Behind the Seams

What a great way to start off 2014 than with a feature from Style Me Pretty!  We love this bridal resource and so excited when one of our bridal gowns are featured.  Borrowed and Blue Wedding and Event Planning created this styled shoot and was highlighted in the New Year's Eve Post! We love working with Britni Ramsey from Borrowed and Blue and love the look she created.  The bridal gown used in this photo session is part of our Ava Claire Collection.  It features a "tear away skirt" which has a zipper in the train of the dress to reveal a short dress from within the gown to compliment the "party theme" of New Years so well! This gown can also be paired with boots and lace accessories/belt to give our Fort Worth and Mansfield brides a rustic vintage look for the ceremony AND reception twist to keep your guests on their toes Here is the awesome video of the shoot https://vimeo.com/80945875 Here is the feature on Style Me Pretty http://www.stylemepretty....

How can  you do something for your wedding planning today without getting in the car on these icy roads?  Forget trying to gather up your besties/mom in the scariness of other crazy drivers running into you... Why not walk to a pretty area in your neighborhood, a park nearby or somewhere close by and take an awesome Christmas photo or something you can cherish while the backdrop is white?  Even though this is NOT snow... LOL... it sure looks like snow!  It would make a beautiful engagement/Christmas picture!! You can shop for your wedding dress on Sunday but this snow is going to be gone by Monday :) Get bundled up with lots of cute layers and ta a sweet shot like the one we shared from KD Photography of our gorgeous Wifey Hope Simpson!!! Isn't she the cutest?

Let's start this weekend off right with this special feature of a beautiful bride and groom! Congratulations to Madeline and Gerald Ewbanks who recently said I DO! Gerald's hometown is Mansfield, but the couple attended Texas Christian University and live in the Fort Worth area.  Madeline has become a dear friend to all of us in the bridal salon and were THRILLED to get to know her and her mom better through her sister Katherine who recommended CCBB when Madeline got engaged.  We were her first and only bridal salon to shop at as she found "The Dress" on the first appointment and didn't have the need to go elsewhere- we love that! She was SO happy in her dress and didn't want to take it off! During her fittings, Madeline got in the best shape through marathon training and looked her absolute BEST on her special day!!! We are thrilled to see this couple join in marriage to begin the best years of their life as a family from this day forward.  Thank yo...

Congratulations Manny and Jesse! Congratulations Ashley and Chris! Congratulations Kim and Donnie! Congratulations Ashlea and Devin! It's awesome to see our brides shine on their special day, but thier love story has just begun! We are thrilled to see our brides earn their "wifey status" after they say I DO.  What is better than referring to your best friend as: my hubby, husband, the hubs?  :) We are always excited to see any of our brides share pictures of their milestones along the journey! Thank you for letting us enjoy the friendship we made when you said Yes to the Dress at CCBB and Ava's Bridal! Here are some of our brides from CCBB that we want to wish a "Happy Anniversary!" xo, your friends at CCBB

We want to wish this very special bride a happy 1st Anniversary!  In wishing you another great year of wedded bliss, we would love to spotlight Razan and Erik's special day.  Enjoy the love story that continues after the dress.... Let's go down memory lane, shall we? :) Erik and Razan met over 9 years ago at a friend's parent's house.  They were there for different reasons, saw each other and were instantly attracted!  Erik asked to take her to see a movie and they were both hooked after that date!! (adorable) When planning their wedding, the happy couple decided on The Historic Anderson Building in Grand Prairie, TX.  "The venue is beautiful and established in 1915.  It has a great history, including being a nightclub in the roaring 1920's!" recalls Razan.  "It has a rich decor of wood grain and beautiful tapestry throughout, and the owner, Juan Dellepiane has maintained and restored it to a timeless quality.  We fell in love with it after se...
