Bella Bridesmaid at the NYC Bridal Market

Allison Long of Bella Bridesmaid of Charleston shared a few highlights from their recent NYC Bridal Market trip.

Jenny-woo Two-birds "What an exciting and very busy two days in New York. Lots of one-shoulders, soft colors and soft fabrics were seen along with updated versions of the tried and true classics that never fail the bride and her bridesmaids.

Met with Jenny Yoo, (gown at left) twobirds, (gown at right) Coren Moore, Amsale, Melissa Sweet/Priscilla of Boston/Vineyard Collection, and Simple Silhouettes. We were able to view their new collections and place orders for new samples that will be arriving between now and the first of the year. I actually received three new samples from Coren Moore today. I can't wait for all of them to arrive."

This quaint and inviting King Street boutique offers a refreshing departure from the usual bridesmaid experience: fresh, sassy and chic designer dresses in an intimate, upscale and approachable setting.
