Just ahead of New York Bridal Fashion Week, Manolo Blahnik opened the doors of its Madison Avenue flagship boutique for an intimate evening celebrating bridal style. The cocktail event was hosted by Alexandra Macon of Over The Moon, Meredith Stoecklein of LEIN, and Jessica Sailer Van Lith alongside Christina Caldwell, bringing together a well-heeled mix of editors, creatives, and friends of the brands. Style icons like Candace Bushnell, Ashley Avignone, Jennifer Behr, Gabrielle Hurwitz, Sarah Lyon, Shelby Wax, and Mimi Crawford, among others were in attendance.
Guests enjoyed Wilde Irish Gin cocktails and Avaline wines while mingling among soft, seasonal florals by Noble Diaz. Throughout the boutique, models wore the LEIN for Over The Moon capsule collection, styled with La Pietra jewelry and Manolo Blahnik shoes, offering a modern and effortlessly chic take on bridal dressing.
Personalized touches were woven into the evening, including on-site shoe engraving by PS Calligraphy, where guests could customize pairs with meaningful details. The “Something Blue Bar” added an interactive element, featuring a curated assortment of bridal essentials and gifts—from fragrances and nail polish to monogrammed accessories and keepsakes.
