Lauren: Feature Bride | Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique



Picture white hydrangeas, thistle, eucalyptus, a stunning bride, handsome groom, chicken fried steak, and all things cowboy. Lauren and Patrick said, “I Do” in true Texas style on October 14, 2017 in Fort Worth. She was searching for the perfect gown to compliment her cowboy chic theme, and all agreed, she did! 

THE DRESS
Lauren was in search of a gown that was classic and timeless. She originally insisted on a gown with sleeves. By keeping an open mind and trusting our staff at Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique, her perfect dress was not what she expected! This Allure Bridals’ strapless beauty completely took her by surprise, and it was clear that this was her dress. “I think the ladies at Classy Concepts really know what will look best. Keeping an open mind made such a difference for me!”, she said.  

We love this fit-and-flare dress for her, because it’s simplistic details take center stage. The luxe taffeta is draped so elegantly as it floats throughout the European sweetheart neckline all the way down to the bubble hemline. It’s finished off with a tasteful train that left a lasting impression as Lauren walked down the aisle to meet the man of her dreams. 

WEDDING DETAILS
Lauren and Patrick selected the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame for their ceremony and reception. An intimate ceremony was held inside, and guests were able to enjoy the cultural district ambiance as they danced the night away outside around the outdoor fountain. 

For Lauren, sharing this special day with friends and family from all over the country, is a moment that will be cherished forever. Special memories and details were sprinkled throughout the day, and it really was a family affair. Her uncle, Jim, performed the ceremony, and the arrangement of the bridal party was especially meaningful. Patrick’s children, Mackenzie and Adam, walk down the aisle with his father, Mike. Patrick’s uncle, Bill, was his attendant, while Lauren’s brother, Cade, escorted her down the aisle.  Lauren was also so proud to have her nieces, Embrey and Hadley, in the bridal party.

 Lauren and Patrick put special thought into every single detail of their wedding day. Several finishing touches from Ava’s Bridal Couture’s rental selection were added to further compliment the theme. Wine barrels were used to create their alter space in the museum. A rustic ladder was selected to display their spice jar favors, and easels used for various purposes throughout the ceremony and reception. The metal “LOVE” sign display added another extra rustic touch, and their delicious petit fours were presented on a few of our many display trays. “I cannot praise Sue and all the staff at Ava’s and Classy Concepts enough.”, Lauren said. 

Lauren and Patrick would like to give a special thank you to Tommy Morton, of the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, Jo Hatchell, Ashley Davis, and Janet Settle for serving as the day-of coordinators, and their parents and families for being there to support them on this very special day.

Miranda: Feature Bride | Classy Concepts Bridal Boutique

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

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! I was so glad to get your pictures so I could blog them and share! Thank you for the revi...
