Bijou Van Ness Bridal Show NYC 2011
Rehn Dudugkian of "Bijou Van Ness" packed up her Hats and showed them at the Bridal Show in NYC. Brides Magazine
Bridal Market Dispatch:
WEDDING DRESSES & STYLE
Bridal Market Dispatch:
New Accessories
THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2011
While the jewelry at bridal market veered toward big, bold, and extravagant, the accessories—hats, headpieces, and bags—proved to be more playful and coquettish. Soft pastels and feathery details were mixed in among more daring pieces, like hair combs with Lady Gaga-esque oversized bows and whimsical polka dot-covered hats. Some of my favorites included the superchic hats and hair accessories by Leah C. Millinery and Bijou Van Ness (pictured, top left and middle right); the romantic stylings of Jennifer Behr and Polly Edwards(pictured, top right and bottom left), and Sondra Roberts' glamorous pearl-encrusted clutch (pictured, bottom right).—Leigh Bond
