Hidden gem in Fort Worth for you and your guests - Embassy Suites - Fort Worth

We found a hidden gem in Downtown that we just had to share with you. The Embassy Suites Fort Worth – Downtown, offers spacious two room suites, with a bedroom and separate living space. 

How perfect is that for your out of town guests!

They offer all of our guests a cooked-to-order breakfast each morning and access into the evening Manager’s Reception with complimentary cocktails and appetizers.

If you are still on the hunt for a reception location, this would be perfect and centrally located so your guests could stay and enjoy downtown Fort Worth!

{Tips and Advice} Why having a makeup artist is so important!

We have noticed that our brides tend to leave choosing their hair/makeup team till the last minute and sometimes, they choose to let that detail go since their budget has gone overboard with other details. We cannot express how important and fabulous it is to have your makeup done by a proffesional the day of your wedding!

We just attended a wedding (actually two) this past week that Jennifer Trotter with Lip Service Makeup Artistry did our makeup and/or the brides, so we have first hand knowledge of the magic she can work! Seriously, we're trying to figure out how she can do our makeup for us everyday!

During our time with her, even though we were supposed to remain still, apparently we have very expressive faces, we asked her what the top questions were that brides asked her. Here's the scoop we got!

 

1.      I don’t like to wear too much makeup, can you make me look good, but still like myself?

(Yes!  It’s all in the technique, but I can make you look polished and more glamorous while still looking like yourself.)

2.      Can you do the whole wedding party or just me? 

(Yes!  I can do the entire bridal party if you’d like, or just you.   )

 

3.      Why should the whole wedding party get makeup done?

(If some people get makeup done and some don’t, the look of your wedding party is inconsistent…some will have too much, some not enough.  When people only book a partial, the ones who didn’t plan on it ALWAYS want it done, better to plan ahead.)

4.      What do you charge?

(It depends on what you want.  I need to know what services you need (trial run, bridal, etc.), how many in your wedding party, where we’re doing makeup. I take all of that information and then create a custom package for you with discounts built in based on the number of services you book.)

5.      What kind of makeup do you use and do you provide all the materials?

(I use mainly MAC and Smashbox cosmetics, but I also use L’Oreal and Revlon on occasion….good products come at all price points!  Not everything I use is super expensive, but it’s all high quality.)

 

To meet Jennifer and see the top 10 questions she says you should ask any potential vendor, join us at the Unbridaled Open House at Bliss Bridal Salon on June 4th from 6-8 pm!

{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.....

{Vendor Spotlight} Arden Prucha Photography

Here at Bliss, we work closely with many fantastic wedding vendors and we know how important it is to find vendors that you can really trust.  And we also know that your choice of photographer is one of the most important decisions in making your day everything that you dream it will be! Today, we are featuring one of our favorite photographers, Arden Prucha of Arden Prucha Photography!  She is the full package with an amazing talent, creativity, passion and personality!

Here are a few words from Arden, herself:

"I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I was scared of being in charge of such a monumental task… documenting one of the most important day in a couple's life! After I photographed my first wedding I was thrilled and ready to photograph more. Capturing love, bliss, romance, fun and intimate candid moments was something I've fallen for. This year we have traveled all over the nation and down south of the border to capture our clients exchanging vows, kisses, and having a blast with their friends and family. These celebrations bring joy to my heart and I am honored to be chosen to celebrate with them! I am proud and humbled to call this a job and I am grateful that Bliss has featured my work. I love this industry and I love Fort Worth!"

Here are a few examples of Arden's amazing work:

These next two images feature our very own Bliss bridal consultant, Tiffany and her handsome hubby, married recently in the beautiful Texas Hill Country!

Aren't these images stunning?  So, if you are still in need of a photographer, contact Arden Prucha Photography and let her help you document the magic of your wedding day!
