What makes Bridal Market worth showing up for, year after year?
In this solo episode of Idea to I Do, host Selina Howard reflects on her journey through New York Bridal Market, beginning with her first experience in 2012.
She explores how Bridal Market has evolved, the importance of building meaningful industry relationships, the challenges of access and visibility, and why consistency matters when establishing yourself in the wedding industry.
Drawing on her experiences as a bridal stylist and creative director, Selina shares her perspective on what happens beyond the runway, the value of being present, and what emerging bridal professionals should understand about navigating the industry.
