{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!

{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.....

{Fashion Updates} Markets, Designers and New Friends, Oh My!

What a whirlwind weekend at market we had! Dallas Market Center was all a buzz with designers and buyers in all areas of retail. We had to try really hard not to get distracted with all the fun! (still contemplating going back to pick up a few items!)


We had a great time chatting with some old friends, making new ones and a great surprise to meet the wonderful Jaime from Bella Flora in the middle of the day! She popped over to pick up a swatch for one of our projects together!

One fab gal that we had the pleasure of chatting with was our rep from Intuzuri (http://www.intuzuri.com/)! You know we have an obsession with all things from over the pond and the gowns from Intuzuri are the newest addition to our collection! We can't wait to show our brides this fabulous collection of lace gowns with intricate details and one super low back!






Another great find was some gorgeous mother's gowns and we do mean gorgeous! Just look at the beadwork on this one shoulder metallic number! (www.cameronblake.com)



Of course, we stopped in to see Justin Alexander, Sincerity Bridal and Mori Lee. Simple classic styles that Audrey Hepburn would die over, lace and peplum skirts are taking front stage and the bridesmaids gowns are red carpet worthy! We almost ordered one to wear ourselves!

The biggest news of the market is that along with the addition of Intuzuri, we will be offering our brides two new additional designers! Look for upcoming posts with all the details!

{Venue Spotlight} The Ashton Depot, Fort Worth

Ashton Depot Catering & Events

The historic Ashton Depot (originally the Santa Fe Depot) was opened on March 1, 1899 in response to a growing demand for railroad service in Fort Worth. It has both witnessed and contributed to over a century of Texas memories. Built during a time when train lines were expanding cross- country and passenger travel was heavy, the depot served as a relief for nearby stations and a victory in local architectural design. In the early days, passengers traveled for necessity, as trains or wagons were the primary modes of transportation, but by the 1920's, rail stations were “roaring,” as was the rest of the country. Oil was booming, wealth abounded, and people began using train travel for leisure purposes.
In 1938 the depot was renovated and “modernized” as part of an extensive program undertaken by the Fort Worth Union Passenger Station and the Santa Fe Railroad. The station served several lines until 1960, when the Santa Fe became the sole railroad using the facility.  Amtrak operated passenger rail service out of the station between 1973 and 1995. Additionally, the depot was listed both in the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1970.

Set-up with Band
Today, the neoclassical Beaux Arts-Style terminal has been restored to its original beauty and distinctiveness. The original stained glass windows, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and marble floors are stunning, emanating an atmosphere of effortless style and grace. Although the name of the architect remains a mystery, we do know that the structure was built by the contracting firm of Smith and Bardon during the late 1800's.

Now a full service event venue, The Ashton Depot boasts a creative and talented culinary team led by Executive Chef Cesar Gallegos.  Whether you are hosting an engagement party, rehearsal dinner or ceremony and wedding reception, The Ashton Depot is a beautiful and unique choice.
