Bridal Market 2010 - Alisa Benay

October 19th, 2010 @ 2:28 pm by Mrs. Penguin

I hopped over to Pier 94 yesterday to visit with designer Alisa Benay and check out her newest collection! Alisa’s dresses are all made in luxe fabrics with surprisingly affordable price points. My favorite thing about Alisa is that each year she designs a pink-hued dress and donates a portion of the sales of that particular dress to breast cancer research. If you or a loved one has been affected by breast cancer, this would make a huge supportive statement to wear Alisa’s Camille gown at your wedding!

The color is an understated pink. It’s so stunning in person!

Alisa Benay put a few of my favorite dresses on her model for me to snap pics of. This first one is perfect for a romantic, carefree bride:

This lace stunner retails for around $2K. All lace dresses at that price point are practically unheard of…stunning!

I JUST got married (like 2 weeks ago) but I LOVE this designer and the collection is AMAZING! Wish I had known about her while I was dress shopping! I DO love my dress though!

Since when is $2k an affordable price point!?

oh wow! such lovely designs and for such reasonable prices!! there is still a lot of development needed on the marketing end for this like, though, because in practically every photo the model is either posing badly or the dress looks ill-fitting, but there’s a lot of potential!

Ugh, the last picture is what I wanted the back of my dress to look at–serious dress envy over here!

@Gibraltar: yes 2k is a little steep, but these seem like amazing couture designer gowns, and 2k is very reasonable for what you’re getting, basically a one of a kind gown!

I LOVE the one with the criss-cross back.

I would be pumped to photograph a wedding with any one of those gowns-they are amazing! I will say that big poofy gowns with lots of toole are actually really fun to photograph, even though they’re not really my style.

I am in love with the first white dress, but I can’t seem to find it anyother place besides here? I checked her website and blog…anyone have any idea where I might be able to find this dress?
TIA!

Thank you Mrs. Penguin! I just might have to push the wedding back even more in order to get my hands on that beauty! I love it!
Thanks again!
