The Lauren Dress: A Casablanca Customized Story
Casablanca Bride Lauren visited our authorized retail partner White Lace & Promises in Knoxville, Tennessee. She writes of her dress buying journey ΓÇ£I had a very unique experience because I really didnΓÇÖt have the ΓÇÿoh my goshΓÇÖ moment until the dress was put together completely. I tried on Style 1918 and immediately fell in love with the design. I knew I really wanted a long sleeve dress because I was getting married in December and just loved the long sleeve look. We referenced Style 2079 to add the neckline shape and sleeves, and Style 2195 for the way I wanted the back of the dress to look. I put all my trust into Casablanca, knowing it was going to turn out perfect. When it came in a few months later is when I really had that moment of ΓÇÿthis is it!ΓÇÖΓÇ¥
The gown ended up being the absolute perfect design to wear for a Winter Wonderland themed wedding, which is exactly what happened on December 10th, 2016, when Lauren married her best friend Clint. From their initial bond formed working next to each other at Disneyland, through their move together to Nashville, the coupleΓÇÖs relationship had many milestones leading up to their December wedding. We love the joy that is written all over their faces in the gorgeous wedding photos that they shared with us!
If you find yourself in the middle of dress shopping and just feel like no dress encompasses every exact detail that you are looking for, we encourage you to ask your store associate about our Casablanca Customized possibilities. Our elite stores are Casablanca Certified, meaning they have undergone training to be experts in how to customize dresses successfully. Look for the pink lapel pin on their uniform, or ask if theyΓÇÖve passed their Certified Consultant test. For minimal costs, they can easily help you change train lengths, add sleeves, redesign the back of the gown and endless other options.
