Love Story: A Stardust Bride and Her Dramatic Lazaro Gown

You have to know much we adore a good love story here at Stardust Celebrations! And between our three bridal salons and our wedding planning clients, we get to hear a lot of them! Usually they are between a bride and her groom, but this one is between a bride and her gown!

Fashion forward bride Taylor made an appointment during our Lazaro Trunk Show last January. Designer Lazaro Perez himself attended the trunk show and created a beautiful keepsake sketch on the spot for each bride who said “yes!” to one of his dresses during the show.

During her appointment, one of the first gowns Taylor tried on was the stunning Lazaro 3167 – a gorgeous champagne shredded net bridal gown, featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline, beaded and embroidered elongated bodice, embroidered shredded net skirt and cathedral train. Here are a few thoughts from our fabulous bridal stylist Liz, who was assisting Taylor that fateful day:

“That gown took everyone’s breath away when Taylor entered the room. Taylor’s eyes were filled such excitement I thought she was going to flee in the gown right there and then.”

Here are a few photos taken from the amazing experience. There is no doubt that she had found the gown that she would wear to say “I do!”

Taylor, her mother and her two sisters really made an impression on Mr. Perez. While he was creating 8.5x11” sketches for brides that weekend, he felt compelled to create a “Texas-sized” sketch for Taylor. Her family hid the portrait from her until her wedding day, when they unveiled it to a joyfully tearful Taylor.

We cannot add any more to this story. You simply must see the photos to appreciate the love: http://www.jlmcouture.com/jlm-weddings/michael-and-taylor/real-bride-lazaro-sketch

October Means Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

Just a little reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Inspired by the symbolic pink ribbon, we've put together this lovely inspiration board in support of this incredibly important cause. If you're struggling to land on a color palette, why not consider a beautiful shade of pink as your starting point?! Ranging from soft hues, which can be sweet and romantic, to hotter shades, which bring energy and vivaciousness to your event, pink can be a great element of your wedding day color scheme. Enjoy the pinkaliciousness and remember to take care of your health - the best protection is early detection! Visit NBCAM.org to learn more.
