\)(1- hen Miriam Le of
Scottsdale, Ariz.,
found the absolutely
perfect gown for her
wedding, she briefly
breathed a sigh of
white and organza
relief But then she
realized there was more to the look of
the bride than the ideal dress — even
one that she said was so great "they liter-
ally took it off a model who was showing
it and put it on me."
So she set out — under the guidance
of Alexis Williamson, original creative
director at Le Salon Bridal Boutique
in Birmingham, where she purchased
her dress — on a search for earrings, a
bracelet, hairpiece and necklace, and the

all-important veil.
Enter bridal veil and accessory de-
signer Ariel Taub of the West Bloomfield
bridal design studio, Ariel Jennifer Taub,
whose pieces are carried at Le Salon.
"Ariel provided the perfect veil for
me," said Le, who married Viet Le, at the
Westin Book Cadillac Detroit in October
2012. "My dress was a beautiful Rosa
Clara gown. It had a sweetheart strapless
neckline, natural waist and A-line skirt.
My favorite part of my dress was that the
skirt was made of a rosette pattern that I
just fell in love with. It was perfect:'
For a veil, Le wanted "something
timeless, classic and romantic I wanted
the veil to fall a certain way, and Ariel
provided the perfect veil for me," said the
former Oak Parker of her full cathedral-
length veil with a delicate pencil edge.

FROM NEAR AND VERY FAR
Tatiana Chernitzky traveled thousands
of miles for her Jenny Packham gown
and Arid Jennifer Taub veil from Le
Salon.
Tatiana and her husband, Patricio
Gorozpe, are both from Mexico City and
were married at Rancho San Joaquin
in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico in
March 2013.
"My dress was very elegant, delicate
and feminine with a vintage look," said
Tatiana, who with Patricio recently
moved to New York City. "I flew from
Mexico for the dress I had never tried
on and already purchased. The veil was
there. I guess it was waiting for me; both
the dress and the veil were perfect. The
veil was simple and beautiful. It paired
my dress perfectly."

For Daisy V. Sugg, of Chicago, an
Arid Jennifer Taub veil was the focal
point of her look when she married
Alexander D. Sugg at Dunafon Castle
in Idledale, Colo. After purchasing an
ivory tulle St. Pucchi couture gown with
a corset bodice and handkerchief tulle
skirt at Le Salon, she said, "I unexpect-
edly got pregnant and was five months
by the time of the wedding. I was forced
to purchase a new gown."
At Le Salon, Sugg also had bought
Taub's custom two-tier fold-over full
chapel-length veil, with a square-cut
design, trimmed with a sheer organza
ribbon.
"The gown I actually wore was a
Pnina Tornai sweetheart neckline with
chiffon skirt and jeweled top and a
big satin champagne bow on the front,"
