Custom Sewing

What do you do for a two story ceiling?
How do you soften this room that echos and feels so impersonal?
Is this going to cost me a fortune with the amount of fabric we will need with the 250 foot wall height?

These questions are all too familiar to those of you who live in these voluminous floor plans where the living room is the height of the second story.

The answer: it doesn't have to be intimating and unaffordable!

We help homeowners in this situation often, but rarely do we remember to take photos! Well, here is a recent 2 story room we completed... even though my camera flash did not flatter the detail of the valance in the greatroom, you can see the same valance design below that was repeated in the dining room/breakfast area.

This couple was so much fun! They moved here from Europe to be closer to their children- who doesn't love that? I loved their energy and they even served us a glass of cold water that they added bubbles to! I didn't know those machines existed. Okay, yes adding bubbles to water gets us off the topic so let's talk more about these window coverings.

We did single panels of red luxurious fabric along the sides of the valance in the great room to bring the volume down and soften the sides. The owners had tinted the windows to deflect some of the light and that was all they needed to continue to enjoy their view!

The best part... the couple picked this design themselves so they should be proud to say they had a big hand in the way the fabrics were pulled together with a compromise from the battle of the sexes of what should be. She wanted swags and he wanted boxed pleats... so we met in the middle and found something they both could enjoy!

Hinda & Gill, you are both so much fun! I wish you well in your new home and welcome to the Texas heat! :) Have a great week & enjoy your kids and grandchild!

Miranda: Feature Bride | Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique

By Anonymous
A big white barn, beautiful pink roses, and plenty of rustic-chic touches made for a perfect summer wedding. Miranda and Bryce were married on July 7, 2016 surrounded by plenty of family and friends. We were so thrilled to have helped her find a dress that tied all her wedding day details together, and absolutely stole the show.  THE DRESS We love it when a bride comes to us with an open mind while searching for the perfect gown. Her only criteria was that her gown must have either have lots of detail or have an open back. Miranda had made one previous stop to our sister store, Ava’s Bridal Couture , and said that there was just no need to look any further after her appointment at Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique . “My experience at Classy was amazing! There was no pressure, and the staff was very helpful in determining just the right one for me”, she said.    Miranda’s consultants encouraged her to try on multiple styles to help determine her tast...

Grandparents are just special people! My grandma has been in ICU since September 23rd, 2007 and it has been a long road to recovery. There was a time when all of us were not sure if she would live through this, but thankfully with prayer of loved ones.... she is now in recovery. They mean so much to me. They are the picture of what love means. They were both born in the 20's and are so young at heart still today. I admire thier strength through all of this and seeing a relationship I could not imagine growing stronger between the two of them warms my heart. Everyone is anxiously awaiting her return home with 2 dogs, daughter Stephanie, Grandpa and a new elevator Grandpa is having put in! :) This picture below was taken in the French Quarter of New Orleans when we took a trip to Louisiana several years ago to see her brother Bill. We had a great time visiting and especially the road trip just for the girls! All my love,

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 a...
