 For any of you looking for a beautiful, quiet and secluded place to honeymoon, check out Turks and Caicos.  Zach and I read on The Knot that this was the top places for honeymooners because of it's private, safe beaches, great dining/entertainment and beautiful island surroundings. The most private, uninhabited beaches and scenery in the Caribbean.    TCI reminded us a lot of Kaui, Hawaii which is where we spent our honeymoon years ago.  The buildings weren't built up and the pace of the island was "Island Time".  Don't expect to have the technology on the island that you have back home.  They lost internet connection on the entire island one of the days we were there and the entire place was removed from the world wide web. :)  It could be our one day experience, but I didn't mind being separated from the real world for a few days or so. The best fine dining you can find!   We ate at several amazing restaurants while in our stay.  One of the attract

We got the most beautiful picture in an email this week with a sweet note that said:      I just wanted to thank you again for my beautiful "custom" wedding dress!!!  I received so many complements on my dress & how I looked on my wedding day & it would not of been possible without you!  I'm so glad I found your shop online & made the drive from Georgetown.  I've attached a picture of my groom & I...

Trena and Salim Holder tied the knot in October of this year and we are so excited to share their love story with you!  We asked Trena how she met her love and she remembers back to day one when her love story began... "We met at a Tex-Mex restaurant in Arlington, TX called Gloria's.  Salim came to Texas one weekend to look for an apartment before moving from Appleton, WI to Dallas, TX for work.  We met up with a close group of mutual friends and that's when I met Salim for the first time.  We instantly hit it off at dinner amoung friends and before leaving for the night, Salim asked if I could be his official tour guide to help acclimate him to the city once he returned back to Dallas.  I agreed and the rest is history!"   For all brides, the big question is where and when will you tie the knot!? It's so important to find the right venue that you both love so you can set a date and we love the way they found theirs... "We got married at the Texas and Pacif

Brandon and Lisa Turner were married this year.  Our staff had the BEST time getting to know her, her adorable Mom, and her sweet friends too!  I hope Lisa's love story will give inspiration to other brides planning their day too.  Lisa and Brandon's love story began when they met online through eHarmony.  Their wedding was an indoor ceremoney in the small banquet room at the Las Colinas Country Club.  " Our reception followed immediately in the grand ballroom of the Las Colinas Country Club.  It was a beautiful venue with an amazing view of Dallas and the golf course." As the wedding planning came together, Lisa and Brandon realized that planning a wedding where the majority of your guests will be flying in from out of state was fairly stressful, but they got through it together.  " I think the most fun we had was doing the engagement photos and when I did my bridal portraits.  I also had a hard time finding a dress - tried on millions (so it seems) but when

Can I just say? This Thanksgiving I am especially thinking of some VERY special brides, co-workers and friends who are part of my Classy Concepts family that have recently lost a loved one.  When I give thanks this year, I will remember those who will be looking at the empty chair at the dinner table. My heart is heavy for those who know what I am referring to.  My hope is that you will tell their story and continue to laugh, remember and celebrate the life you shared together.  Never stop telling their story so their memory is always with you.  God bless everyone this holiday and for all that we have to be thankful. (If you are reading this and you told me of the special someone you lost sooner than you hoped in life, you know who you are and that this was written for you.  You are on my mind and I appreciate all of the happy and sad moments we have shared together.  I look forward to celebrating all of the great things in store for your life... Taking it one day at a time... Wit

Sarah & Phillip Williams were recently married and we are so excited to share her love story!  She sent us these amazing photos and great insite into her wedding day and relationship with Phillip that we are excited to share with our fans.   {While reading their story, we couldn't stop oooing and ahhing so you will see some of that below...!} Here is Sarah and Phillip's Love Story: Our ceremony was held at The Harbo Chapel at Possum Kingdom Lake.  The chapel is very intimate and seats about a 100 people.  It has brushed wood floors, wall to wall floor length windows that open up to the surrounding patio and a woodsy area behind the venue. Our reception was a few minutes down the road at Phillip's parents lake house right on Possum Kingdom Lake.  We had the tables set up in the grass close to the double level wood deck that we used as the Dance floor and area to serve our BBQ buffet style dinner.   {How intimate and special to have your special day at a property t

Zach and I want to say a SPECIAL thank you to all of you for making our grand opening such a fun night!  The people  photographed below AND ALL THOSE WE DIDN'T GET IN A PICTURE were so kind to join us in a special celebration and we can't say enough how we feel!  This was a "come and go" type of party and we know we didn't get everyone pictured, but we know you came to support us and got to talk with all of you!  To everyone who showed support at the party, showed support from day one when we opened and who continue to show your support... we are so grateful.  We want to thank our family, friends, customers, team, and our partners in business.  It is because of all of you that we are here to celebrate hard work of our expanded location & Grand Opening!
