What are we up to in the Alterations Department?

Our gorgeous brides have us busy busy busy this time of year pumping out amazing designs and creativity in the Alterations Department! Thank goodness for our team of professional tailors who each have their background and specialty. LOVE working with brides who push our creativity to the max with the requests you ladies are sending our way.

No two brides are EVER alike at Ava's Bridal Couture and Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique! That's what makes this part of our job so exciting and rewarding. One of the biggest requests we are seeing is sleeves. Not just full length sleeves, but all sorts of styles that are creative and fun to transform a strapless dress into a masterpiece.

One of the biggest questions we get asked in store is "When should I begin my alterations?"
If you are a plan ahead gal like me, start them when you have reached your goal weight and do not plan to fluctuate -OR- 3 months before your need by date (which ever comes first).

3 months ahead gives you a step ahead by planning early. Planning ahead of schedule is never a bad way to get ready for your wedding if you can! When you are ready to book, give us a call at Ava's Bridal Couture, Fort Worth 817-732-4457 and at Classy Concepts Bridal, Mansfield 817-473-2100.

Other brides will book their first fitting 2 months before the need by date. This works well as well and works well for brides who do not want to plan 3 months ahead. It can get short on time though because the bride is detailing her catering, RSVP, name cards and final details that can be time consuming. Hang in there, you are doing a great job handing work, life, love and wedding plans!

I am proud of each of you who are taking each task one at a time because you have so many options now and so many creative ways of brainstorming your wedding day planning - it's unreal how many options brides have today!

If you are waiting till the last minute to lose weight or to reach a goal you have for yourself, we can accommodate a rush order that is due within 30 days of your need by date with a small rush fee. This allows you to start your alterations closer to the wedding day.

Sincerely,
SS

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
