Be the bride on NY Fashion Night Out

With all the excitement of fashion week, there are several shops that have not forgotten about the bride and groom. Who did you ask? Well I’m here to tell you. I’ve gone through the list of designers & retailers and these are in the wedding (specialty) category. While I could write about each and every retailer, I’ve just noted a few that may have you thinking about your wedding in a different way. Again, every shop you go to tonight, will be offering you the opportunity to share in a ‘special discount’, gift with purchase or a little goodie just for you.

Realistically, attending every event is impossible, however I offer this suggestion. Remember bring engaged is ‘supposed’ to be a good time. I didn’t say always easy, stress-free or always fun. Let’s be honest about it. What I am suggesting is that, this list offers you options that you may not have thought of. Of course tonight has the ‘added benefit’ of a portion of your purchases going to a great cause the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, but these retailers would love to see you anytime.

ASPREY – Will be showcasing Vogue’s very own top wedding registry gift ideas BULGARI - Have you thought about a unique and meaningful wedding ring? Bulgari’s Save the Children ring and pendant.
