“For my bridal dress, it was important to me that the style fit with the overall wedding aesthetic,” Lauren says. Monique Lhuillier’s Marcella dress checked all the boxes, with its ethereal layers of tulle, silver and white sequin-studded under layer and off-the-shoulder silhouette. “I’m all about shoulders, so with the help of the alterations expert at Ultimate Bride, we amended the straps to be draped around my arms. Game changer—we also made them detachable, which allowed me to get down on the dance floor later that evening,” Lauren says.
