{Thank You Notes} Lauren B

We are always so thrilled to receive pictures from our brides. Lauren sent us a picture from her wedding day and a sweet note that totally made our day! Enjoy!



Hello!
 
I purchased my dress from Bliss back in September of 2012 when I had my October wedding and I just remembered that when I purchased it, y'all mentioned sending pictures of me in on the big day! I've attached an image that I thought represented the dress well!

Thanks again for providing the perfect dress for me! It really was perfect.

{Tips, Tricks & Advice} StoryMix - compiled wedding video

We learned about one of the coolest things last week! StoryMix Media is an app that your wedding guests use to capture all those special moments they day of your wedding. The app then stores all the files in one place for you to enjoy and they will even compile all the footage into a wedding video.

 
Now, in no way do we think this replaces a videographer at your wedding. They are trained proffesionals that understand lighting, sound and the right place to be at the right time. However, we do think this is a good addition to your fabulous wedding video!

{Venue Spotlight} Hollow Hill Event Center

On March 28th, we had the pleasure of participating in the open house at Hollow Hills Farm and Event Center. Going to a new venue, you never know what to expect and we were amazed at the details the Getcher family thought of!

 
Hollow Hill Farm was established by David and Jean Gechter in April 1983.
 
 
 
 It was originally a part of the Tucker Family dairy farm. Hollow Hill is still a working farm – growing and baling coastal hay at this time. The land has been lovingly tended by the Gechter's over the years, and in recent years they wanted to share their beautiful farm with the world.

 
The decision to open the farm up as an event center was born, and the progress started almost immediately. David has always had a love of building things, and has created many different "vignette" style areas at the Farm including the Great Hall, Old Town, The Hen House (Bridal Suite), The Bunk House (Grooms Suite), Pavilion, Barn and Pecan Grove Ceremony area complete with an old wood cross.
 
 
 It is a place of love, and they share that with everyone who comes out, as you know. Right now the farm is a bustle with a variety of wildflowers, including Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, Black-eyed Susans, and Mexican Hat. Its just a lovely place to visit, and hold an event.
 
 
 
 
We just loved the Pecan Orchard lit up at night!

{New Designer Announcement} Casablanca Bridal

We are super excited to announce the addition of Casablanca Bridal to the designers available at Bliss!



Casablanca Bridal was established in 1997 and has since become one of the fastest growing, well known manufacturers of bridal gowns in the bridal industry.




Casablanca is committed to designing bridal gowns that reflect the quality and attention to detail they are known for.  Every Casablanca gown is made to order one at a time and although that extends the order time for each gown, it also allows for unparalleled customizaion.



As with most bridal designers, Casablanca discourages the sale of thier gowns over the Internet as most are counterfeit or sub par quality. In support for small business in America, they recommend that you visit and place your order with a full service bridal salon that can provide you with the personal service and attention that each bride deserves.




View the latest collections on their website and keep an eye on our Facebook page in September for the arrivals of these stunning gowns!

{Vendor Spotlight} Blossoms on the Bricks

Spring is finally here (!!!! super excited about this!!!!) and we thought it was perfect that this week's Vendor Spotlight was for our friends over at Blossoms on the Bricks! Every Friday, The Bliss Girls look forward to seeing what BotB will bring us to pretty up our front desk! Check out what we had this week....




Blossoms on the Bricks is a super cute flower shoppe located on "the bricks" of Camp Bowie just a few blocks from our salon. From everyday bouquets (thank you, get well, Love You) to full service weddings (see amazing pictures below!), Darla and her staff can take care of your floral bloom dreams! They have over 17 years experience in design and go out of their way to take care of each and every customer.



You probably recognize the super fantabulous dispays that Darla and her crew put together outside the flower shop to display their creative genius. We were so proud of them this past October when they had their open house and ribbon cutting ceremony. (Opening day photos by p31eleven Photography)



We were so excited to see that one of our brides this past weekend (Congrats Naomi!) used Blossoms on the Bricks for her wedding! The theme was lavendar and lace. Here are a few pics from the wedding.....
