Allegra: Feature Bride | Ava's Bridal Couture

By Anonymous


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.

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

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!
