nlike any other bridal and women’s formal wear boutique, we have been blessed with a true inspiration for how we shall conduct business, serve others, and make everyone we come into contact with feel as though they have entered a very special place offering a unique and memorable experience. This is the story of Lily Rose.


he mother of Susan Sabatini, one of our boutique’s co-owners, Lily Rose Bucci Sabatini was born July 13, 1929 as one of ten children. Her name was given by her parents because from the moment she entered the world, she was more beautiful than just one flower could convey. Her life, though short, depicted one of beauty inside and out that was exemplified with grace, fortitude, and resilience even in the most challenging of circumstances.

 

As a wife, mother, aunt, sister, volunteer, hairstylist, and friend, she dedicated her life to bringing out the beauty in everyone she touched through her skillful hands, kind and encouraging words, and a passion for hospitality, simple pleasures, and making whomever she came into contact with feel special, loved and appreciated.

 

At the age of 43, Lily Rose passed away from breast cancer. She was remembered in a story written by her husband as having “the indefinable beauty of every woman.” Those who knew her believe she was taken to heaven to be a guardian angel of all who still cherish her and the fond memories that are held so dear.

 

This prose, written by one of her nieces, captures her memory of Lily Rose from a nine year old child's perspective. It speaks to how we hope our boutique will be with each life that we touch.


 


Lily Rose  … A Vision of Beauty

 

A woman with a clear vision of herself to the world

A woman whose beauty came from inside her smile and through her eyes

A woman depicting a quiet confidence through her kindness and gentleness

A woman radiating exuberance and charm when she walked into a room

A woman with a style all her own and the essence of good taste

A woman talented in accentuating her best features and those of others

A woman aglow with beauty inside and out both in her words and actions

A woman aware of herself with others, never denying another’s presence

A woman possessing a smoothness in her walk and sex appeal in her thoughts

A woman passionate about life, love, laughter and tears

A woman delicate by nature, yet strong beyond all measure

 

This was Lily Rose … through the eyes of a child.



he Lily Rose Couture Bridal & Formal Wear Boutique brings the essence of Lily Rose into focus through not only her name, but her example as well. We hope your experience with us will serve as a living legacy of our namesake.


 
mong the most popular flowers used in weddings and heart-filled special occasions, the lily and the rose seemed the perfect combination for our bridal boutique.

 

The Lily is a symbol of beauty, majesty and honor, with the White Lily representing innocence and purity. The Calla Lily is the epitome of beauty and strength. The Tiger Lily depicts wealth, pride and prosperity, while the Lily of the Valley offers a message of a return to happiness, humility and a feeling as though life is now complete.

 

The Rose is the universal symbol for love with its varying colors taking on meaning of their own. The Red Rose boldly says I love you and the White Rose proclaims you are heavenly and worthy, while the Thornless Rose affirms that it was love at first sight. Pink Roses show a perfect happiness and trust and the Hibiscus Rose depicts the most delicate of beauty. Rosebuds are the flowers of purity, innocence and girlhood, perfect for junior bridesmaids and flower girls.
