A Citrus Filled Geometric Event

FRUITFUL is the word! We are blessed to be featured on The Perfect Palette on this modern styled shoot featuring bold and geometric flare. Perfect The Event and the team created a gorgeous setting with our sleeveless asymmetrical lace dress – Bel, simply a great fit for a contemporary and vibrant atmosphere. Loving the bold color palette using shades of deep burnt orange, kelly green, and neutral grey. Every detail was impeccable at this industrial loft style venue, 1912, at Downtown Santa Ana. Team Lumière Couture Bridal had a fantastic time working with the many amazing vendors!

Scenic Dana Point Wedding

It was a joy working with Tiffany on her reception dress for her wedding. From selecting the color swatch complementing her sun kissed skin tone, to finalizing the fitting of her gown, she did it all with her sweet smile. She grew to love her Lumière gown so much that she included the dress in her engagement photo shoot attire!    

Lumière made me a Chinese style evening gown (cross between qipao and western style evening gown) for my wedding and it was stunning. I got so many compliments and it looks so amazing in pictures! I was happy I had this dress at my wedding because it was way more soft and comfortable than my white wedding dress ;) Since everything is custom made, you get to pick out your style/cut and fabric so you can mix and match to your hearts desire. Queenie is such a sweetheart and she was a pleasure to work with. I'm in love with my dress and now I need more excuses to wear it...I'd definitely recommend getting a dress made by Lumière if you want to look fancy at your wedding!

We are so happy for Tiffany and Harold for the new journey together as husband and wife! Congratulations to the newlywed!

Love Eventually

What a busy and beautiful Pop-up Showroom on Sunday! We had a great time collaborating with the creative team at DoubleTree Monrovia-Pasadena Area Open House Event. They put together a great presentation of fashion, flower, decor, & food for couples to visualize how gorgeous their love-filled wedding day can be. It's certainly a cozy yet contemporary option of event venue.

Bride-to-bes enjoyed their intimate fitting session at our pool-side showroom on a sunny afternoon. The very moment they fell in love with our hand-crafted gown, seeing the smile on their faces was simply priceless.

Many were fortunate getting a sneak peek of our one-of-a-kind Fall collection that is scheduled to come out later this Summer. If you are looking for a unique dress that makes you stand out on your special day, come try on our private designer collection on April 11 at Hotel Irvine. It will be an afternoon filled with fashion, jewelry, & style.

Showcasing Love...

Looking back on this past month seems like a dream. Valentine's Day, bridal show, Lunar New Year, and our very own Pop-up Showroom. We had so much fun getting to launch our Spring collection from design partner Ranee_K at our February pop-up event, and showcasing the hand-crafted oriental gowns & unique bridal accessories. We enjoyed getting to meet the stylish brides in the process, and chat about how to turn a romantic vision into a wedding reality. It took hardworking and gifted hands to make the pop-up showroom as beautiful as it was. Thank you to everyone that came out to meet with us.

With the gorgeous details on the gowns like delicate sleeves, ruffled elements, trains, lace, mandarin collar, and more, our modern brides enjoyed the afternoon selecting stylish dress for their 2015 wedding. Not to mention the beautiful jewelry from Chloe + Isabel on display that complements the look of elegance.

Special thanks to the printmaking artist Tiffany Kuo for making an appearance. Her design of love & wedding greeting cards sure was popular. But what we love the most was the matching pillow case set that we became so obsessed with! They absolutely made perfect bridal shower gift!

We hope you had the chance to come out and celebrate with us. If you missed it, you can stop by our upcoming Pop-up Showroom on March 29 & April 11. Come check out a curated assortment of modern qipao, cheongsam, headpieces, & jewelry. One-on-one fittings with a Lumière stylist will be offered by appointment.

All About Love...

February – It is the season of LOVE and we are beyond excited about it!

We started Lumière – A Curation of Love, simply because of our passion to celebrate —
the love for style
the love of East meets West
the love to embrace culture with a dose of modernity
the love between 2 souls

This week, we congratulate our very first Lumière Bride, Janelle, on her engagement anniversary. The surprise Valentines proposal was vividly remembered not just by the couples themselves, but by thousands of family and friends, as it was broadcasted live on TV. Janelle thought she was to enjoy breakfast with a friend - until her then boyfriend, Stan, walked in with the KTLA/5 morning news crew. He brought out a guitar and started serenading her as the cameras rolled. Lights shining on the couple as Janelle tried to grasp what was going on. With Southern California watching on live TV, Stan got down on one knee and popped the question.

Fast forward to the wedding, we were fortunate to witness the love-filled day of this sweet couple. With the presence of dear friends and family, the sentimental moments constantly gave us teary eyes through out the day. It's not about over-the-top centerpiece nor lavish wedding cake. It was the genuine loving emotion coming from the couples and their family that touched the hearts of 500+ guests. The couple defined what a wedding truly means.

Janelle selected one of our red lace Qipao as her evening gown for the reception. She looked absolutely stunning in the open back flared hem dress with glittering beading. The simple silhouette of this gown allowed her to feel comfortable roaming around greeting her guests.

"The dresses in this collection are top notch, elegant, and make you feel beautiful on your wedding day! Working with Lumière was one of the best experiences during my wedding planning process. They made finding my evening dress completely stress free! If you're a bride, don't second guess getting one of these dresses. You will NOT regret it!"
~ Janelle
