The 2012 Wedding Party Event Recap | Part I

As I am sure you can imagine from all the amazing buzz leading up to the big day, the 2012 Wedding Party Event was absolutely wonderful, thanks to the collaborative energy of amazing vendors, fantastic brides, and of course, event hosts Claudia Hanlin of The Wedding Library and Martha Stewart Weddings...
Merci New York had the pleasure of not only exhibiting our bridal fashion styling services {more on that later}, but also walking the show at the New York Palace and interacting with all the wonderful goings-on as the event's Style Editor. While we compile oodles of event coverage, we thought you would love to take a peek at some of the photos from Jaine at Brklyn View Photography.

The 2012 Wedding Party Event was packed with so many amazing vendors, we would need a separate blog just to cover them all. But the above images represent some of the best of the best, including a fabulous new expansion of The Wedding Suite at Nordstrom {top images}, a launch 18 special Wedding Suites across the country. From exclusive made-to-order gowns, special-order bridesmaids lines, personal Laura Mercier beauty stylists and certified lingerie fitters, we're excited to peruse their many offerings {and see Nordstrom stake their claim to a piece of the bridal-style pie}!
