PARTY: Backstage at Belle Vie Bridal Couture’s Fashion Show with CS Brides
VENUE: The Waldorf Astoria | 11 E. Walton Street
DATE: Thurs, February 16, 2012
THE LURE: Want a backstage pass to one of the most decadent bridal shows in the city? G&F has you covered. Our favorite go-to bridal mag, CS Brides, pulled together a talented team—we’re talking the big dogs: The Waldorf Astoria, Event Creative, Fig Media, Elizabeth Grace & Dom Pérignon—to showcase Belle Vie Bridal Couture’s 2012 Bridal collections. And these are not gowns for the faint of heart: Lanvin, J. Mendel, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood sparkled down the runway. Amanda Bonnell of Belle Vie ushered us backstage where G&F photographer Caleb Condit captured playful models, backstage beauty and, of course, the drop-dead-gorgeous-we-are-still-dreaming-about-them gowns.
