Life is a Story. Make yours a fairytale with Designer Lauren Elaine.
Cheers! It’s that time of year for parties and entertaining friends and family. I’m not exactly the eggnog type, so I’m always looking to branch out of the traditional holiday cocktail fare with something unexpected. Gin is my favorite winter spirit (it’s usually distilled with juniper berries- i.e. pine tree smells and tastes!), so recently
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Fall is here, and to celebrate, I’ve channeled my inner Martha Stewart and gone all out with a pumpkin and gourd tablescape to last through Thanksgiving, and I’ve also partnered with Heritage Distilling and created my go-to cocktail of the season with their amazing Brown Sugar Bourbon–
Rosé all day. Cliché? Maybe. Summertime motto? Most definitely. Originally the wine of choice for aristocrats and royalty, blushing Rosé pairs perfectly with summer parties, summer weddings, and even wedding gowns( it’s color and namesake flower inspired our newest “Rosabelle” gown!) So this year, in the effort to narrow down some of my favorite Rosés out
Skincare is an obsession of mine. I’m a sucker for potions in pretty bottles, and I worship a good mask –but only if they actually work! And while walking down a red carpet may not be as important as walking down the aisle – I still always want to look my best, and without the
10 years ago, I fell madly in love with my best friend. I also fell in love with Fashion…and together, we embarked on one crazy adventure. And what a journey it’s been. To celebrate our 10 years in love and fashion, I’m sharing this special episode of ‘Once Upon a Seam.’ It’s a look back
Over the past couple years, my husband’s discovered a passion (and hidden talent!) for cooking. Much like design, cooking is another creative outlet. He loves putting together special menus and pairings for holiday meals and celebrations –and since we moved into our new home, I’ve become relatively obsessed with creating unique tablscapes to compliment the
Nothing in the world compares to being in Love. And nothing makes me happier than celebrating that Love. I’m grateful to get to celebrate Love on a daily basis, and be a part of each bride’s love story as they plan their wedding. It’s an honor and a pleasure, and in February, it hits even
When it comes to weddings, nothing puts a stamp on your wedding style and overall reception vibe better than a unique tablescape. One of the most carefully crafted and curated elements of a wedding, table decor sets the mood and feel for your reception, and creates a special atmosphere to compliment the meal being served.
Prepare for lift off. 2018 is almost here! Designing wedding gowns, I don’t play with color quite as often as I’d like. Usually, my love of bold hues comes out when I photograph gowns – from candy-colored skies to rainbow lens flares – or in our Style House decor (I have this thing with Gladiolas.)
‘Tis the season to deck the halls! And this year, we’re celebrating our first Christmas in a new home, with a new puppy, and hosting family and friends for the Holidays — so I’ve gone all out! We’ve been living in a construction war zone since moving into Castle Vista earlier this year and tackling
