We'll admit it, we love fashion. I'm sure it wasn't much of a secret to begin with, but at least we're clear. So we fell in love with about a thousand of the styles shown last week on the runways in New York. The problem is, not many of us on the Luxe team (okay, none of us) actually have the budget for a $10,000 sheath dress - even if it is hand sewn by Jason Wu himself.
The great thing about getting married is that you get to splurge - really really splurge on an amazing dress. So for all you brides and brides-to-be out there, here are a few of our favorite looks and trends from the Spring 2013 showings of New York Fashion week - plus some of the gorgeous bridal looks they inspire.
Go Soft
Iconic designer Calvin Klein's models sauntered down the runway in sultry, soft silhouettes cut from barely-there shades.

Make a Statement
Nobody does gowns like Oscar de la Renta, and this dramatic lace and taffeta number makes a bold statement. Classic wedding dress designer
Monique Lhuillier matches his vision in a beautiful white ballgown to ensure that all eyes are riveted to you on your wedding day.

Visions of White
Okay, we'll admit it - we couldn't find a bridal gown that even came close to this gorgeous piece. So we're just going to post it, and hope that some day it shows up in white. Or ivory. Or champagne. Or, well, pretty much anything in our budget.
