Specialty:
“2026 Highlights: Love and Lace Bridal Salon is an intimate, boutique bridal destination located in historic Old Towne, Orange. The studio was founded by Ramona and Darren Southard; their salon was intentionally designed to move away from overwhelming, crowded showroom floors and high-pressure sales tactics. They provide relaxed, private styling suites where each bride receives dedicated, one-on-one guidance from an expert stylist. They specialize in modern, lightweight, and architectural wedding dresses crafted by celebrated independent designers from around the world, showcasing botanical laces, sleek Italian crepes, Basque waists, and drop-waist silhouettes that prioritize comfort, movement, and effortless individuality. From custom-crafted veils and artisan accessories to private suite experiences, they create an authentic, celebratory atmosphere for every bride. In addition to made-to-order gowns, they maintain a curated selection of designer sample gowns available to purchase off-the-rack for brides on shorter timelines. They specialize in curated architectural lines, A-line, drop-waist silhouettes, basque waistlines, and delicate botanical laces rather than heavy, mass-produced gowns. Every appointment is hosted in an intimate, dedicated styling suite with private lounge seating for your guests, ensuring complete comfort and personal attention.”
