Aly: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture

By Anonymous


Sun, sand, and the Galveston coast made for a perfect combination for our bride Aly. She married her husband, Nic, on March 26, 2016, and it was everything she’s dreamed of. Aly was searching for the perfect dress with a beachy yet classy feel, and we think she nailed it!

THE DRESS
After researching online, Aly was convinced she wanted a gown from Maggie Sottero. Fortunately for her, we carry numerous styles from top designers, including Maggie Sottero. Our consultants worked quickly to pull the styles that fit her description and preferences. Aly said yes to the lovely Sandrina by Sottero & Midgley.
There are so many reasons why we love this ivory gown! Its simple yet intricate Swiss dot lace with champagne undertones make for a stunning selection. The delicate straps pair nicely with her beach setting and helped make the gown comfortable. The slim A-line skirt adds allowed plenty of movement in the breeze, while the plunging back finished her look with a dramatic but not over-the-top touch.
Aly had initially pictured her dream dress a little differently, but once she tried this style on, she fell in love. It ended up being better than she could have expected. “This style with the mid length train was perfect for the trip down the aisle outside and then bustled up nicely so we could dance the night away”, she said. 

WEDDING DETAILS
Aly and Nic met at college in Galveston, so it was important to them to start the next chapter in their life in the location where it all began. The Hotel Galvez offered the setting and accommodations they wanted, while also being a smart pick in the event of inclement weather on the coast. Their beach elegant theme was executed by Aly’s mom and sister, both event planners. Although the location of the wedding wasn’t on the beach, the theme included special touches inspired by the coast. From the flower selection to the rest of the décor and details, everything was better than the happy couple envisioned.  
Aly and Nic would like to extend a special thank you to her family and amazing friends who helped make their special day unforgettable. Living in D.C. and planning a wedding in Texas is no small feat. They couldn’t have done it without all of you!

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
