I had the pleasure of going Gown Shopping with Laura – only a few of the brides I work with end up having me accompany them on all their vendor visits, as there is only one of me to go around! I do end up personally working with about 10 special brides a year who start with Bella Signature Design from start to finish and collaborate with us on the entire wedding from gown, invitations, venue, decor, etc. I love this process, and of course it’s much more fun than hearing it secondhand from one of my assistants! Laura was so fun during this process – listening to advice from her friends, but also being honest with herself about what she wanted. We went to several different boutiques that I recommend: La Belle Elaines, Marcella’s and La Votre (formerly the Bridal Garden). Christy from Junebug Weddings came along to capture photos of Laura trying on gowns at La Belle Elaine’s. You can even watch our visit to La Belle Elaines here, as the film crew was on hand to capture it!
Which gown do you like the best? And don’t we all want to know which gown she will end up with? (Psst – I just found out which one!)
You can watch our broadcasts and planning sessions with myself, Jasmine Star, Christy from Junebug Weddings and of course the bride, Laura here.
