It was a full-circle fashion moment at Gia Lopez’s quinceañera, where both mother and daughter were styled by Lovella Bridal’s Wedding Fashion Expert, Nayri, in an unforgettable celebration of love, family, and couture style. Set against a beautiful, joy-filled backdrop, Gia, daughter of Mario and Courtney Lopez, celebrated her 15th birthday in true fashion-forward style.
Gia's quinceañera gown, designed by Princesa by Ariana Vara, featured exquisite embellishments and layers of tulle worthy of a fairytale. The look captured everything a quinceañera should be: glamorous, modern, and full of personality.

For Nayri this event was more than just another fashion styling project. It was a meaningful milestone, because Nayri had the honor of dressing both Gia and her mom, Courtney Lopez, for the celebration. The collaboration marked a sentimental return to their fashion story together: Nayri also styled Courtney for her 2012 wedding to actor and television host Mario Lopez, where both mother and daughter wore Ines Di Santo gowns from Lovella Bridal.
Thirteen years later, the family returned to Lovella for Gia’s quinceañera, trusting Nayri once again to curate their looks for another once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Couture Looks Fit for Two Generations
For this milestone celebration, Gia wore a spectacular Princesa by Ariana Vara gown in soft, pale blue tones, adorned with shimmering crystals and golden accents and voluminous tulle that moved beautifully on the dance floor. Courtney Lopez complemented her daughter perfectly in an Ines Di Santo gown from Lovella Bridal. Courtney’s dress was a sleek column silhouette with a strapless sweetheart neckline and an elegant, sculptural peplum detail that added just the right touch of sophistication.
The styling connection between Nayri and the Lopez family beautifully showcases Lovella Bridal’s mission to help every client look and feel their absolute best for life’s most meaningful celebrations, from weddings to milestone events.
A Celebration Featured in People Magazine
Gia’s quinceañera was featured in People. It blended traditional Latin cultural elements with modern luxury touches, including a mariachi band, mocktails, custom decor, and a stunning family wardrobe styled to perfection. The feature highlighted the family’s emotional connection to this celebration and the thought and creativity that went into every detail from the event design to the couture gowns chosen at Lovella Bridal.
From Wedding Day to Quinceañera: A Lovella Legacy
From Courtney Lopez’s wedding gown in 2012 to her dress for Gia’s quinceañera in 2025, the Lopez family’s continued trust in Lovella Bridal and Wedding Fashion Expert, Nayri is a true testament to the boutique’s personalized styling and fashion expertise. Whether it’s a walk down the aisle, a milestone celebration, or a once-in-a-lifetime event, Lovella Bridal remains the destination for celebrity clients and brides seeking couture gowns, expert guidance, and unforgettable style moments.
