Lea-Ann Belter comes to Lovely NYC! Make your appointment here before all open spots are gone! Check out this style post too for one of Lea-Ann’s gowns called “Mathia.” It’s a different take on such a classic style. Enjoy lovelies and see you at the trunk show!
As the summer months are approaching, and Memorial Day is right around the next corner, I thought BBQ-ing with some friends either in your own backyard, on the beach or in the park sound AH-MAZ-ING. But of course you need all the proper aspects of a perfect BBQ. Summer drinks, like these red bandana tied mason jars full of a sweet mojito and topped with red and white striped straws are definitely a conversation starter…in more ways than one. Good food, good conversation, and don’t forget the lighting! Bonfires to roast your marshmallows for s’mores, or just being surrounded by citronella candles hanging from the trees above you is just perfect. So here’s to having a smashingly good BBQ and let us know how it went!
3. Cater your next BBQ but make sure you get a must-have checkered tablecloth.
4. Flowered centerpieces will give a focal point and bring about a “pretty” atmosphere.
5. Kabobs! Need I say more?
6. Bonfire it up, or DIY these awesome wine bottle tiki torches!
Theia “890044″ has just arrived in our Lovely LA store and boy is she a beauty! This fitted gown is so soft with it’s all over lace and scalloped eyelash edges. A simple train and ribbon tied in a bow for the waist is absolutely perfect for someone who’s wedding is outdoors this Spring. I’ve added some “umph” to this little lady with my favorite colors this season. Emerald and pale pinks really compliment each other well and add that slight bit of tantalizing luster to your overall theme.

When I look at Cindy & Hal’s wedding pictures done by Sweet Little Photographs, I can’t help but wish I had been there! Everyone looks so happy and genuinely having the best time. Fun, fun, party in the sun in Palm Springs at the Ace Hotel and the dress of course is a stunner! Cindy wore and found her dress “Elsa” by Watters here at Lovely LA and we are just smitten that we were able to help her find “The One” here. Now of course, “The One” is more profound as her now husband, Hal, and what a cutie! Congrats to Cindy & Hal and this new adventure they take together!
Now a few words from the bride herself…
Tell us about THE dress and what inspired your look.
I fell in love with this dress the first time I put it on. It was everything I wanted. When I imagined what I wanted my wedding dress to be I wanted a classy somewhat vintage look with lace and a fun, sexy back. I knew I was getting married in Palm Springs, so I wanted something comfortable and lightweight. I tried on a ton of dresses in every style imaginable but something changed when I put this one on at Lovely, everything just came together and I knew it was THE dress. I also started tearing up and got really giddy.
What were the most important details to pulling off your dream wedding?
It was all about location and finding the right venue for us. We wanted everything to happen in the same place: the ceremony, reception and where our guests stay. We also didn’t want the night be cut short by an early curfew. The ACE hotel in Palm Springs provided all of that. Most of our family and friends stayed at the hotel with us so it felt like we were surrounded by our loved ones and had a non-stop party the whole weekend!
What was the most memorable moment?
There were so many amazing moments but there are two that really stand out. Reciting our vows to each other during the ceremony and having all of our loved ones in tears around us. Then at the end of the night once the music stopped I starting running and jumped into the pool with my wedding dress on and then having everyone at the wedding jump into the pool, most of them with all of their clothes on!
If you could give future brides any advice, what would it be?
Try not to stress out. It all works out in the end and everything comes together even when you think it might not. And when it comes to the day, really stop and look around and take it all in. Like everyone says it does go by so fast so just enjoy every second, take time to have moments with your bridesmaids and most importantly your groom and have the time of your life!
