HEATHER'S BRIDAL FASHION WEEK AWARDS!

Bridal Fashion Week always amazes me. Just when you ask yourself "how many more ways can you make a wedding gown different?" the designers create mind-blowing fashions! From using new materials and ideas, they create the newest trends…no wonder they are the ones who create that special dress to help make a woman's "once in a lifetime" dream come true! Designers are the fairy Godmothers to women all over the world!

It seems as though as much as I have my favorite designers, season to season different designers really shine through and grab my attention! Some of those who were a notch above the rest this season, for me, were Houghton, Theia, Aria, Reem Acra, Ramona Keveza, and Carol Hannah to name a few!

Since I loved SO many gowns and there are so many different fun themes a bride can play with now, I created tons of fun categorizes in a way to award these designers and their dresses! Enjoy!
