{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.....

{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.
