Geeky Bridal Boutique, Lorien Bridal, is having an open house

Lorien Bridal is celebrating its one-year anniversary with an open house! You can stop by on Saturday, July 10th between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to meet with different wedding vendors, discover some small businesses made for the nerdy heart, and just browse Lorien! They’ll even offer incentives for future brides who make a future appointment that day!

What you’ll see at this open house is not only some exciting wedding vendors. You’ll see a Geeky Bride’s dream come true. A boutique gorgeous enough that your Mother In Law won’t be able to complain about how geeky it is. Despite geek culture becoming more and more mainstream in the last few years, there’s never enough spaces for geeks to feel like they can be unconditionally themselves. Lorieb Bridal is a whimsical safe space for geeky brides to feel understood and accepted.

Walking into Lorien Bridal is like walking around an enchanted forest. Each area is inspired by a different mythical forest. There are plenty of nods to Lord of the Rings. As you walk into the shop a floor mat that reads “Speak Friend and Enter” greets you. The cardholder at the register is Tree Beard and even the name of the boutique is inspired by Lord of The Rings culture.

Harry Potter Inspired Dressing Area

The Gown Chooses the Bride! This Harry Potter-inspired area has a rabbit Patronus, wands, owls, and trunks.  There are even nods to Snape and Lily. The gorgeous Hogwarts-inspired mirror is breathtaking. Can you just imagine standing in front of that mirror in your dream wedding gown? I hope you bring a lot of tissues with you!

Star Wars Dressing Area

The Force is Strong with this bridal boutique. In what is arguably the most obvious geek corner of the store, Lorien Bridal welcomes you to an Endor-inspired dressing area. We can not get over the lightsaber-inspired hanging lights and the adorable pillows. I can’t imagine what more a geeky bride could want.  Will you choose a dress from the dark or light side?

The British Invasion

As you open the front door, a Gallifreyan welcome sign by Adventures in Staceland is the first thing you see. To the rear of the store is a Doctor Who inspired Bathroom and a Sherlock Holmes inspired storage room. There is even a Game Of Thrones-inspired door stop! Stop! You’re killing us with all the geek nods! But also, please don’t stop, we love it!

But what makes Lorian Bridal Boutique truly special is the exclusive dresses from Geek Couture designers Lynne Marie Martens of Classy Looking Nerf Herder.
