Here’s to remembering a beautiful beachfront wedding on this cold Chicago day! Carlee & Dan looked absolutely fabulous as they enjoyed their fun, beach-themed wedding in Cancun. Here’s a look back…

Every girl dreams of her wedding dress and what it’s going to look like…but a chance to meet the designer of the dress you wore…that’s priceless. I was honored to be invited to the Bella Bianca, Gold Coast, Lazaro trunk show last night.

I purchased my Lazaro dress from Bella Bianca in 2009, for my May 2010 wedding. (Yes ladies, you must give yourselves at least 6 months of lead time when ordering a wedding gown!)

I was wooed by the Alençon lace and the silk petals that floated down the back of the strapless, sheath gown. The wedding day came and went so fast, you really have only about (give or take) 12 hours with your gown. Now it’s preserved and sitting in a box in my closet. I often gaze at photos from the wedding remembering this classic, lace beauty!

So when I was invited to this event, I jumped at the opportunity! Who wouldn’t want to sip on champagne among gorgeous couture gowns, while mingling with friends…and, uh, Lazaro!?
I just had to meet him and get him to sign a photo of my dress! I couldn’t wait to chat with him and thank him for designing my perfect dress!
And of course, snap a few pics! 😉
Now it’s hanging next to my closet so I can look at it every day!
Left there feeling inspired and elevated! Such a fun night and awesome opportunity!
