What could be more fun on a miserable Friday evening, than a quick peek at the amazing wedding dresses that are in store for us all next year? New York Bridal Fashion Week took place earlier this week and showcased the Fall 2013 bridal collections from the leading international bridal designers including Marchesa, Oscar De La Renta, Vera Wang, Monique L'Huillier and Temperley to name just a few. Next week we'll be bringing all the collections in full, but we thought you'd like a little sneak peeky of all the new trends, shapes and styles for wedding dresses in 2013.

There's floral prettiness from Claire Pettibone.

Luscious fabric embellishment at Lela Rose

Soft draping and dramatic lace at Marchesa

Beautiful embroidery and beading from Badgley Mischka

Typical feminine floatiness over at Temperley

Assymetric interest and embellishment at  Oscar De La Renta.

And just in time for The Designer Wedding show next weekend at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, where One Fab Day are sponsoring the catwalk show. 3 times each on Saturday and Sunday we will be showcasing the most beautiful wedding gowns from top designers and some of the best bridal boutiques in the country - Myrtle Ivory, The Suite, The Courtyard to name a few...
