Since launching in her home city of Los Angeles in 2015, designer Lauren Elaine‘s unique and fully customizable dresses have swiftly become a favorite among brides worldwide. Tailored for the ‘modern-day princess’ and all her variations, Lauren’s ethereal and glamorous gowns have earned top spots on the red carpet ‘best-dressed’ lists in the world’s leading fashion media.
From childhood, Lauren drew inspiration from a world of fairytales, a theme that seamlessly persists into the present. This inspiration fuels her desire to craft the ultimate fantasy gown for the pinnacle fashion moment in a woman’s life – her wedding. Guided by a passion for glistening fabrics, color, sensuality, languid silhouettes, voluminous layers, drama, and sculptural bows, her dresses are an ode to the female form. They drape across every curve with fluidity, feature open backs, and showcase special attention to the decorated and visually captivating neckline area.
We’ve put together our favorite gowns from Stardust and Marquee collections and some limited pieces that promise a statement bridal look.
The newest release from Zodiac-inspired Stardust Collection, Starlight is the culmination of constellations wrapped up into one supernova of a gown. Starlight is a dramatic, metallic tulle and foiled organza tiered ball gown with an expertly ruched corset bustier bodice and voluminous tiered skirt with customizable train length. The structure of the skirt, the bodice’s delicate ruching, and the optional bow watteau detailing definitely make a wow effect.
