New store: Lovely Bride

Readers often ask me where to go wedding-dress shopping in New York, and, until now, I never quite knew where to send them. (I found my dress at J. Crew.)

But now I have the perfect recommendation: Lovely Bride opened this month in the West Village, and it's absolutely amazing. The shop carries a beautifully curated mix of hard-to-find designers, including Sarah Seven (an etsy favorite), Elizabeth Dye (the darling of the blog world) and Samuelle (remember this dress?), as well as the stunning French line Delphine Manivet. I'm totally thrilled about this new boutique!

Gorgeous, though I think my friends would keel over if they saw me in that. I'm more of a dungarees gal, like your friend:)

What a beautiful site with beautiful dresses! Too bad I'm already married! But I fell in love with my dress the moment I laid eyes on it.. and I wasn't even dress shopping yet!

P.S. Shame on the snobby boutique!

amynicole said...

that dress [and model] are stunning! sometimes i just wish i could stay in my wedding dress all day long. it is unfair we only get to wear them for a day or maybe two if you're lucky! which designer did the dress shown above?

amy said...

Gorgeous! We'll have to refer our NYC brides to this lovely little boutique.
It's remarkable that in 2010 it's so challenging to find a pretty, timeless, simple dress. Honestly!

taryn said...

sounds amazing! i'll have to go there on my next NY visit! ;)

Laura Downs said...

I wish I could go to New York just to go wedding dress shopping. And you have Kleinfelds too!
Alas, I can only watch from a distance via "Say Yes to the Dress" lol

I love Sarah Seven's dresses so much!

Kaylen said...

Oh my GOSH! Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing - I am off to explore the website and get all lusty now :)

Pretty Little World said...

I saw this site the other day, and while it's lovely, I do wish that they offered online shopping. For those of us who don't live in/near New York, it would be a nice option.

I am really excited the Delphine Manivet is soon going to offer online shopping from her own website though! Her dresses are positively my favorite!

mnemonique said...

she is lovely. girlish, fresh and sweet.

Christina said...

the dresses are beautiful!!! i just got engaged a few weeks ago and am on the hunt for an ice blue wedding dress! yay wedding things!!!

ErinL said...

I have an appt to go here this weekend...all the way from Virginia! I'm looking for a headpiece, and they sell Ban.Do and Twigs & Honey! Can't wait to check it out.

Exchange Server Support Miami said...

wow, talk about striking. both the dress and the model.

http://smartypantalons.blogspot.com/ said...

I bought my wedding dress at J. Crew too! Back in 1996.

Diana Mieczan said...

I love those dresses too!!! Just last week I wrote a post on my blog about those beautiful gowns...I just adore the pearl detailing and the sophisticated flow which every dress has! They must feel amazing. Don’t you think?
Greetngs:))))))

elizm said...

it would be so nice if you didn't post pics of models that look like emaciated 15-yr olds, particularly as brides. let's get some real people! and although this is not a "nice" comment, as you request, i read your site often and feel like this kind of criticism is more than valid.

heylee brooke said...

this is a great little store! you always have great wedding suggestions.

you just can't go wrong with j.crew though. :)

bussbuss said...

so pretty they almost make me want to get divorced just so i can get married again (to the same hubs, of course)!

did you hear vera wang's doing a more affordable line for david's bridal? coming out next spring?
http://bussbuss.com/wp/2010/04/21/fab-collab-vera-wang-davids-bridal-say-i-do/

brides are getting luckier and luckier. i was low-maintenance and got a non-wedding dress at a west village boutique. of course, their dry cleaners ruined it 3 days before our wedding (oops), so it was lucky i found the same one at lord & taylor!

ninniemuggins said...

Their website is so, well, lovely!

Colleen said...

Well, isn't this amazing?! I love Sarah Seven and Elizabeth Dye. Too perfect. Thanks for sharing the news! xo

Thanks for the tip! I recently decided to change after dinner into a dancing reception dress (my dress is super fragile and I don't think it could handle my oft violent dance moves) and have been coming up with zilch in my usual spots!
