Lauren Santo Domingo, founder of Moda Operandi, VOGUE Contributor and of course one of our favorite socialites, was married to Andres Santo Domingo in Cartagena Colombia in 2008 in what VOGUE called the “Wedding of the Year.” We couldn’t agree more!
This Marchesa dress isn’t custom, but it sure looks that way with a silk taffeta train and a beaded lace back, reminiscent of Lauren’s dress above. The train even detaches for beautiful reception style.
We’re all about dresses that can keep up with your signature dance moves at the reception, and it seems like Lauren is with us on that one. Her dress detached (like the one above) for a feathery frock that looks ready to party!
For a similar style, why not opt for this little number that has festive feathers in more of a taupe and silver hue that you could wear to parties for years to come. It’s on sale now so be sure to snatch yours up before they’re gone.
Lauren’s bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning in a range of sherbet-colored gowns that seem like they’re straight out of a fairy tale. We love the idea of giving your bridesmaids a color palette and letting them choose their dresses, or giving them a few different styles to choose from. It feels modern, yet completely sophisticated and classic.
To get this bridesmaid look we chose dresses from Lauren herself… all from her site Moda Operandi which sells designer clothes straight from the runway.
