Lorien Bridal Boutique

Did you know you could request a themed appointment here at Lorien? Just tell us that you would like to have a themed appointment when you are setting up your appointment and you’ll be sent a list of preplanned themes (Disney, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Doctor Who, a few others), but if there’s something specific you have in mind, talk to us about it! Not only will your stylist dress up, music and decor will be curated for your theme! ... Know someone who is going to have an appointment at Lorien and want to surprise them with a theme? Call us! We love surprising our brides! PS - We always encourage coming to the shop in cosplay, so feel free to dress up any way you’d like! Let’s have fun!

Congratulations to this wonderful human who picked up her bridal gown yesterday!! Dayeanne was officially the first bride to say yes to her dress at Lorien back in July and today she picked up her dream dress that fit so well! Yay for minimal alterations! This is why we have such intensive size discussions when you order a gown with us. ... Daye offered, about a month after ordering her gown, to model for us in our very first big photoshoot, and these photos are the result. Our beautiful little mermaid bride. Thanks so much for being so fun to work with, Daye, and I am so honored to call you a Lorien Bride.

When you love the Doctor, it’s like loving the stars themselves. You don’t expect a sunset to admire you back. How was your Doctor Who Day? We spent it running around with River and the Doctor, hence why this post is late in the day ... If you could take the TARDIS anywhere, and bring your fiance and all your guests, where, in all of time and space, would you go to have your wedding?! Model : Erica Ochoa (River Song) Model : Emily Christiansen (Doctor) : Monica Duarte Gowns : Coretta (River) & Ryland (Doctor) by Maggie Sottero Designs Happy 57th Birthday, Doctor Who.

Witchy woman, she got the moon in her eye. It’s Friday the 13th! ... Feeling witchy?? We are! With this stunning, strapless, lace, sheath gown from WTOO you’ll be casting a spell on everyone. Is that a cape?! It’s actually an extended train that attaches to the waist of the gown. Did we think it worked better as a cape? Yes. Could you change that train into a cape with your seamstress? Absolutely. Have a magical, lucky day, everyone! Gown: Cressida by Wtoo by Watters Model: Marielena Borrego : Monica Duarte Earrings: Shop Bruhjeria Check out Marielena’s Etsy page! https://www.etsy.com/shop/bruhjeria/ Her earrings are adorable!!

We’re simply meant to be. Happy Halloween, everyone!! Gaze upon our Pumpkin King, ... a wonderful, delightful thing, who wandered into Halloween Town in the aptly named Burton gown Have a delightful time this Halloween, while staying away from COVID nineteen, hoarding candy as you stay at home, or donning a mask if you decide to roam.

I am Loki of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious purpose. It’s Mischief Night! Did you call October 30th Mischief Night growing up? Do people still call it that? Well, we’re going with it.... Here’s one of our gorgeous black gowns that we thought would be perfect for the God of Mischief. Create some harmless mischief for fun, but please stay safe and wear a mask if wandering about this Mischief Night/Halloween.

We’ve decorated the shop with props for a reason! Just ask if you’d like to take some photos with one! ... Thanks to Hope for helping me make this ridiculous little video and congratulations on saying yes to your dress this weekend! I have so much fun with all my brides, but Hope and I found out that we both love the Lord Of The Rings Musical (which even many die-hard Tolkien fans don’t know about, so this was amazing) and sang this song together while trying on dresses. I can’t think of a better way to find your bridal gown Gown: Tuscany Lane by Maggie Sottero Designs
