Part 2: Wedding Dress & Personals

New York City’s bridal boutiques are filled with rack upon rack of beautiful fashions by luxury designers from all over the world. Hunting for a wedding dress is exciting and fun – at first. Even the most seasoned shopper can become overwhelmed by the abundance of choices. When asked about her experience, Lauren replies, “Yikes… this was a long process. I tried on more dresses than I care to admit.” Her quest led to Wedding Atelier on Madison Avenue. There, Lauren had encountered a problem of a different kind. “I ended up loving every dress I tried on!” she exclaims. Ultimately, it was a gown by Israeli designer Netta BenShabu that won her heart. “When I put on that dress, I finally knew my search was over.”

Lauren’s breathtaking choice combined a trumpet silhouette with delicate off the shoulder sleeves. Feminine and romantic with a touch of glamour, the eye-catching design featured a floral adorned chiffon overlay embellished with sparkling crystal accents cascading from top to bottom. Keeping her accessories simple, she wore silver Rebecca Minkoff heels and graceful drop earrings.

“At first, I didn’t think I would really care about my bouquet,” Lauren says. “Then Rachel showed me some pictures of what she had done before and I absolutely loved the idea of incorporating a succulent.” Finishing her wedding day look, Lauren carried a soft colored bouquet composed of garden and quicksand roses, lisianthus, and ranunculus complemented by lush succulents and silver dollar and spiral eucalyptus.

Dressing his part, Lou sported a black tuxedo by Enzo Custom. He accessorized with cufflinks engraved with sweet messages from his future wife.
