As seen in the 2014 edition of Ceremony Magazine Los Angeles, my article, FOR THE LOVE OF LOVELLA, is one of my favorite contributions to Ceremony this year. Not only is this brand new location and home for Lovella Bridal's luxurious salon a showstopper, but on the eve of their Grand Opening, I had the pleasure to hear the REAL STORY of how it all came to be! And to top it off, I sat down with the legendary and magnificent Ines Di Santo for a fabulous interview.

Ines and I during our interview in her showroom at Lovella Bridal, which takes up half the first floor of the salon.

The handsome and stylish Jorge Manuel received a large-scale rendering of his original drawing of the Lovella Bridal new store design while Angie and Nayri of Lovella wore colorful lace cocktail dresses created by the famed designer.

Jorge mentioned in his "acceptance speech" that if he would have known this drawing would forever be remembered, he would have used better paper and put more thought into it… We think it's perfect :)

Lovella Bridal is located at 224 S. Brand Blvd. Glendale, CA, across the street from The Americana at Brand. For appointments call 818.246.4637
