LulaKate is a longtime favorite of the Southern Weddings gals–we’ve featured their “classic with a twist” bridesmaid dresses more times than we can count (find them in our editorials here, here, and here), as well as had the privilege of rocking a few LulaKate styles ourselves at the V6 launch party. Their booth is also a favorite stop any time we head to Bridal Market–there’s nothing better than a little dose of Charleston hospitality in the middle of NYC! Since LulaKate just launched a gorgeous new website and plenty of new styles and fabrics, we thought it would be the perfect time for a little re-introduction. Designer Katherine McDonald kindly answered a few of our questions about this beloved brand, and Kat Harris provided plenty of fun photos that totally capture the vibe of the LulaKate girl. Enjoy!

Tell us about the beginnings of LulaKate—why did you want to start a bridesmaid line, and how did you get started? My bridesmaid line evolved from my original ready-to-wear line. Some of my ready-to-wear customers were asking me to design their bridesmaid and wedding dresses, and after saying no a number of times, I finally said yes. After the first wedding, I was hooked. I love the process of getting to know a bride, her family, and her friends. Being part of such a special day in someone’s life is truly an honor.

What sets LulaKate apart from other bridesmaid brands? We are proudly sewn in the USA and have some of the best customer service in the industry.

What is your single best tip for a bride about to start shopping for her wedding gown? Remember to purchase the dress you love. Consider loved ones’ opinions, but make the final decision yourself.

What is your current favorite wedding dress in your collection? If you were to get married tomorrow, which dress would you wear? The Brooklyn is my favorite dress from the 2016 Collection. I would wear either her or the LaMour from the 2014 collection.

What is your favorite memory from your own wedding day? My dad playing the drums with the band!

Do you have a favorite LulaKate memory? Seeing Carolina Herrera on the street of NYC earlier this year and the first time I went to India in the early years of my career.

What is the single greatest lesson you’ve learned in business? Never take anything for granted.

Name three items every gal should have in her closet. Something from your mom, something from your grandmother, and something you can pass down to your daughter/daughter-in-law.

Thank you so much, Katherine! Be sure to check out the beautiful, newly designed LulaKate website here–especially between December 10-13, when they’ll be hosting their sample sale! You can also follow along with LulaKate on social media here:

When it comes to telling your story through your wedding, everything from your invitation suite to the flavor of your cake can help communicate something to your guests. In turn, your favorite details you choose for your wedding can create their own story–for example, if you fill your bouquet with gardenias, their scent will transport you back to that day, even years later. That’s why we love the idea of looking for inspiration everywhere, and in this case, we were inspired by Donna Morgan’s blue floral Stephanie dress. Its tone-on-tone palette is gorgeous for a wedding, but it would certainly serve as lovely newlywed home inspiration long after the big day! Here’s an inspiration board for the sweet, elegant, early summer celebration we envision this dress being a part of.

A few weeks ago, we shared a feminine and floral inspiration board and shopping guide, inspired by one of Donna Morgan’s newest prints, and today, I’m excited to introduce y’all to another–Taffy! Watercolor details are always beautiful additions to a wedding, and this dress is such a unique option that would be a perfect fit for a late spring or summer celebration.

Inspired by the bright and bold, but still sweet, Taffy print, this inspiration board is fit for a Southern early summer wedding, perhaps in the backyard or on a farm. It’s charming, colorful, and strikes just the right balance between elegant and playful!
