Laura's Couture Collection was honored by being named one of the 50 Best Bridal Salons in America by BRIDES magazine in the August/September 2015 edition. We were the only salon in Kansas City to be given this honor, and only one of 11 in the Midwest. We are flattered that more than 1,100 brides were surveyed, and they rated Laura's Couture Collection as their favorite dress-shopping experience in Kansas City. We wouldn't have received this honor without the help of our fabulous brides!

David Tutera’s Top Wedding Color Palettes

Choosing an effective wedding color palette is about more than just making your wedding and reception look pretty. The right wedding color palette can set the mood, atmosphere and style of your wedding and reception.

So where do you begin? David Tutera, host of My Fair Wedding, gave Bridal Guide magazine his favorite wedding color palettes. See below for a small taste, or click here to read the full list.

Blue

David Tutera said, “Everyone knows my favorite color is blue. It’s the color of my brand, it’s soothing, calming and it of course fits in with ‘something blue’ which should definitely be in your wedding. Think about infusing blue with multiple shades of this hue, along with white and silver or pewter (but not both).”

Diamond White

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! According to David Tutera, “A modern color scheme is pure diamond white across the board — literally just one color. If you wish, sprinkle in some accent colors, which could be metallic (no gold) and one strong color (e.g. purple, red, cobalt blue) — or simply a solid white paired with a metallic.”

Purple

David Tutera said, “My favorite color trend for 2013-2014 is purples and lavenders. You can go from as deep as a quartz purple, which is a very deep, regal purple, to a traditional purple and a third tone of lavender or lilac. If you wanted to add an accent color, make it silver — I do not like gold paired with purples. Silver is a more classic, elegant choice.”

This Shoe Fits

Dancing the night away with friends, family and most importantly the new spouse is something brides dream about their entire lives. However, more often than not, by the time the bridal party arrives at the wedding reception, their feet are aching from such painfully gorgeous shoes. Most designer shoes are meant to look phenomenal, but tend to wear on the bride’s feet quite quickly after her timeless walk down the aisle.

Enter Angela Nuran.

Angela Nuran is a bridal shoe designer, but her shoes are crafted with added thought and care. Ms. Nuran is a former professional dancer/dance instructor, who now dedicates her passion for dance to bridal comfort. According to Angela Nuran’s website, she discovered this passion while helping couples choreograph their wedding dances, and she often became very close with her clients and has been invited to many weddings.

She soon came to notice how often these brides became weary from their beautiful designer wedding shoes, thus inspiring her to design a shoe that would both look stunning and provide the necessary comfort for dancing the night away; just as every bride deserves to--in comfort and style.

Angela Nuran’s shoe collection offers a wide array of options in shades and accessories. From simple white, to a detailed and glitzy heel; the Angela Nuran line offers something breathtaking for any bridal style.

Thanks to Angela Nuran, beauty doesn’t have to be painful. We would love to introduce our brides to the comfort and beauty that this gorgeous line of bridal shoes has to offer, and are proud to offer this designer at Laura’s Couture Collection. Please contact us if you would like to come in and experience them for yourself!
