Jamie Chung's Bridal Fashion Week Diary

"I started off the day taking a long stroll from our apartment in FIDI to 'Russ & Daughters' for some coffee and bagels," she says.

"I decided to wear a skirt and a graphic rose printed top (both from Cameo the Label) because the gorgeous weather called for it. Spring is finally here!"

"Monique was kind enough to give me a private sneak peak into her Spring 2015 Bridal collection. When I arrived, her talented team were still putting on the final touches for the big show; altering gowns for the models, hand painting crystals, sewing beads and embellishments onto delicate silk tulle. She showed me the blue prints and staging for her show, walked me through her collection, and explained each dress in detail."

"This is what happens when you walk into a showroom and every dress you see, you fall in love with! I turned to Monique and before I could even say anything, she said 'don't worry, we've got plenty of time to figure it out.'"

"I honestly don't know what I want for my wedding dress. Again, this is all so new to me. I've never looked at wedding dresses until today. I do have an idea for what I thought I wanted, which was a trumpet silhouette with a long train made of a light, yet full material (doesn't make any sense right?). And now I'm even more confused!"

"I love Monique. We had met backstage a couple of months before her Spring 2015 fashion show," says Chung. "I love her because she took the time to have real conversations with each of her guests before being whisked away to start her show. What amazed me was that she was able to stay so calm and so kind to everyone around her."

"Growing up I was the tomboy, playing sports and getting dirty. I never day dreamed about my 'big day,' nor did I every want to be the princess," dishes Chung. "It wasn't until this very moment, standing in Monique's showroom, I realized I DO want to be the princess in a fairy tale wedding...This is really happening!"

"I took a step back to look at the collection as a whole and as time slowed I found myself in a glorious cloud of silk, satin, tulle and crystals. This must be what heaven looks like!"

"It was such an honor to see her collection in person before it goes down the runway. There's a surprise. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything. But I will give you a hint. There will be beautiful colors coming down the runway, which will make you question whether or not you'll want to wear white on your wedding day."

The second day, Jamie and InStyle met for an early breakfast before heading to the Marchesa show together. Her choice? "A croissant, fruit and loads of coffee!"

"I have this amazing black and white caged skirt from Elizabeth and James that I wanted to rock," she says of her ensemble. "I'm also trying to wear more color, so I went with a bold red blazer by Reese and Riley."

After fueling up with breakfast, off to the Marchesa Spring 2015 Bridal Show we went!

"Mind the bumps!," she says of doing her makeup en route. "Quick touch up before heading into the show. Thank goodness for iPhones."

Chung accessorized her look with a bold red lip and a sophisticated ponytail.

Inside the elegant venue, Chung awaits the show to begin. That fabulous tank top she's wearing? Cameo and Label, the same designer as yesterday's skirt and graphic rose printed top.

"I got to sit with Georgina parents and Harvey Weinstein!" says Jamie. I chatted about my show 'Believe' and he had mentioned being good friends with Alfonso Cuaron (director/creator of our show), and said that he would check it out! I was floored."

Chung takes in all the embroidery and detailing of the beautiful dresses at Marchesa.

"I'm really loving the colored dresses," says Jamie on trends that surprised her from Bridal Fashion Week. "I thought I wanted a white dress but now I'm considering a bit of color!"
