Behind the Seams

We got the sweetest note from one of our newleywed couples this week and I wanted to congratulate Bryan and Joyce who were married february 22nd, 2009. There pictures turned out so beautiful and we are so happy for them! Here is what they had to say: "We just wanted to write in to let everyone know how much we appreciate everything that was done for us to make our wedding day special. The people at the shop were amazing (especially Janet!), the wedding dress and tux looked phenomenal, and our day went perfectly. Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect, and for taking off a lot of the stress that comes along with everything. We can't recommend the shop enough, to anyone and everyone who asks us! Thank you so much for everything! We've included some pictures of our day. " The second picture is Joyce with her maid of honor. Joyce wore a beautiful modified sweetheart princess gown with draped taffeta skirt and crystal detailing in silver embroidery t

LISA ANN WUENSCHE won the coveted title of Miss Thorndale on June 21, 2009. The pageant was held in Thorndale and benefits scholarship, community involvement and other activities for young women as Lisa. This 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OF KARL AND SHERRY WUENSCHE was thrilled to have won the title though there were 5 other young ladies competing for Miss Thorndale. One of the many awards Lisa took home that evening was "Best Dressed!" which made me smile because she was dressed in a gown from Classy Concepts. She went along with the theme of the pageant when she selected this animal print style gown in black and white with cavier beading along the halter neckline and empire waist. Lisa, we are very proud of you for your hard work and for the success in your future! Best of luck to you in future competitions and for the fun that is yet to come! -The Classy Concepts Team

Congratulations to Anndreya and Ross who were married last month at Vintage Villas of Austin, TX. Such a beautiful bride and happy couple! It was a true pleasure to work with you and your family for your wedding. Happy honeymooning! These beautiful photos were taken by The Nichols of Austin, TX (A Husband and Wife Company) They do GREAT work!

Anndreya and I met at our bridal shop in Austin, TX and I just met with her sister Alexis who met me in Mansfield, TX today for her bridesmaid dress fitting. They are so adorable as sisters and what is even more exciting for them and their family is that they are both getting married this year! Anndreya's wedding is in Austin on May 1st and I can't wait for her to share the day of bliss with her new soon-to-be Husband! Alexis is getting married in November of this year so whew... lots of things for their family going on! Anndreya is an amazing woman inside and out and from meeting her- you can easily tell she is a pure, geniune person. I loved seeing her each time she came in and most of all getting to meet her, her mom and now her sister. Please enjoy these BEAUTIFUL photos taken by her photographer The Nichols Team which you can view more at: http://thenicholsblog.com/ Obviously, The Nichols Team did an amazing job with these portraits- I can only imagine how beautifu

Today, I went to the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce Women's Division Luncheon and met some fantastic ladies. I was a guest of the Mansfield Family Health Center, but Dr. Amin and Liza (from the health center) knew that I wanted to make my way there for Classy Concepts. The lunch was held at the Walnut Creek Country Club, but the best part of the meeting was they were dispersing the $21,000.00 they raised last year during the 2008 Style Show and the 2008 Tour of homes. All of the money they raise goes to other non-profit organizations in Mansfield or to scholarships for Mansfield Seniors.

We have 4 new bridal gowns  Friday for our showroom. Be the first to try them on and enjoy these beautiful gowns!

We have 2 very special gowns that we wnat to announce new arrival in our store! This first dress is in bridal satin white and is "Kelley". Here is "Kelley" in full front view. The second dress you see here is "Shannon". This diamond white bridal taffeta is gorgeous the way the fabric drapes along the skirt in fullness... so romantic! The train is the perfect length as well and can be bustled to fit your style. 

Christie sent these pictures today and we wanted to acknowledge her special day! She recently got married a few weeks ago and  gown in a pick up style skirt from Raylia Designs. It was an Antique Gold fabric with lace mixed in with a textured taffeta fabric. The corset back was so beautiful and we are so happy for her! She worked with Janet and sent her a note saying: "I'm attaching some pictures from the wedding so you can see how beautiful the dress was! Thanks for everything!" Congratulations Christie and to your new husband! We wish you a life of loving memories together. The Classy Concepts Team

Everyone needs to know a good photographer. You never know when something life changing like an engagement, wedding or new baby can really need the talent of a skilled professional until you go through that moment and have a great photographer. Meet Sueanne Gatlin and Vikas Agarwal. They are the co-owner/operators of SolarHalo Photography: http://www.solarhalo.com/ I have known them for quite some time through the industry and have had a great experience just knowing them professionally. Recently, I worked with them on our personal wedding and they did an amazing job with our photography. (Here is a picture they took of us on our wedding day.) Sueanne and Vikas work as a team and are always there as a team for everything. Zach and I did our engagement photos in downtown Austin one summer and they met us at 7am just so they could make sure our little faces weren't drenched with sweat from the hot Texas sun. Then, they scoped out the areas for me that I wanted to take pict
