Lauren: I Wanted to Look and Feel Like a Princess

Lauren dishes on her beautiful bridal shower...

By Lauren Manzo Scalia

Bravotv.com: Your bridal shower looked absolutely beautiful! Your mom did an amazing job. What was your initial reaction as soon as you walked into your shower?

How to Watch

Catch up on Manzo'd With Children on the Bravo App.

Lauren Manzo: I was really shocked at how beautiful it was. I knew it would be nice but I didn't know my mom had all that creativity in her! I had that feeling I think every bride should feel when they walk into their shower. I was really overwhelmed with love, as cheesy as that sounds.

The Ultimate Bridal Shower Surprise

Bravotv.com: What made you decide to wear a custom wedding dress to your bridal shower?

LM: I wanted a "wedding gown" that was super simple and earthy since that's the complete opposite of my wedding gown. I contacted Watters (which I did the glamour shoot with season one and asked if they could make it for me. I wanted to look and feel like a princess. I didn't just want any white dress. They were incredible and literally designed the dress for me in less than two weeks and I sent them my measurements through text message! It was actually a crop top and tulle skirt.

Jacqueline Interrogates Albie and Brittany

Bravotv.com: What was it like having Brittany not only at the shower, but also there helping set up for the shower?

LM: I like Brittany. No issues with her. The more the merrier in my opinion.

Surprise! It's Greg Bennett

Bravotv.com: Did you have any idea what your brothers were up to when they crashed your shower? How shocked were you to see Greg?

LM: There was a little part of me that said, "this has to be Greg and if it's not Greg there better be a car out there for them to make such a scene." No, I had no idea my brothers were going to crash, but I loved that they were able to be a part of the day.

Bravotv.com: What was the most memorable part of your shower?

LM: Probably how beautiful everything was. I still think about it all the time and look back at pictures. The time and effort my mom put into it really means so much to me.
