Wednesday Wedding Wishes, Num. 3


Something we keep hearing over and over again is, "There aren't any great bridesmaids dresses. Where should we go to find them? I want something my girls will wear again..." Well, we've found a fun solution!! TwoBirds Bridesmaid is a company that has one (1, uno, one) dress they sell. However, the twist is there are so many different ways to wear this one-of-a-kind dress. TwoBirds has been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Martha Stewart....just to name a few. If you are a bride looking for a unique dress for your girls, check this one out. It comes in many colors. The really cool thing about these dresses (because the devil is in the details) is that you can get each dress monogrammed with the girls initials. And if you want to be super cute, the guys can get matching ties and they can be monogrammed, as well. Oh, your party will be dressed to the nines!!

You can either order the dresses through TwoBird's website or if you are in Dallas, you can go to Bella Bridesmaid and try one on for yourself!! How great is that? Bella Bridesmaid- 3015 State Street #121, Dallas, TX or call 214.999.9311 to set up an appointment.

Wednesday Wedding Wishes, Num. 2


One popular question we get is where to find good stamps for wedding invitations.  Depending on the style of your wedding, there are quite a few options.  One fun option is to create your own stamps on zazzle.com.  You can upload an engagement picture (after getting approval from your photographer, of course) or a great scenic picture from where you got engaged...you get the "picture."  :)  Another fun option, as seen in the picture above, is to go to a local stamp shop and purchase a collection of vintage stamps in your wedding colors.  It tends to be a little more expensive but it definitely leaves a statement on your envelope.  Just imagine beautiful calligraphy and gorgeous vintage stamps.... how wonderful!!  You can find vintage stamps by looking online through google or you can check out Champion Stamps or Ebay!  

Wishing you a happy day!!

Our team put our heads together and decided that we are busting at the wedding seams with information to share with our readers.... so what better way than to devote a day of the week for wedding trends, tips, and things to be posted.  

Please feel free to email us with any ideas, new products developed, questions or anything else and we will answer by devoting a "Wednesday Wedding Wish" to your topic.  Dallas is a city full of new things, fun ideas, stores, fashion....you name it and we felt there needed to be a site that is focused on getting these "things" out to you, our fashion forward bride!  

A Featured Four Season's Wedding


Our team did a beautiful wedding that was featured on Style Me Pretty a few months ago and we forgot to share it with you!!  We are always excited to be featured in magazines or fun websites.  As we've said before.... Style Me Pretty is (in our mind) the BEST nationwide wedding blog out there.  So we are very excited when they chose to feature one of our weddings.   Thank you, SMP, for featuring Julie and David's wonderful wedding!!

David and Julie were wonderful to work with.... not only because they trusted us to do what we do best but because they loved new ideas and thinking outside the box.  As you can see from the pictures, it was a very FUN wedding!  The wedding ceremony took place in Plano, Texas, as Prestonwood Baptist Church in the chapel.  The reception took place at the Four Season's Resort and Spa in Irving, Texas.  The "four seasons" played a role in their relationship, engagement and so it seemed perfect to actually have their wedding at the Four Season's Resort.  Please check out the feature to see how the "four seasons" played out for the bride and groom.... click here to see more!! 

The wonderful vendors we worked with...
Florist. Bella Flora of Dallas
Photographer. F8 Studio
Rentals. RSVP Soiree 
Linens. BBJ Linens
Band. Bulletproof
