Lumière Couture Bridal Studio is a cute and quaint shop on the second floor of a building in a quiet plaza. The shop layout is simple, open and inviting, bringing the attention to the gorgeous dresses, letting them take the spot light. Each meticulous detail makes every dress unique and beautiful, with a myriad of colors to choose from. There are also bridesmaid dresses and handpicked accessories to match the east meets west bridal gowns. The shop also includes adorable cards and Queenie, the shop owner, had handcrafted tea and snacks to serve to her guests. They were absolutely delicious and she made the entire experience very welcoming and enjoyable.

Beautiful little shop with elegant HIGH QUALITY gowns. Dresses have varying degrees of Oriental inspiration. My favorite part is how each dress is custom made to each persons body measurements.

Id been watching Lumiere Couture Bridals dresses on my Facebook feed for a while now, maybe 2 years and I always kept Queenie in mind as one of the people to contact for my future wedding dress. What kept me coming back was the Western style gown styles, but they also had the Mandarin collar which harkens back to my Chinese heritage.Last year, Queenie held a Pop-Up Salon in Irvine and I was able to try on her dresses for the first time. It wasnt busy, so, even though I wasnt a bride yet, she let me try on a bunch of dresses. We hit some winners immediately, but since I didnt have any occasion for a formal dress, we left it at that, having had a really fun time to see her dresses up close and personal.And then, we became engaged this year! So, I called up Queenie and she immediately set up a time to try on wedding dresses in earnest. I went in and tried so many dresses, but since it was my first stop, I wanted to take a look at other salons. What I love about working with Queenie is her business motto. Lumiere Couture Bridal is her baby and she wants it to grow as a designer dress salon; at the same time, I can see that she really cares about the happiness of the bride and the fit of the bride with the dress.One month later after visiting other salons and I had a much better view of what I wanted out of my dress, I visited Queenie again to choose my Red chinese style reception dress. I was able to customise a few parts of my mermaid style dress, in addition to the dress color that comes standard with all of Queenies dresses.Since each dress is made to order, Queenie gives you color options for the lining and the upper layer of lace for your dress. Though she might not have your size in her studio, you will definitely be able to see what different color combinations look like from the samples hanging there. I purchased a pink lace on pink lining, one shouldered dress, which, I absolutely love and look forward to wearing to my engagement shoot. In addition, I ordered a red lace on burgundy lining mermaid style dress to wear during the reception, which will allow me to enjoy my day in comfort while looking very elegant.Weve got a couple more months until the wedding and I am so excited to wear both of my dresses when they are ready! Thank you Queenie!
