We are so excited to feature our gorgeous Strut Bride, Marlaena! Marlaena shopped our Tempe, AZ store in January of 2018! She came to us after having shopped other bridal salons in search of the perfect ballgown wedding dress for her nuptials in California. She only tried on a few wedding dresses before she decided on her favorite! Check out Marlaena’s timeless plus size lace wedding gown with pockets!


Marlaena’s timeless plus size lace wedding gown with pockets featured a beautiful corded lace over a layer of sequins for the perfect amount of sparkle. Her wedding dress also featured a flattering strapless pleated bodice. Her skirt featured inverted box pleats to give it a gorgeous fullness without being heavy.

Here’s a fabulous close-up of all the beautiful details in Marlaena’s plus size lace wedding gown with pockets!

Marlaena wore her lace ballgown wedding gown with pockets in antique blush, but it is available in an array of colors, including ivory for the more traditional bride. It’s part of our Custom Collection, so you can change the lace (now available in four lace styles), lace color, lining color, and even add three different kinds of sparkle for a totally custom plus size wedding dress! Find the Custom Collection in our Long Beach, CA and Arizona bridal boutiques.

We’re loving the shades of purple in those bouquets! We’d like to give a big shout out to Megan Helm Photography for these stunning pictures!


We can’t get over how cute this cork board seating chart is!


Marlaena’s timeless plus size wedding gown with pockets features a lace up back. It also included covered buttons that trailed all the way down her skirt, giving her the best of both worlds!


Marlaena and Chris tied the knot in September of 2018! We’d like to congratulate the beautiful couple and wish them all the happiness in the world. We would also like to thank Marlaena for letting us be such a special part of such an important day.
