When and how did you get your start?
We are a sister duo team with a long history in the bridal industry. We grew up working in our Mom's bridal salon, and were exposed to many aspects of the bridal industry at an early age. We learned so much from our Mom and still learn from her today. We both felt we had a creative vision we wanted to bring to the bridal industry and decided to start Tara Lauren.
Growing up in bridal showed us how exciting the world of bridal can be, and how special it feels to create someone's dream wedding gown. We both have always been more creatively inclined so we decided to explore the design side of the industry. Tara went on to study fashion design with an emphasis in bridal and evening wear at FIT in New York, while Shaina went on to continue working in bridal styling as well as celebrity fashion styling. We realized we had our own unique perspective we wanted to bring to the bridal world.
How would you describe the tara lauren bride?
We are open to design inspiration wherever we might find it in life, but most often we find it in our travels, from our love of fashion history, from fabric sourcing, even from the style and vivacity of our own brides.
Tara Lauren embodies an elevated romantic aesthetic designed with an admiration for the spirited confidence of today’s adventurous, modern bride. The TL bride evokes the beauty of effortless yet luxe style, as well as bold femininity. They are equally romantic as they are dynamic.
What would you be doing if you weren't designing?
We've always been artistically inclined in one way or another. Tara has always had a love for stationery and paper goods and would likely be doing something design wise in that arena. Shaina has a history in screenwriting and would likely be pursuing that. We've always had an array of hobbies that we are passionate about outside of design.

What's your best wedding dress shopping advice
for our lovelies?
So many things we could say! But one of the best things you can do for yourself is to keep your dress shopping party as small as possible. It can be overwhelming to find your wedding dress, and too often it can exacerbate the stress and confusion when you're fielding too many opinions. Keeping a clear head can help you listen to your gut.
