I totally get it—planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding that perfect, unique wedding gown.
In a stylish place like California, the pressure to stand out is real, and with so many options out there, it’s easy to feel lost in all the choices. It’s like a never-ending carousel of really pretty options, and that’s honestly stressful!
But here’s a little secret:
Instead of feeling burdened by the nagging feeling of “what if I find something better,” why not focus on how you feel in all of the dresses and finding a bridal shop experience that makes you feel like the only bride in California?
Finding a boutique that inspires you can make all the difference.
Imagine walking into a private bridal shop where you feel welcomed and excited, rather than stressed. That’s where the magic happens.
And let’s not forget, bridal stylists are actually there to support you! They’re like your wedding fairy godmothers, ready to listen to your vision and help you find something that truly feels like you. With their guidance, you can explore options you might not have thought of, and they’ll make the process feel more fun and less like a chore.
At Love Era, there is no pressure to force something that doesn’t feel right. In fact, if I can see your body language is saying “not the one” then my job is to start bringing in wild cards that are more in line with the words you are saying you want to feel.
So take a deep breath, and remember: it’s all about enjoying the journey. Focus on finding a gown that reflects your unique style and love story, and know that you don’t have to navigate this alone.
My DMs are always open if you are ready to talk about your style, dress options we have in store, and to find out if Love Era is right for you.
xoxo, Alex

POV: the first dress she loved on our website ended up being “the one” — when you know, you know.
#LOVEERAREALBRIDE @thecookingmomma has a special place in our hearts here at Love Era. Being a wife of 27 years and only now hosting “the big party” to celebrate her marriage with Jose, Jennifer wanted to feel like a country glam queen and go all out. At her appointment, we put her in a ton of gorgeous gowns, but it wasn’t until the final gown, the one Jen saw on our website, that a sparkle came into her eyes. We ALL knew there was something special when she wore this gown. I knew Jen wanted to pair the dress with a veil that was a little bit more glam than the rest, so we went with a @janerhyanthecollection layered veil but DOUBLED its size (!!!) While Jen really wanted a crown, we decided that wasn’t fitting the overall vibe and went with a pearl headband by @ateliersimonemartin that will stand the test of time, be worn on future anniversaries and passed down to one of the beautiful women in her family. We matched it with gorgeous pearl earrings and voila, classic country glam at its finest.
Jen, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the honor of styling your cowgirl glam wedding look and for allowing my husband and I to witness your love. It is inspiring to see the fruits of your labors, the love that grew from seeds of commitment all those years ago and the beautiful family you have raised.

PART ONE // Wearing vs. Styling — wedding dress edition
I always tell brides, your accessories can change the ENTIRE look of your wedding dress. Don’t pigeon hole yourself into a dress without seeing the possibilities. Lean on your bridal stylist to elevate your wedding day look. It’s the reason you came into a bridal shop rather than ordering online, after all ;)

Guilty of forever being a *hopeful* romantic — anyone else in their romance era? Which dress do we love most?

@studiolevana is incomparable when it comes to wedding dresses made with support and structure. Each gown has a sewn-in corset that lines the pattern inside and sits comfortably around your bust and mid-section. For those who want a little extra support and are looking to accentuate their curves — this line of gowns hits the nail on the head. Our Tamia gown is a bride favorite for anyone wanting whimsy fairytale vibes (a current fave request 🥰).
Being size inclusive is important to us here at Love Era, and @studiolevana isn’t the ONLY designer we have that designs gowns for sizes 0-32 😉
While we do have designers that charge additional fees for larger sizing (a conversation for another day 🫠) at Love Era, WE COVER THOSE FEES — it’s never even a conversation. We don’t feel it’s right for anyone to have to pay more for being outside of some arbitrary “standard” of sizing.
Sending love your way as you start the wedding dress shopping process ❤️ Anyone wanting to make an appt with Love Era in Temecula, CA can DM us for a direct link!
