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.
