Couture Wedding Gowns Designed by High School Students
We were recently honored to be a part of the judging panel for the fifth annual bridal gown design competition from New York City’s High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI) in partnership with Kleinfeld Bridal. These amazingly talented students, all from the junior class, created gorgeous gowns showcasing their creativity and design skills.

Tip of the Day: "Set parameters for your bridesmaids! So many brides these days want their 'maids to be happy, which is great. However, that can sometimes translate into saying, 'Just pick whatever you want,' and having too many choices can make the process harder for them. Also, the bride may have preferences she isn't even aware of until she sees what her friends have picked, and then the backtracking and hurt feelings creep in," say the pros at Joanna August.
They recommend letting your bridesmaids choose their top three styles and colors, or rank their favorites in order out of a pre-selection you have made. That way, everyone gets a say, but the bride ultimately cobbles together the exact look and combinations she wants.

Tip of the Day: "It's important not to view wedding planning as a chore. Focus on what parts you know that you'll love and let the professionals handle the tasks that you aren't looking forward to as much," says Antonia Christianson from Antonia Christianson Events.
For example, if the thought of designing your reception look doesn't appeal to you, she recommends sharing some "must-have details" and inspiration colors with an awesome planner or floral designer and letting them lead the way! Or if finding the perfect gown seems like a daunting task, enlist the help of loved ones and make it a fun girls weekend.

Tip of the Day: When you’re hiring wedding vendors, don't decide who to pick based on the prices of their wedding packages alone. Very important elements of your wedding will be in their hands, so also take into account their experience level and how they make you feel.
Also, for wedding vendors who will be interacting with your guests, like photographers, videographers, and entertainers, factor in how personable they are and the vibe that they give off. When you ask friends for recommendations of wedding pros they hired, ask if that expert was nice, listened to them, and interacted well with their guests. It's those intangibles that can add up to an even better wedding experience for everyone.
