Pictures from Friday's gala opening of Morristown bridal studio 'i do, i do'

By George!

February 15, 2010, 7:02AM

Kevin CoughlinShannon Boyd of Jackson and Katie Van Rensalier of Hackensack saw an online ad, and became Morristown brides for the night. Photo by Kevin Coughlin"Morristown needed this," Laura Biancosaid at Friday's gala opening of bridal studio i do, i do.

Laura is spearheading a "Don't Elope!" campaign--she runs the My Bellissimawedding service a few blocks away--and she predicted the new studio will help her cause.

"Women will come here from all over," Laura said. "Every bride wants to feel like she is the only one getting married. They want a one-to-one experience. This is for the luxury bride. This is upscale."

I do, i do is a joint venture of Patricia Lipper and Leia Harley, longtime friends and colleagues in the fashion industry.

They will sell bridal gowns ranging from $1,200 to $4,000, and accessories. On Feb. 25, they will participate in Here Comes the Bride, a local bridal show at the Hyatt Morristown.

"I had high expectations. This has surpassed my expectations," Susan Brierly, style editor of New Jersey Bride magazine, said of the spacious, tastefully appointed studio. "This is extraordinary."

Susan said the wedding business is more insulated from economic downturns than most industries.

"Girls always get married," she said. "They always want dream weddings."

Although the recession has thinned some bridal parties, New Jersey weddings still typically cost in the neighborhood of $50,000 and $55,000, said Kara Thorson, co-owner of My Bellissima.

Enjoying the scene Friday were Shannon Boyd of Jackson and Katie Van Rensalier, who became model brides for the evening by responding to an online ad.

For Katie, a recent Rutgers grad who has performed at Madison's Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, the event was like a dress rehearsal for her impending nuptials.

Shannon was keeping her eyes open. She has made one trip to the altar, and has not ruled out another.

"I'm looking for Mr. Right," she said, flashing a bright smile. "Everyone deserves to be happy!"

New Morristown bridal shop opens in time for Valentine's Day, joins downtown matrimonial movement

By George!

February 12, 2010, 8:00AM

Kevin CoughlinA new bridal studio, 'i do, i do,' opens its doors today on South Street in Morristown.

That popping sound you're likely to hear this weekend will be the sound of questions, as in: "Will you marry me?"

Which should be music to the ears of Patricia Lipper and Leia Marley, who are opening a new bridal studio in Morristown today, just in time for Valentine's Day.

"It's the big engagement holiday. We're going to get business right away!" promised Patricia, co-owner of i do, i do on South Street.

Kevin CoughlinLeia Marley and Patricia Lipper are opening a Morristown bridal studio called 'i do, i do.' For years they worked together in the fashion industry: Leia in design, Patricia in merchandising.The studio will specialize in bridal gowns costing $1,200 to $4,000, and also will carry shoes, designer jewelry, handbags and other accessories.

If bridesmaids don't find dresses that suit them, Patricia said she will cheerfully send them across the street to Nonchalance.

That same spirit of cooperation will be on display at Here Comes the Bride, a bridal show at the Hyatt Morristown on Feb. 25. Sponsored by the Morristown Partnership, the show will showcase numerous local shops connected to the business of matrimony.

Kevin CoughlinNonchalance has been selling bridesmaid dresses in Morristown for nearly 17 years."We're all trying to work together to help the town," said Kristin Taylor, who opened Nonchalance almost 17 years ago. "Wedding shops are a destination. We bring people into town who also may shop for other things."

While weddings have gotten smaller during the recession, "people are still getting married," Kristin said.

"You adapt, you change, you try to get creative," she said. "I don't have any big complaints, compared to the rest of the world. But you work harder during times like these."

It never hurts to be versatile. On March 3, wedding planner Laura Bianco of My Bellissima will sing at the Community Theatre in the Morristown's Got Talent competition. (Video preview.)

A few days later, Laura will march down the aisle herself.

Patricia and Leia, longtime friends and co-workers in the fashion industry, have been down that aisle before, and will welcome repeat customers to i do, i do.

They also will have a large flat-screen TV for romantic movies--though fathers-of-the-brides may be permitted to watch sports, said Patricia, a Bernardsville resident.

Models at Morristown High School's Project Graduation fashion show will wear dresses from i d, i do on March 18, she said.

Patricia had hoped to open the studio last fall, but the economy posed some challenges. She is undaunted.

"I am so excited, I can't sleep," she said. "I just want to open the doors. I'm not even nervous. I'm just excited. It's like a dream. It's something I've always wanted to do. It's finally happened."
