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 sheath gown showcases lace from top to bottom
in a delicate design. The cap sleeves sit ever so delicately on the shoulders,
and compliment the V-neckline. The back of this gown creates a striking look
with a low back and lace scalloped train. We suggested swapping the ivory
underlay for champagne to make the lace really pop and add a custom touch to
Allegra’s gown. She was so pleased to have found a gown that matched her style
so closely. Most importantly, she said, “I could move in it very easily and it
was soft. I’m really big on comfort and had no problems walking around,
sitting, or dancing!”.
WEDDING DETAILS
The couple’s wedding theme can best be described as organic
minimalist. From the flower selection to the wedding venues, and details on
Allegra’s gown, this theme was carried out perfectly. Family and tradition are
very important to Allegra and Cesar, so they took their time to ensure that
both were represented all throughout the day. Holy Family Catholic Church in Fort Worth was the site of their ceremony. It was
a beautiful full mass that represented the covenant of marriage and their love
for each other. The couple and their guests then celebrated their union at Times Ten Cellars for a
reception. Cesar’s family is from Mexico, so they couldn’t think of a better
way to kick off the party then with some Mariachi.
Though the day was perfect, they were missing one very
special guest; Allegra’s father. He passed away prior to the wedding, but was
still very much there in spirit. Cesar was able to track down a 1970s BMW 2002,
an identical match to the one her dad drove for over 20 years. Allegra had so
many fond memories from her childhood riding in her dad’s car, and they all
came flooding back that day. She was so touched that Cesar spent all that time
to ensure that her Dad was honored in such a special way. It was the perfect
getaway car at the end of the evening.
