Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like at bridal market?  Well: Lost voice, 4″ heels, back to back appointments, uptown, downtown, silk, ruffles, designers, Starbucks, and occasionally catching your breath.  That’s market in a nutshell.

This season, Kate, Jamie, Melissa, Hilary, and Justin were all able to attend the shows in New York.  It made for a lot of craziness, cabs, and coordination, but it was more fun than we could have planned.  We found serene moments and heart-pounding schedules.  Oh, and fantastic new gowns just begging to come to Utah.

Take a look:

Jamie’s face is priceless.  And I love the Picasso-esq layering of Kate and Melissa.
