I searched for my wedding dress for a long time. I went to at least 6 different locations with friends and family. As I started to get a little nervous about the time line I read about a Lela Rose sample sale so I decided to go check it out alone after work. I wondered into their show room to be greeted by the nicest sales people (and a few other half naked brides : ). It was the most civil sample sale I have ever attended and I tried on beautiful dresses in all different size, many samples from bridal showrooms. All the highest quality of silk and lace. I ended up falling in love with one dress. I stayed in the showroom taking pictures and calling friends/family for at least half an hour after the last shopper had left. The staff always friendly and welcoming wanting me to make the right decision, and I really feel that I did. The dress was an great price, beautiful silk and an amazing cut. They even gave me a discount to get it tailored at Madame Paulette. I highly recommend Lela Rose for her bridal collection and party dresses (and staff)!

I absolutely adore the Lela Rose dress I purchased through Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier. The style I chose is called "The Pond" and it is simple and gorgeous. Our wedding was outdoors at a vineyard in Virginia, but the quality craftsmanship and design of this dress eerved me well. Lela Rose's dresses are 100% silk, including the lining. A lot of wedding gowns that I tried on had a polyester lining, which would have been stifling in August heat! This dress breathed well and held up beautifully throughout the wedding day. I felt like a million bucks in my gorgeous (and surprisingly very well priced) dress and wish I could wear it again and again!!
