JLM Couture Wedding Dress Designer: Hayley Paige

Hayley Paige embraces sweet femininity with a touch of edginess. Alluring contrasts are seen in pairings like twinkle and matte, giving each dress an unmistakable charisma that enhances the bride's own captivating charm. Balance is found in the union of textured details such as hand appliquéd lace and flutters of sheer fabric, evoking a feeling of whimsical refinement. And as a finishing touch each dress is named, bringing to life its unique spirit. These effortless, flirty feminine silhouettes all say one thing - something wonderful is about to happen.

Q: What is the inspiration behind Fall 2016 Collection?
A: Always in search of a great juxtaposition, this season is very much a Victorian aficionado wildly following the call of the disco ball. There are hints of baroque and dashes of iridescence, but the main foundation is offbeat beauty.

Q: Describe your new collection in one word?
A: Rhapsody

Q: What are the trends of the new bridal season?
A: Although we already spotted glimmers of this last season, I have feeling that versatility, long sleeves and shades of champagne are going to be in full effect this season.

Q: What are you most looking forward to at the upcoming market?
A: I am looking forward to transforming the vulnerability I had last season in sending my personal gowns down the runway into something long lastingly and celebratory. The pressure of being a bride is off and the appreciation of getting to be just the designer again is my euphoric "happily ever after."

Q: Which colors and fabrics are popular this season?
A: What I love most about where we are in space and time is that nothing is off limits. Brides are more willing to take a little fashion risk, and as a designer there is a pleasure principle in delivering something truly unique and fresh. Polychromatic florals and geometric burnouts have been sprouting up, and I couldn't love it more.

Q: Do you have a favorite silhouette in Fall 2016 Collection?
A: Nothing makes a girl want to twirl like a sumptuous ball gown.

JLM Couture Wedding Dress Designer: Lazaro

The Lazaro bridal gown collection is a creation of opulence with romanticism, and celebrates the strength and sensuality of brides in love. Luxurious encrusted beading, opulent shades of pastel color and fly by the night filmy fabrics, Lazaro brings a flirtatious femininity to his work. His spirited creations of exquisite fine laces, shimmering jeweled cut stones, and a lavish mix of striking bridal silhouettes are truly beguiling. Lazaro captures modern romance with a whimsical fantasy driven collection that celebrates couture wedding dress fashion.‹

Q: What is the inspiration behind Fall 2016 Collection?

JLM Couture Wedding Dress Designer: Alvina Valenta, Designer Jessica Williams

At Alvina Valenta, the designs are about ethereal romance, iconic elegance, and effortlessly luxe glamour. Wedding dresses that evoke a sense of magic and emotional connection through creative layers of lush silks, European laces, intricate embroideries and thoughtful details. Desinged by bridal gown designer Jessica Williams and hand-crafted and manufactured in New York City. Jessica Williams revels in creating bridal gowns that speak to brides' authentic selves, stories and dreams, that accentuate their feminine shapes, and essentially, that honor not only who the bride is now, but also who she is becoming as she officially joins her life together with her true love. To all of the romantic hearts, these wedding gowns are for you.

Q: What is the inspiration behind Fall 2016 Collection?
A: I like to think of the Alvina Valenta Fall 2016 Collection as, "In The Garden Of Mystery And Enchantment." I was thinking of a bride finding herself in a lush, overgrown, forgotten garden - a secret garden - full of free-flowing flowering vines and foliage, and in this garden, hidden pockets of magic reveal themselves to the one who ventures inward and looks beyond the surface.

Q: Describe your new collection in one word?
A: Romantic.

Q: What are the trends of the new bridal season?
A: When looking to trends, I strive to incorporate them into the collection in subtle ways that our brides will appreciate for being on trend, without being "trendy," because she wants to be able to look back on her wedding photos and feel timeless, as well as reflective of a certain time. This season, I referenced the ongoing illusion trend, as well as some of the ballerina inspired looks that have been trending on the ready to wear runways - so wearable and allowing for movement, poise and grace.

Q: What are you most looking forward to at the upcoming market?
A: I'm looking forward to seeing all of the amazing people who run and work in the bridal boutiques carrying our lines - it's always fun to reconnect and share my excitement for our new collections.

Q: Which colors and fabrics are popular this season?
A: I feel like color is still trending throughout the bridal world, and while I have a few gowns this season that expand upon all of the color I showed last season, this season I wanted to infuse the collection with a fresh, clean palette of silk whites, for the bride who wants to look like a bride on her wedding day. You will still see a few layered, warm tints, though - I really love playing with layers of color and fabric to create something unique, and couldn't resist throwing a few in there.

In fabrics, lace is always queen, and I've been exploring different ways to work with lace, including layering it, and creating embroideries that allude to a feeling of lace without being lace. Airy tulle is still going strong, but it has been shining for so long in the bridal world that I have to wonder if brides are starting to look for something slightly more structured to feel fresh and new.

Q: Do you have a favorite silhouette in Fall 2016 Collection?
A: I'm still really feeling romantic a-lines and ball gowns! And definitely loving straps and sleeve options of all sorts!
