Lisa + Brandon's Love Story

By

Brandon and Lisa Turner were married this year.  Our staff had the BEST time getting to know her, her adorable Mom, and her sweet friends too!  I hope Lisa's love story will give inspiration to other brides planning their day too.  Lisa and Brandon's love story began when they met online through eHarmony.  Their wedding was an indoor ceremoney in the small banquet room at the Las Colinas Country Club.  "Our reception followed immediately in the grand ballroom of the Las Colinas Country Club.  It was a beautiful venue with an amazing view of Dallas and the golf course."
As the wedding planning came together, Lisa and Brandon realized that planning a wedding where the majority of your guests will be flying in from out of state was fairly stressful, but they got through it together.  "I think the most fun we had was doing the engagement photos and when I did my bridal portraits.  I also had a hard time finding a dress - tried on millions (so it seems) but when I finally put THE dress on, it felt very real for the first time and it was SO exciting!"  
Many brides out there can relate to Lisa's dress shopping experience, but we are SO happy she found the perfect dress to marry Brandon in at Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique.  "Sue was really there for us in a time of need/desperation.  I bought a dress online and though it came just as we ordered, I just didn't have the feeling in it.  My grandfather passed away 1 month before the wedding and we went back to Classy Concepts.  Sue squeezed us in and we were able to find THE dress.  It fit like a glove and it put me back in the spirit [of the wedding] for sure!"  




Lisa learned during her wedding planning that the best advice she can give a new bride is to create a wedding day timeline for your vendors and bridal party.  It will ensure you are able to spend enough time on each part of your day.  "Don't be afraid to be firm on your timeline.  My coordinator got off track and it threw the rest of our evening off."  

Their first dance was a song was "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caliait.  After getting to know Lisa during her fittings and her feelings for Brandon, we know this song was truly fitting of the adoration they have for one another!

After the wedding day, the two newlyweds capped of their "wedding day high" with an Alaskan cruise honeymoon! "We spent 2 days in Seattle and then set sail.  It was stunning and the weather was amazing.  We enjoyed the cooler weather and all the adventures we went on.  I can't say that we relaxed much on our honeymoon, but we definitely experienced once in a lifetime opportunities!" As many of our newlyweds, life after the wedding seems so long ago after months of planning, but Brandon and Lisa have finally settled into their first home they purchased 2 months before the wedding day.  Today, they finally have time to decorate and unpack things to make their house a home.  "We are fostering a super sweet doggy right now, so that puts us at 3 furr babies total until we find our foster a forever home.  Eventually we hope to have little ones running around here too! :)"   One of the MANY things we appreciate about Lisa is how genuine and open she is to others.  She opened her heart to our staff and in turn formed a friendship that gave us memories to last forever.  Lisa, you and your Mom have really made a sweet impression on me and I wish you, your marriage and your family all of life's best!  We can't wait to see little Brandon's and Lisa's running around the bridal salon!  We need a flower girl or ring bearer "Turner" real soon! No pressure :)
God Bless this Marriage today and always!
Love, Sue and the Ladies of Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique

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,

Amy's Wedding Bliss

By
Amy found us through her florist- Justin Roses of Round Rock. She was looking for a particular bridesmaid dress that she loved! Amy's wedding was at Reunion Ranch of Liberty Hill. I love to tell about the stories that are unique as hers. She road up to her wedding ceremony on horseback... very Julia Roberts! The flowers were amazing (As you can see) and I have to give kudos to Nestecha at Justin Roses. Everything I see of her work is fantastic, but most of all... ever bride that is using her tells me only great things. A true sign of a good business woman- integrity and customer service. Contact their flower shop at 512-697-9777 and you can see more about Justin Roses as www.justinroses.com Her bridesmaids were beautiful. They each rented this "little black dress" that we carry in our store. Amy, thank you for your business, but most importantly we had a lot of fun! I was so glad to get your pictures so I could blog them and share! Thank you for the revi...
