"gowns that define how a bride wants to look on her wedding day"..
In the last couple of weeks, we were fortunate enough to have been introduced to the Reem Acra 2013 Bridal Gown collection not just once but twice!
Our first sneak preview took place at New York's fashion week when Lorna Paterson from Blush Bridal was once again on hand with her trusty iPhone to capture some of the excitement for us. Read the first, enthusiastic, behind the scenes report and click the pics for full galleries.
Gowns by Reem Acra are unequivocally exquisite, and this season presented a royal vision of old world elegance. Fall 2013 was refined perfection! With her signature devotion to luxurious fabrics and textures, we saw a mirage of ornate beadwork, regal embroidery and sophisticated lace. To say that these gowns shimmer as they move is an understatement of epic proportions. The effect is captivating and truly glorious!! From grand ball gowns to sultry mermaids and slinky sheaths, from full lace sleeves and high collars to illusion necklines and plunging v's, from artful draping to delicate embroidery and dazzling sparkle, Reem Acra's Fall 2013 bridal collection is fit for princesses today, tomorrow and yesterday!
A second more up close viewing of the collection came only a week after New York when Blush Bridal unveiled the fabulous creations at their new Reem Acra "store-in-store" concept at an exlusive trunk show in West Vancouver BC. Our good friends from Nirvana Photo & Video (Vancouver) covered the event for BRIDE.ca and even took the time to intrerview, both Blush as well as Reem Acra's own NY specialist on hand. Fantastic work - THANK YOU!
Up close, the gowns are even more luxurious and beautiful. In the following interview, Ashley Child from Blush hails Reem Acra's designs as "delicate glamour", "old Hollywood romance with a touch of sexy".
Melissa Kasoff, Reem Acra's representative from New York, brought with her many of the gowns for the sneak preview that demonstrate how their "luxurious feel, wonderful fit and signature cap sleeves" make Reem Acra's bridal gowns stand outs in the bridal gown world.
