Kelly: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture




A small, intimate celebration with family calls for an extra special dress. Kelly and Dean started their journey as husband and wife on August 12, 2017 in Fort Worth with the loved ones they cherish the most. We enjoyed helping Kelly find the perfect gown that showcased her own style and personality, and it was perfect for the occasion.

THE DRESS
Kelly was looking for something simple, yet sophisticated for her wedding day. Being that this was her second wedding, she didn’t anticipate the experience, or the gown, would have been as wonderful as things turned out. Her mother set up an appointment for Kelly to browse. She tried on quite a few gowns with the help of our consultants, and ended up falling in love with Waters by Ava Claire. 


This gown fit the description of simple by first glance, but had so much more to offer. “It was a simple gown that just zipped up in the back, but it looked like so much more because of all the attention to detail and added touches.”, she said. 


Waters has a lace bodice that is accentuated with the same V-neckline in the front and back. The silky chiffon skirt created lots of movement and comfort for the bride. The sweep train and bow added a little something extra that gave this dress a more formal feel without the weight of a bustle. Kelly personalized her look with a beautiful crystal belt that cinched her waist in just the right way.  

WEDDING DETAILS


Kelly and Dean wanted their wedding day to be family-centric. It was important to them that their love for each other, Kelly’s children, Nikki and Jackson, nephew, Cameron, take center stage. They said “I Do” at Number 1 Wedding Shop Ministry, an elegant elopement venue, that created the perfect ambiance for the tone of the wedding. Kelly’s mother, Cindy, served as her wedding planner. Knowing her daughter best, she proudly selected the gift bags, catering options, decorations, cake, and the honeymoon. Everything was perfect. 


Kelly would like to give a special thanks to her parents, Cindy and Kevin, her wonderful husband, Dean, and Sue and Maddie from Ava’s Bridal Couture.

Allegra: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture

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!

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
