Meet Lara Knight

What was your path to becoming a wedding gown designer?

I li e to say that it’s in my lineage! I am the fifth generation in my family to be a seamstress. It really is my calling. From childhood, dressing up and fashion were a big part of my life. After studying at FIT, I worked with top fashion designers in New or City for o er 20 years and I immersed myself in couture. My family has now happily settled in Connecticut, enjoying the new lifestyle and the expansion of my bridal design studio.

I am so lucky to be able to follow my passion and do what I love every day, working with brides to create the gown of their dreams

What would you say is unique about a Lara Knight wedding gown?

E ery gown I create is hand built from scratch. I express the vision of the brides who come to me to create the gown of their dreams. My team sources the most exclusive fabrics from France and custom beading from the finest crafts eo le worldwide to create their unique wedding masterpiece. Along with the beauty of the gown, the erfect fit and feel are of utmost im ortance in my designs.

What can a bride-to-be expect during the process of creating a custom gown?

We work intimately to design and create exactly what they want, leaving no detail spared. From the first consultation, through design s etches, fittings, and the ultimate gown, fit to erfection, their ision and ersonality are re ected. Each step of the way, we incorporate their wishes for their special gown for one of the most important days of their life.

The process of working with Lara, going to fittings and watching my dress come to life was something I will cherish forever!

Do you offer a ready-to-wear collection?

We are excited to have recently launched a new line of ready-to-wear gowns. My debut collection features gowns that re ect beauty and elegance with my signature focus on fit. Not every bride wants to go the custom route, so I’m thrilled to offer this alternative that complements our custom couture.

Do you have any tips for the bride to be?

Fit is everything. Knowing a gown has structure and support so you can have an effortless evening is everything. You want to trust your designer and work with them in erson to ensure the erfect fit. I lo e the dresses I ma e, and I want to ensure you do, too!

My goal is to express each bride’s unique style, during one of the happiest moments of their life. It’s an honor to be a part of that.

the gown

G ind a gown that brings you oy. A gown that you now, 20 years from now, you’ll still be showing pictures of a gown that represents you.

G Fit is everything. Knowing a gown has structure and support so you can have an effortless evening is everything. You want to trust your designer, your boutique. Bonus if you can meet your designer in person.

hair

G Start taking really good care of your hair with in-salon treatments and trims. You will be heat styling your hair for many pre-wedding events and you want to ee your hair shiny and healthy for all the hotos!

G Consider adding hair extensions to add volume and hold your style for the wedding day.

makeup

G Always have a makeup and hair trial. Meet the artist in person to make sure the communication is clear and, most importantly, that you feel comfortable. There is so much happening on your big day, you don’t want to chance anything!

G Schedule your makeup trial at least 6-8 months out, bring as many inspiration photos as you can.

27 wedding planning /

styling

G Don’t forget a line in your budget for wedding dress alterations.

G Always go for a reception look change! You can have so much fun with your bridal wardrobe.

G ‘Something Borrowed’ can also mean ‘Money Saved’. Borrow a friend’s fabulous pair of shoes on your wedding day, you only wear them once and no one will see them but you and your photographer. Same with jewelry or a veil. Weddings are expensive, save where you can.

G Speaking of shoes, bring a fun pair of sneakers to change into, you’ll never regret it!

photography

G Always start by asking your friends for recommendations when searching for a photographer. It’s the best way to find someone who you can trust.

G Don’t be afraid to splurge in a photographer if you love their work. The photos will be with you forever and will eventually become the only memories of your big day!

G Trust your photographer when they suggest photographing in a certain location, offer posing ideas, or recommend a specific time of day. Be open to their recommendations and also be prepared to embrace the unexpected!

floral

G While flowers are very important - and arguably one of the biggest design elements of your whole wedding dayyou don’t have to lock your florist in first in the planning pecking order.

G Speak to your florist after choosing your venue and wedding party to discuss your needs for bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages etc. Start researching your florist 10-12 months prior to your wedding date.

G Determine your flower style and your floral needs. Research photos of flowers to decide your style and color palette. Floral designer can help in additional areas like table décor and other design details.
