Driskill Hotel: Victorian Room and Citadel Opening

Last week I attended the historic Driskill Hotel opening of their two event rooms: The Victorian and the Citadel. These rooms are the yin and yang of decor. The Citadel is very urban lounge in style. It features red textured fabrics, velvet black and white accents throughout. I love that there is an upper balcony as well for guest to eat, talk or enjoy the scenery from above. This room is on the main level of the hotel and is adjacent to the hotel cafe and bakery. You can see the picture I took from the upper balcony. I really loved their presentation of food and beverage. They turned the simple... into sassy.

Past The upstairs Mezanine of the hotel is the Victorian Room. It is very sweet and inocent, but has a high level of class. Does this sound like a bride you know? It is surprisingly one of thier lowest price point room rates even though it does not miss a single detail with its elegant golds, ivorys and light shades of romance. :) It was so hard to decide which room I liked more because they were literally so different from one another that they could easily be your favorite. Given that it was such a great night, I got to see lots of new and familiar faces from the wedding industry. It was great to see everyone and meet a few new people in the business that I have been wanting to put a face to a name!

Miranda: Feature Bride | Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique

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...
