Martha Stewart Weddings Fall Bridal Market Party 2016

Everyone loves a fall wedding!

Hundreds of guests joined us to celebrate our Martha Stewart Weddings Bridal Market Party in New York City. Bridal Market is a bi-annual event showcasing the very best in weddings, including fashion, beauty, themes, and trends. It provides inspirations for brides and their families, magazine editors, buyers, and other industry professionals.

Last week, Martha Stewart Weddings hosted its party at the Hudson Mercantile - three floors plus the roof. Hudson Mercantile offers centrally located, clean, modern, white spaces in the Hudson Yards district of Manhattan. This year’s theme was "light up the night" with Martha Stewart Weddings. Some of the vendors who collaborated with our weddings team included Ark Catering, Bentley Meeker Lighting and Staging, Inc., Elan Artists Entertainment, Rentquest, and of course, Hudson Mercantile. It was a wonderful opportunity for guests to meet, share ideas and discuss business specialties. Enjoy our photos.
