And another Chicago Bridal Market post. I saved the best one for now!

Last week, Mrs. Emerald and I got to attend the last day of the Chicago Bridal Market with Kate from Project Wedding. What a fun experience. Let me share some cool new trends and goodies we ran across.

The one strap was out in full effect.

Dresses are also really customizable. Check out Watters has created belts for their dresses. One dress can be made to look 3 different ways.

The 2 sections stay together using really tough Velcro. It’s pretty awesome! I also learned that Private Label G does quite a bit of customizing. So I highly recommend you discuss possible customizations with the store sales person and compare with the cost of a seamstress making changes. You might be surprised what is cheaper.

Mrs. Powder Puff also shared a Liz Field’s convertible with you in her Chicago Bridal Market post as well.

How awesome is that!?! Apparently, bustling could be a thing of the past.

What do you think of these trends?
