My Fab NYC Night Out @ MS Weddings 15th Anniversary Celebration

I am obsessed with all things weddings just as much as I am about fashion. I started The Bridal Wishlist so that I could have a place to put all of the beautiful wedding-related things that I was coming across. After several years of hard work, perserverance, and dedication to finding the most beautiful things around, The Bridal Wishlist is number 15 out of over 500 wedding blogs. I am very proud. The Bridal Wishlist was the spring board for The Capitol Fashionista. The Capitol Fashionista grew out of my love for fashion and I needed to post things that were not right for my bridal audience. So we are celebrating our third year anniversary. Hooray for us!

The one thing that I totally love about wedding blogs is that the wedding industry has a great deal of respect for us. They see us as a legitimate part of the industry and have come to realize what power we have in getting the word out and shaping a bride's opinion which will eventually shape her wedding choices. I hope and pray that the fashion industry will catch on.

So I was invited to the 15th Anniversary of Martha Stewart's Weddings Magazine on Monday night. I was flabbergasted and very honored. Of course, in true fashionista style, I started to obsess about what I was going to wear!!! So I took the train up on Monday afternoon, checked into my hotel, tried to eat something to calm the jitters and pulled it together to get showered/dressed.

What a night!!! The Plaza Hotel is one of the most magnificent hotels in the world. Simply spectacular. After the sign-in table, there was table with a raffle sign-up, a guest book to leave Martha and company a little note about how the magazine has inspired you, and the lovely pipe cleaner lady. She made engagement rings for people out of pipe cleaners. I was too impatient to wait.



These banners lined the hallway. They are all of the covers over the past fifteen years. I was getting way giddy at this point. When you turned the corner, there was a photo shoot going on where you could take your picture on a Weddings magazine cover. I need to scan my pic and post it. Will do later.



This is the fabulous and amazing Darcy Miller, Editor of MS Weddings. She was telling the story about how she was asked to run the magazine. She was saying that she didn't have a clue about weddings. The deal was that if she was unhappy, she could go back to Living magazine. Needless to say, that never happened. Thank goodness. She has made an incredible impact on the way women plan their weddings. {Pictured below: Darcy Miller and Amsale Aberra; Darcy Miller with Sylvia Weinstock; Darcy Miller and Preston Bailey}

These are just random pics of the night. I couldn't get a good picture of the food tables because they were packed pretty much all night.






These containers of the Blushing Bride, the Golden Groom and the Ginger Lemon Drop (my personal fav) were all around. The band was really good. They had folks dancing like it was club night!




The highlight of my night was meeting and taking a picture with Randy Fenoli, Kleinfeld's Fashion Director. You will know him as the man who will surely find your perfect wedding dress on TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress." I love him!! He was so nice. When he saw me pointing my camera at him, he stopped mid-sentence to give me permission to take his photograph. Then he asked someone to take my camera and take his picture with me. Love him!



These are pics of me and some of the lovely wedding blogger friends, including Anne from Perfect Bound and Kelly from Santa Barbara Chic.



Of course, the fashionista in me was checking the room for fab dresses. There were plenty of folks that missed the memo about THE PLAZA HOTEL!!!! Ladies, respect the venue, please. I could not believe that some folks had on jeans. Seriously, I was annoyed. There were plenty of fab dresses (including my fab Oasis dress if I must say so myself). I decided to pick the best dress of the night and this was it. There were some fab runners-up, but for me this was the most amazing dress. I thought it was a vintage dress, but it wasn't. It was the amazing design of Stephen Nato of Fancy. You guys know that I LOVE vintage anything. So this was definitely the dress of the night. Bellissimo, Stephen! What a night to remember.

Martha Stewart Weddings Celebrates 15th Anniversary and Provides Winter Brides Bevy of Offerings to Plan Their Big Day

- Martha
Stewart Weddings to Launch First Ever National Online Luxury Wedding Expo on
November 14


- Martha Stewart
Weddings first special Destination Weddings issue to hit newsstands November 9


NEW YORK, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia, Inc. today announced that Martha Stewart Weddings, the
best-selling weddings magazine on newsstands, will launch the first ever
national digital Luxury Wedding Expo, an online destination where women across
the country can have access to the latest bridal information and learn more
about wedding planning and trends. In addition, the company announced that
on November 9, Martha Stewart Weddings will publish Martha
Stewart’s Destination Weddings & Dream Honeymoons
, the
magazine’s first special issue on destination weddings and honeymoons.


On November 14, the Martha Stewart Luxury Wedding Expo kicks off
online with a live two-day event where brides will be able to browse the
digital booths of leading bridal vendors and interact directly with vendor
representatives, Martha Stewart Weddings editors and bridal experts. Brides
will be inspired as they learn planning tips, creative cost-cutting ideas,
fashion advice and more.  The expo, which is taking registrations at http://www.luxuryweddingexpo.com/,
is open from November 14 until February 28, 2010, allowing brides anywhere to
access inspiring ideas, resources and information when they need it as they
plan for their big day.      


Amy Wilkins, SVP Publisher, Martha Stewart Weddings stated:
“Our digital expo, which features 29 advertisers in bridal fashion, fine
jewelry, registry, travel and more, is the first of its kind. It also reflects
the trail-blazing spirit that distinguishes our brand, which appeals to the
bride who places a high premium on quality and who is always looking for fresh
ideas that allow her to put her unique stamp on every aspect of her special
day.”


Commenting on the special Weddings travel issue, Ms.
Wilkins added: “Destination weddings are a growing trend. Those who
envision a distant setting for their nuptials will find the perfect guide in
our special issue, which is the bride’s passport to the destination
wedding and honeymoon of her dreams.”


The first ever Martha Stewart’s Destination Weddings
& Dream Honeymoons
will share insider tips and beautiful, creative
ideas on how to throw a destination wedding with panache and on a budget. From
choosing the right location to inspiring ideas to personalize their nuptials,
the special issue will provide brides access to everything they need to plan
their destination wedding. On newsstands November 9, the issue comes at a time
when destination weddings are on the upswing. According to recent research from
Martha Stewart Weddings and The Futures Company (formerly Yankelovich),
31% of brides ages 21-30 are planning to have a destination wedding; previous
studies indicated that destination weddings represented 10% to 20% of all
weddings.


“We are thrilled to be celebrating Martha Stewart
Weddings’
Crystal Anniversary and proud to be providing the most inspiring
ideas, the best products and the most trustworthy resources to help brides
realize the wedding of their dreams,” said Darcy Miller, Martha
Stewart Weddings
Editorial Director.


The online expo and special issue coincide with the 15th
Anniversary of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. The magazine is the
cornerstone of MSLO’s Weddings franchise. The franchise also encompasses
extensive online content on www.marthastewartweddings.com,
including wedding planning tools and local vendor search powered by
WeddingWire, blogs featuring MSW expert editors, and robust, exclusive content
such as a D.I.Y. weddings center and off-the-runway wedding gown collections,
as well as video-on-demand, television specials and radio programming on Martha
Stewart Living Radio on Sirius Channel 112 and XM Channel 157. This past year,
MSLO announced plans to introduce destination wedding packages with Sandals and
Beaches Resorts and partnered with Crane & Co. to develop stationery
products including personalized wedding invitation suites. In addition, the
Martha Stewart Collection exclusively at Macy’s, which ranges from linens
and kitchenware to fine china with Wedgwood, is the No. 1 brand on Macy’s
bridal registry. In 2008, MSLO took an equity stake in pingg.com, an online
invitation and planning company. The company also offers weddings-related books
such as Weddings by Martha Stewart and Martha Stewart’s Wedding Cakes.

This event will bring all the glitz and glamour of the runway directly to brides in real time.


Kicking off Saturday, October 17, at 11 a.m. ET on TheKnot.com, Claire Pettibone
presents her Spring 2010 Bridal Collection from NYC hot spot Buddakan in the
heart of the trendy Meatpacking District. Carley will be interviewing Claire

and photos of her gown!


·        
Sunday, October 18, at 11 a.m. ET -- Monique Lhuillier --
Carley and her team bring you along to one of the most anticipated events of

know what might happen, so be sure to tune in to
TheKnot.com/fashion.


And as if that’s not enough, video crews from The Knot will be taping at dozens of shows, which you can watch at your convenience on The Knot TV on Demand (TheKnot.com/tv).
