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!

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!
