Bohemian brides-to-be: Finding the perfect gown in Los Angeles just got breezier. L.A. bridal label Dreamers & Lovers' blissful boutique is now helping laid-back ladies find the vintage-inspired dress of their dreams at its first flagship in Venice. 

Located on low-key shopping stretch Lincoln Boulevard, the 1,600-square-foot showroom features designer and founder Yanique Barnes' vintage-inspired wedding dresses ($1,400 to $2,200), veils, and comfortable aisle-ready shoes alongside custom designs.

"The laid back vibe of Venice won us over because it parallels the DNA of our brand," says Barnes, who quit her job as a manager for Chanel to launch the brand in 2012 out of her Torrance studio. "It was an easy decision when we found our new space on Lincoln Boulevard. I have a love for up-and-coming, and [the street] is just that. It's not the ultra-expensive Abbot Kinney, with its multinational brands," Barnes tells UncoverLA.

Brides can expect to find "The One" in a down-to-earth environment, thanks to exposed wood ceilings, bright white walls, Persian rugs, and cozy rustic furnishings. The dreamy oasis is finished with dried florals created by Long Beach-based floral designer and friend Leelina Martin.

Barnes adds: "The fact that the numerical address is 214, had me convinced it was a match made in heaven, as 214 represents Valentine's Day, a day celebrating love, and pairs well with our wedding dresses."
