Honeymoon Hot Spot: Turks & Caicos

By
 For any of you looking for a beautiful, quiet and secluded place to honeymoon, check out Turks and Caicos.  Zach and I read on The Knot that this was the top places for honeymooners because of it's private, safe beaches, great dining/entertainment and beautiful island surroundings.
The most private, uninhabited beaches and scenery in the Caribbean.   
TCI reminded us a lot of Kaui, Hawaii which is where we spent our honeymoon years ago.  The buildings weren't built up and the pace of the island was "Island Time".  Don't expect to have the technology on the island that you have back home.  They lost internet connection on the entire island one of the days we were there and the entire place was removed from the world wide web. :)  It could be our one day experience, but I didn't mind being separated from the real world for a few days or so.

The best fine dining you can find!  We ate at several amazing restaurants while in our stay.  One of the attractions we read in our welcome magazine was the dining experience on TCI.   Our top 3 favorite restaurants were all recommended to us so we will share them with you:  Bay Bistro  is near the resort we stayed at along the beach front was a smaller restaurant, but we love that about it.  The good was amazing, of course, but the chef came out to greet tables when he wasn't busy and I loved that personal touch.  Our 2nd favorite dinner spot was Mango Reef  which was another restaurant that was on the water and they have tables that over look the ocean and tables that are ocean front.  The menu is the same either way so we highly recommend it.  It was never crowded... EVER... so this never created any problems while we were there.  Our all time favorite place was Coco Bistro this restaurant was off the main tourist area and set among a palm tree garden.  The lighting, scenery, food, service... all unmatched.  We usually ate so much that we didn't really have dessert, but here we had to keep going even though we were so stuffed!
So much to see and experience:   
We did a whole lot of nothing while we were there... you know, things like: reading on the beach, sleeping on the beach, swimming  floating in the ocean, watching people walk by, walking on the beach, eating on the beach, etc.  It was the best "nothing" I have done in a long time.  We did do some diving, snorkeling  parasailing, kayaking and boating while we were there... all highly recommended!  The parasailing was awesome because we could see just how narrow the islands were and from up there you can get perspective.  If any of you have any questions about visiting TCI, let me know and I would be happy to answer any questions!
All my best, Sue

Allegra: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture

By Anonymous
A beautiful Catholic wedding with traditional Mexican flair best describes Allegra and Cesar’s wedding day. They said, “I Do” on May 28, 2016, and will forever cherish the memories made with their family and friends. Allegra had a vision for her wedding day, and it was our job to help her find a gown that would complement every other detail.  THE DRESS  After an unsuccessful bridal appointment at another shop, Allegra found herself at Ava’s. Feeling a bit discouraged, she explained her wants and needs to her consultant. She was looking for an all lace gown, white or off-white in color, a decent train, and some sort of sleeve. Kelly, her consultant, pulled several styles for Allegra, keeping her requests in mind, and throwing in a few other styles to reinforce her original requests. Allegra was pleasantly surprised to have loved a number of these gowns, but still reverted to a gown that almost matched her vision exactly; Allure Bridals’ Style #2800. This gorgeous s

Happy Mother's Day Wifey's!

One of the oh so many things I love about bridal shop happenings... the meaningful relationships. We meet a bride, she buys her wedding dress... the end, right? I sure hope not! Over the past 12 years in business, I have met some of the most amazing men and women who were once customers at some point in time.  They definitely bought more than "just a dress" or "just a service".  We make so many memories together, form a relationship and that relationship is so special!  No two customers are ever alike. You would think after 12 years it would get old.  Would it be the same day after day?  Year after year?  Same old stories, same old song and dance? Thankfully for me, it doesn't! Today's blog, I am thinking of all of our past brides who became a wifey after saying "I Do".  Perhaps the journey as a wife means you want to become a mom. Maybe you have decided you want a family with kiddos...  Maybe you are marrying into a family with children... Maybe y

New Building Under Construction Nearby!

By
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 and have grown our onl
