We’re so thrilled to feature our Strut Bride, Sara, her husband, and their stunning San Diego catamaran wedding! Sara began her bridal journey at our Arizona bridal store, where she shopped with senior stylist Sema’J to find the perfect fitted lace wedding gown. After falling in love with her wedding dress, she returned with friends and family to share the excitement and reveal her choice.

Sara’s bridal gown journey didn’t stop there! During alterations with one of our talented seamstresses, Sara opted to remove the train of her wedding gown. The lace from the wedding dress train was beautifully repurposed and added to the skirt, creating a unique, custom look!

Fast forward to June 2024, and Sara was glowing aboard a catamaran in San Diego, surrounded by the ocean, her loved ones, and a love story straight out of a romance movie.

Sara’s fitted lace and tulle wedding dress with side illusion panels was absolutely breathtaking. The fitted silhouette highlighted and complimented her figure beautifully, while the intricate lace detailing brought a romantic charm to the look. The detachable off-the-shoulder design and delicate straps added a soft, whimsical feel – talk about coastal chic! From her walk down the aisle to her first dance, Sara was the very definition of classy and confident.

What makes Sara’s journey even more special is how she approached her wedding dress shopping experience. She came to her original appointment solo—a bold and empowering decision that showcases her confidence and independence. With Sema’Js expert guidance, Sara found a stunning lace gown that made her feel stunning and completely herself for her San Diego catamaran wedding.
Congratulations to the newlyweds, we couldn’t be more honored to have been included in your big day!
