louboutin...}, it was truly a fashion-loving bride's dream -- and a wonderful afternoon for myself and fellow wedding bloggers Bee Kim of Wedding Bee and Jillian Clark of 100 Layer Cake.
Also sharing the fruits of the MSW styling team's impeccable eye were industry style-luminaries Sylvia Weinstock, Mark Ingram, Ronnie Rothstein, Gabriella Risatti, and of course, Martha Stewart Weddings Editorial Director, Darcy Miller.... whom you can also see sitting around the front row of the stunning Ukrainian Institute, {which actually happens to be a tres-chic wedding locale for the uptown bride}.
The historic Upper East Side mansion was actually a private home until 1955, and has played host to several posh events and iconic films in the past 50 years. It's beautiful architecture and dramatic moldings made me feel swept up and dropped down in the reels of Valentino: The Last Emperor. It was a phenomenal setting. But I digress. Let's talk fashion. Suffice it to say, my behind-the scenes i-Phone shots couldn't hold a candle to these gorgeous images... so you will just have to take my word on the pure scope of this project.
As Sherri Caudell Brennan, MSW's Fashion Editor, swirled past endless racks of taffeta, lace and silk, and escorted me to her accessories pulls, my heart almost sank. Tables upon tables of stunning shoes anxiously awaited their five seconds of fame, including some very sparkly favorites by Giuseppe Zanotti, ribbony peep-toes by Badgely Mischka, and ever-chic Christian Louboutin pumps.
Be-ribboned belts? Plush boleros? Blinding rings worthy for the likes of Tinsley Mortimer? Check, check and check! The back rooms were stocked with so many beautiful pieces, I wasn't sure how Sherry, Kate Berry and Daniel Biasatti could even select their looks. Their choices were remarkable though, and the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings proves it.
Anyways, here I am waxing poetic, when you can actually experience this beautiful fashion editorial for yourself... The Martha Stewart Weddings Fall 2010 Fashion Issue hit newsstands this week, and I've already spied a few lucky brides perusing the pages at Hudson News at Grand Central Terminal.
While they were probably {ie, most certainly} ogling over this spread, these are a few of the other articles they may have missed their train by reading:

• The Shape of Things to Come: The New Look of Flowers- Centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres and more.
• Works of Art: The culinary arts meet the visual arts in museum-worthy wedding cakes
• Sealed With a Kiss: Creative ways to work love's sweetest and most iconic expressions into your day
• La Dolce Vita: Lake Como, Italy, sets the scene for a New York City couple's lavish affair.

Chic wedding-reading at its finest, as always.

A very special thank-you to the Martha Stewart Weddings team for having me on board.
