Martina Liana Separates Available at Lotus Bridal

We customized a similar style by combining a Martina Liana top and skirt. That’s right: these are two separate pieces put together to make one fabulous, cohesive look! Add on a belt to the skirt to accentuate the waist. This look is perfect for a more conservative and religious ceremony.

Ronda Rousey’s Wedding Dress was a Knock Out!

We apologize for the cheesy headline, but we are excited for fierce UFC fighter Ronda Rousey who just married long term boyfriend and fellow UFC fighter, Travis Browne. Rousey looked flawless in a Galia Lahav wedding dress and proved that strong really is sexy. She is always a master of balancing brawn and femininity, so it is no surprise to us that she seamlessly intertwined her high-fashion wedding dress into a theme that she described as a “backyard Mexican corona party.”

Now, only Ronda can claim the title of the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in Judo, but you can get her Gala Lahav inspired glam right here at Lotus Bridal for a fraction of the cost!

Dress Like a Middleton on Your Wedding Day!

On the off chance you haven’t had access to Wifi for two whole days…Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa, got married this weekend at St. Mark’s Church in Englefield, England! A big congratulations to her and the royal family! As expected, her wedding dress set new bridal goals for all of us. Her classically beautiful lace gown was  designed by Giles Deacon.

“I was thrilled to work with Pippa on her wedding dress,” Giles Deacon said, “The dress is constructed with a cap sleeve, high neckline and features a corseted bodice with draping to the front and a heart-shaped detail at the back.”

Let Lotus Bridal help you recreate this look so you can feel like royalty on your big day!

We chose a Le Papillon gown that mimics Pippa’s, not only by the lace overlay, but also in that it has a similar cap sleeve and a natural waistline. What is great about a natural waistline is that it accentuates the smallest part of your body helping you look and feel your thinnest. You can take this ensemble one step further by adding a petticoat under the gown to give you an Aline shape. Pair this dress with a cathedral veil and diamond headpiece and TAH DAH! You got the royal look!

Lotus Bridal has everything you need to complete your vision including accessories, shoes, veils, and bridal party dresses. Call today to schedule your appointment.

About Last Night…Fun at New York Weddings Event

New York Mag’s Wedding Event outdid themselves this year. The new location, 180 Maiden Lane, had an indoor park which included a green lawn where attendees could relax and enjoy the band. On the lawn, there were tons of yummy treats including macaroons, cake bites and ice cream. The ice cream was provided by 10Below, who actually made their product ON THE SPOT! They poured fresh cream on to a cold slab as you watched the cream freeze! It was so good that we got two! There were other amazing vendors including MilkBar, SharingBox, Beautini, and even dessert superstar Ron Ben-Isreal Cakes!

We were joined by a few of our favorite designers including Badgley Mishka and The Dessy Group. Badgley Misha had out their fabulous bridal shoes that we carry in store at both of our locations. The Dessy Group had out their new bridesmaids dresses that we know from experience bride’s absolutely love.

Overall, it was a great day filled with networking, snacking, and meeting new brides. We are already looking forward to next year!!
