NEW AUTUMNAL PHOTOSHOOT
It's officially the season of Pumpkin spice, hayrides and most of all berry tones! Here at L'ezu, we love October, and we thought the best way to showcase some of our new collection was through this lovely fall photoshoot. We've included a few pieces from our new line of separates!

LINDA + WILL
We've just received these gorgeous shots from our L'ezu bride, Linda's April wedding. This was one of the loveliest, most detail oriented weddings we've ever taken part in. From the place cards to the lovely floral headpieces, we're especially grateful that their wonderful photographer has shared all of the originals with us! Congratulations to our beautiful bride Linda and her husband Will!

FEATURE ON WEDDING SHOP STORIES
We are so proud to announce that L'ezu was a chosen feature on Wedding Shop Stories, an online wedding blog that outlines small business success stories. Our very own co-founder and lead designer, Patricia Nevil, gave a fabulous interview.
Here's a small excerpt:
Q: What do you like most about your business? What part of it is the most fulfilling?
A: The fact that I come to a playground! Always making something new and meeting new people!
Q: What advice would you like to give to people who wish to start a bridal boutique?
A: Being in the bridal industry is a passion more than a business, you need to be compassionate, assertive, flexible and most of all a good listener.
Q: What advice would you like to give to brides who walk into your boutique?
A: Enjoy the visit, and learn as much as you can about the fitting of a well made garment.

BEHIND THE SCENES- A L'EZU PHOTOSHOOT
Our web designer and social media manager, Andrea, got a chance to photograph behind the scenes at our last Follies photoshoot. Now that the gorgeous pictures are released, we thought we'd show a different perspective on the bridal fashion industry.

L'EZU FOLLIES PHOTOSHOOT
Over the winter, we had a surprise follies themed photoshoot with the incredibly talented Carlos Maldonado. Our social media director got behind the scenes but first we thought we'd share the beautiful result!

ELISA + KENNY
We may sound like a broken record, but we can't help but gush over our L'ezu bride Elisa's beautiful bohemian wedding. We aren't the only ones who feel this way, as she was featured on the cover of January's 'Destination, I Do" magazine! We are so thrilled to be included in this editorial but mostly proud that we could help create the dress that captured Elisa's imagination! Check out her story below along with the links to her wonderful vendors.

CARLY + ALEX
Our lovely bride Carly had one of our favorite weddings of all time. An artist and designer herself, she worked with us at L'ezu to create her unique, stunning gown. She also handpicked the florals at the flower district and her vision created this magical wedding that has left us awestruck. We can't help but brag and show you these gorgeous pictures!

L'EZU AND LADY GAGA
We couldn't be more thrilled to announce our collaboration with Head Costume Designer, Lou Eyrich on the costuming for American Horror Story: Hotel. Moreover, we were ecstatic to be given the opportunity to complete Lady Gaga's bridal look in the most recently aired episode. Our collaborator Stephanie Browne of Australia created the gorgeous headpiece worn by Lady Gaga (pictured below). We are so grateful to Lou for thinking of L'ezu when looking for bridal wear on the many successful TV show she has worked on. Keep on the lookout for more L'ezu designs in future episodes!

RIA + ALLEN WEDDING
We were struck by the simplistic beauty of Ria and Allen’s special day. The understated dress we made for Ria was just the right touch for her courthouse ceremony but also shone beautifully at her lovely reception. Congratulations Ria and Allen! You were a pleasure to work with!

MELISSA + EDWARD WEDDING
This desert wedding is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Our perfect bride Melissa married Edward in a heart shaped strapless gown with lace appliqué. We loved the blue tones of her lovely bridesmaids, as well as the stunning photography by Michael Segal. Congratulations Melissa and Edward!

KANDICE + TK WEDDING
We just received these gorgeous pictures from our perfect L'ezu bride Kandice! She had a stunning Santa Barbara ceremony overlooking the ocean culminating with a delicious reception at the delicious Latin restaurant BESO. We loved creating this draped chiffon and silk gown for her, and the low back brought the simple but sexy look together. We wish all of the happiness to our beautiful L'ezu bride and her groom!

KAREN + ADAM WEDDING
This was a special wedding for us to work on. Our L'ezu bride Karen had originally ordered her Nina Ricci gown online, but when it arrived, though beautiful, she realized it wasn't really what she wanted. She then came to us, and together we reworked the dress into the gown of her dreams! We couldn't be more thrilled with the result, see some lovely pictures below of the perfect Colorado "pop-up" wedding!
Congratulations Karen and Adam!

JAMES CORDEN + IGGY AZALEA
We had so much fun on the Late Late Show with James Corden! James and the lovely, newly engaged Iggy Azalea dropped by our L'ezu studio on Robertson blvd. during the popular 'Carpool Karaoke' segment to try on a few gowns. It wasn't hard to make Ms. Azalea look beautiful, but we even found something for James! Watch the segment below.
VANESSA + SEBAS WEDDING
This was a very special day for us. The eldest son of our L'ezu co-founder Corina, Sebas, married the lovely Vanessa. We couldn't be prouder of the lace, open backed dress we created for Vanessa, who also couldn't be a more wonderful daughter to welcome to the L'ezu family.

ERIN + IAN WEDDING
Erin's gown was a breath of fresh air. We loved the draping simplicity of the front resulting in the more dramatic backless cut. An embroidered belt brought the halter look together in an elegant but modern gown. Add a flower to her hair and you have a gorgeous bride! Congratulations Erin + Ian!
