Spree Style with Erin Habes: Finally a bridal show worth Pinning!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the lovely creators of the Boutique.Bridal.Party have gone above and beyond to make sure that the new Buffalo bride is picture perfect. Last Thursday marked the first installment of this annual bridal show, held at Hotel Lafayette. Founders Ali Eagen of Made by Anatomy and Erica Eichelkraut of City Lights Studio Photography had a meeting of the minds months ago after asking themselves why Buffalo doesn't offer a bridal event showcasing local wedding artisans. Being “make it happen” ladies, they didn’t sweep this question under the rug or look for others to take it on. Instead, they built it.

Spree Style: Buffalo Hates You, Too. Thanks, Vice.

With everything from colorful printed maxi dresses paired with knee-high boots, to oversized one-of-a-kind sweaters draped over vibrant printed tunics and pants, this designer shows us how to keep it light and fresh while remaining cozy in the chilly months of winter. No stranger to cold weather (she is from Buffalo,...
