The Knot Announces Bridal Fashion Week Coverage

5 Live shows, Brand-New Vlogging, and More

Sponsored by Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Knot (NASDAQ: KNOT; www.theknot.com), the leading online wedding resource, announces the Bridal Fashion Week lineup. This year, The Knot will broadcast live from an unprecedented four runway shows, feature brand-new editor vlogs -- video blogs -- updated in real time, showcase more than 600 runway photos, stream a half-hour live recap special, and much more. The newly opened Viceroy Anguilla Resort & Residences has signed on as the exclusive corporate sponsor for all Bridal Fashion Week related coverage on TheKnot.com.

The Knot will double the amount of live coverage from last season as it broadcasts straight from the runways of world-renowned designers, including Monique Lhuillier, Badgley Mischka, Jenny Packham, and Claire Pettibone.

The Knot Editor in Chief, Carley Roney, along with her team of wedding and fashion editors, will be on-site broadcasting live before the shows, providing unedited commentary and behind-the-scenes excitement, followed by the debut of the designer’s new collection. This event will bring all the glitz and glamour of the runway directly to brides in real time.

Kicking off Saturday, October 17, at 11 a.m. ET on TheKnot.com, Claire Pettibone presents her Spring 2010 Bridal Collection from NYC hot spot Buddakan in the heart of the trendy Meatpacking District. Carley will be interviewing Claire beforehand, and getting a sneak peek at the hair and makeup trends which will be hitting her runway.

Tune in again to TheKnot.com for instant front-row access to the following shows:

• Saturday, October 17, at 5 p.m. ET -- Jenny Packham -- Before her latest looks hit the runway, Carley and her team will chat with Jenny about her latest celebrity bride, Jaime Pressly, complete with sketches and photos of her gown!
• Sunday, October 18, at 11 a.m. ET -- Monique Lhuillier -- Carley and her team bring you along to one of the most anticipated events of the entire week! Last season, this celebrity favorite incorporated peacock feathers into her bridal collection -- what will she think of next?
