Day-of Tip: Take a few quiet moments for yourself before getting dressed — deep breaths, happy thoughts, and a little calm before the beautiful chaos begins. 🤍 Lady Gaga’s Just Dance is my forever anthem—it calms me down, hypes me up, and gets me through everything. Total magic.

✨Meet the heart behind Lemons & Lace✨

Hi, I’m Sara — mom to two extraordinary girls, wife to my remarkable husband Justin, and the dreamer behind Lemons & Lace Bridal.

For over 20 years, I’ve dreamt of helping brides find the dress that makes them feel completely themselves. After the loss of my dad, I was reminded just how precious time is, I knew it was time to follow my passion. With the support of my family, Lemons & Lace came to life. 🍋💛

A couple things about me: I believe in the magic of the Santa Ana winds, and you’ll always find me with red nails. 💅✨

I’m beyond excited to welcome you to Lemons & Lace and to be part of your beautiful journey.

Wedding Dress Spending Report (Fall 2024)

Brides-to-be, have you observed a change in how much is being spent on wedding dresses? According to a recent study by The Knot, the average amount spent on wedding dresses has been steadily increasing, with brides prioritizing quality and uniqueness over budget. In 2024, the average spend on a wedding dress is around $1,900, a notable rise from previous years.

What’s fueling this trend? Brides are increasingly seeking dresses that mirror their personal style and values. Many are choosing bespoke or designer gowns to ensure a unique, individualized experience.

At Lemons & Lace, we’re all about creating that perfect, unique dress that tells your story. After all, your wedding day deserves nothing but the best.

Interesting Fact:
Did you know that custom-made dresses and ethical sourcing are becoming key considerations for modern brides? Nearly 30% of brides are willing to increase their budget for a dress that aligns with their values. This means more emphasis on sustainable materials and supporting local designers — something we’re passionate about at Lemons & Lace.

Meet the Creator of Lemons & Lace: Sara Shipp

Hi! I’m Sara, the core and spirit of Lemons & Lace. What is Lemons & Lace? Well, its Ventura's newest bridal studio offering boholux, one-of-a-kind dresses, dedicated to the free-spirited, romantic, elegant and effortlessly chic bride.

So who am I? I’m a mom to two extraordinary girls, Bill and George. I am also married to Justin, my remarkable husband who supports my dream of creating a space where brides can find their perfect dress. I have always loved weddings and have dreamt of selling wedding dresses for over 20 years! And now, that dream is finally coming true — here we go!

Why open a business now? Well, after losing my dad suddenly, I came to understand the delicate nature of life. I knew it was time to pursue my passion and create something unique.

With no regrets, my mom’s support and Justin’s encouragement, Lemons & Lace was born. 🍋

When I’m not crafting the perfect bridal experience, you’ll find me thrifting, making memories with the people I care about, dancing with enthusiasm (I've got some sweet moves), or finding out how to always be of service to others.
I believe there is magic in the Santa Ana winds and my nails are always red.

Charity holds a special place in my heart. At Lemons & Lace, we are committed to supporting the Ventura Community. We pledge that a portion of our proceeds will always benefit those in need, demonstrating our dedication to making a meaningful impact beyond offering beautiful wedding dresses.

I’m thrilled to embark on this journey with you and am eager to make your wedding dress experience truly unforgettable.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get ready to open our doors this Fall!
