Happy Easter Sunday!


Today was a special Easter Sunday!  My neice, Alexandra Elise, was baptised today and I am so honored to not only be her aunt but her Godmother and Zach is her Godfather. :)  We love both our neices so much and are always thrilled to spend time with them.  They grow so fast and crack me up with the things they do!

Madeleine (our older neice) is talking up a storm and doing the best impersonations of a ham child!  She is such a hoot and I can't wait for her to have fun times with her baby sister too!  What a great weekend of wonderful memories.  Hope all of you had a GREAT Easter weekend as well!  In asking our customers "What are your plans for the holiday weekend?"... most of you responded with "Food and Family Time".  What a great combination! 

I can't think of a better way of spending time than with those two things bringing it all together.  I remember my Saviour who died for the sins of the world and look forward to remembering and celebrating with those I love.  No matter your beliefs, we can all find a reason to let holidays bring us together for reason to stuff our faces amidst a busy and bustling schedule we all seem to keep. 

As my husband and I were driving home, we noticed LOTS of businesses closed on Easter Sunday so I hope all of us got to spend the day doing something special to us.

Speaking of food, we all went to one of my favorite spots in Austin after church- Ches Zee.  They were having their Easter Brunch and it was packed, but we had our table in the back waiting for us so we could gab more about the reasons that brought us there.  Happy Easter!

Allegra: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture

A beautiful Catholic wedding with traditional Mexican flair best describes Allegra and Cesar’s wedding day. They said, “I Do” on May 28, 2016, and will forever cherish the memories made with their family and friends. Allegra had a vision for her wedding day, and it was our job to help her find a gown that would complement every other detail.  THE DRESS  After an unsuccessful bridal appointment at another shop, Allegra found herself at Ava’s. Feeling a bit discouraged, she explained her wants and needs to her consultant. She was looking for an all lace gown, white or off-white in color, a decent train, and some sort of sleeve. Kelly, her consultant, pulled several styles for Allegra, keeping her requests in mind, and throwing in a few other styles to reinforce her original requests. Allegra was pleasantly surprised to have loved a number of these gowns, but still reverted to a gown that almost matched her vision exactly; Allure Bridals’ Style #2800. This gorgeous s

Happy Mother's Day Wifey's!

One of the oh so many things I love about bridal shop happenings... the meaningful relationships. We meet a bride, she buys her wedding dress... the end, right? I sure hope not! Over the past 12 years in business, I have met some of the most amazing men and women who were once customers at some point in time.  They definitely bought more than "just a dress" or "just a service".  We make so many memories together, form a relationship and that relationship is so special!  No two customers are ever alike. You would think after 12 years it would get old.  Would it be the same day after day?  Year after year?  Same old stories, same old song and dance? Thankfully for me, it doesn't! Today's blog, I am thinking of all of our past brides who became a wifey after saying "I Do".  Perhaps the journey as a wife means you want to become a mom. Maybe you have decided you want a family with kiddos...  Maybe you are marrying into a family with children... Maybe y

New Building Under Construction Nearby!

You won't need to drive far from our current location on Debbie Lane to see us at our new building under construction! After 10 years making Debbie Lane our "home" for Say Yes to the Dress moments and memories, we reached a crossroads and made a big decision to merge the two locations while under construction.   How can we keep up with new generations and stay on the cutting edge for our two stores?   Our current lease at 1205 E Debbie Lane ended at the New Year of 2018.  We secured an awesome new property for our bridal business to focus more on customer experience, convenience and online shopping! Many of you have seen Ava's Bridal in Fort Worth grow this past year in our new building on Camp Bowie.  The space on Camp Bowie is nearly 3 times the square footage of our previous space.  This past year in our new building has been a dream come true.  We are so thankful for the response received from past, present and future customers and have grown our onl
