This month, we are thrilled to introduce you to our Designer of the Month, Tara Lauren – a Los Angeles-based bridal brand that epitomizes the spirit of the modern bride. With a dedication to effortless style and a deep appreciation for individuality, Tara Lauren's creations weave a tapestry of romance, luxury, and creativity.

A Legacy of Passion and Creativity

Tara Lauren is more than a brand; it's a labor of love fueled by a family's passion for bridal fashion. Co-founders and sisters, Tara and Shaina Healy, trace their roots back to their mother, whose journey began as a young seamstress. Her love for sewing blossomed into a thriving bridal shop, where she crafted wedding dresses for friends, sisters, and countless brides. Growing up in this haven of tulle, lace, and dreams, Tara and Shaina developed a deep love for bridal fashion that would ultimately shape their destinies.

Tara's journey led her to the prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, where she specialized in evening wear and special occasions. Guided by top designers in the industry, she refined her craft, transforming her artistic vision into reality. Shaina, on the other hand, honed her fashion-styling skills under the mentorship of celebrity stylist Julie Matos, gaining insights that would later complement Tara's design brilliance.

Designs Inspired by California's Heartbeat

The sun-soaked landscapes of California serve as a wellspring of inspiration for Tara Lauren's captivating designs. The free-spirited, laid-back Californian essence finds its way into each gown, resulting in sultry, light, and dance-friendly silhouettes that capture the essence of modern romance. The Healy sisters personally curate dreamy unique lace, airy silk crepe de chine, and delicate embroidery details, infusing their creations with a distinctive bohème luxe style that radiates confidence and allure.

Crafting Dreams with Texture and Dimension

At the heart of Tara Lauren's designs lies a commitment to texture and dimension. Each gown is an artistic composition of fabrics that bring the dress to life. The sisters' meticulous approach to fabric layering creates an ethereal depth that sets their gowns apart. Bold lace paired with softer Chantilly, colored tulle adding a touch of dimension, and sparkling tulle reflecting light – these are the elements that define a Tara Lauren gown. 3D lace textures and floral appliqués add a touch of femininity and romance, creating gowns that are both elegant and effortlessly romantic.

Capturing Hearts, One Gown at a Time

Tara Lauren's designs are not just dresses; they are a celebration of love stories. For the Healy sisters, the joy lies not only in crafting gowns but also in the interactions with their brides. Every time a bride chooses a Tara Lauren gown for her special day, it's an honor that resonates deeply. These gowns are a manifestation of the dreams, hopes, and emotions that culminate in a wedding day. Tara and Shaina cherish the moments when brides reach out to share their happiness and beauty experienced in their creations.
