Master Calligrapher and Hand Engraver, Ken Brown will be at various Market Street locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area over the next couple of weeks for an exciting event! Mr. Brown will etch four words of your choice and the event year for no charge on any bottle of fine wine purchased at Market Street.

His wine bottles are legendary and would be a thoughtful keepsake for your sweetheart on Valentines Day. They would be a perfect thank-you gift for your bridal shower hostess or members of your wedding party. Or think about presenting one of these exquisite bottles to your parents or new in-laws as a token of gratitude for paying for your dream wedding!

Here’s the fine print…value of wine must be $9.99 or higher and there is a limit of 3 bottles maximum per household. Champagne and sparking wines are excluded.

Just found this beautiful jewelry at Modest Peach. Their collection includes earrings, necklace, rings and bracelets that any bride would love! Or they would make great bridesmaid gifts as well. The bonus…their pricing is as fabulous as their styling.

You won’t want to miss this Soiree! Space is limited, so RSVP to the girls at The Wedding Party Studio today. Call 214.296.4908 or email info@twpstudio.com.

If you are a wine enthusiast, or perhaps already have an established home with all the pots, pans, and gadgets you need think about registering for a selection of wines to stock your bar.  At Bottlenotes you can select your favorite vintages and store them on your wish list, or receive recommendations from their staff and other readers.  

Don’t worry, Bottlenotes isn’t a wine snob site.  They cater to all levels of wine knowledge and their prices begin with an under $15 category (of course they do go up over $150 also.)

If you are hosting a shower for a bride to be, or perhaps a couples shower – why not consider throwing a Stock The Bar themed event. Bottlenotes offers a Barware Bridal Shower Kit ($124.99). Start the night with a glass of Champagne, then taste four delicious wines from around the world. While the bride-to-be opens presents with a “barware” theme, the guests can keep on sipping, enjoying the festivities while wine-tasting.
 The kit includes 5 wonderful wines, wine tasting notes, wine tasting mats, cocktail napkins, and gift certificates for each attendee. They will even send a guide with recommended cheese pairings. Each kit serves 10. 
If you would like even more personalization they are happy to help! Simply email bridalshowers@bottlenotes.com.

You’ve asked your nearest and dearest friends to do you the honor being a part of one of the biggest days in your life. Choosing bridesmaids dresses that will be flattering to multiple body types and skin tones can be a challenge.  We are firm believers that “garanimal” bridesmaid dresses are not a necessary.  It’s perfectly acceptable to outfit your maids in complimentary styles or colors, just make sure that something ties them all together – whether it is color or silhouette.  Beyond that, choose a style that makes each girl comfortable.   You want to make sure they look beautiful in the your photos and the best way to achieve that look is to let them exude confident happiness!  

We love Lynn Lugo for bridesmaid dresses that are a little out of the ordinary!  The silk bridesmaid collection comes in an extensive range of colors and silhouettes ranging from street length to tea length to full length.  You can even create your own styles.  Locally, you can view the Lynn Lugo styles at Bella Bridesmaid.

Another tip for a beautiful and happy bridesmaid…arrange to have her hair and makeup done on wedding day.  One of our favorites in the Dallas | Fort Worth area, Haute Facade,  creates red carpet hair and flawless faces!   They have a unique philosophy for wedding day hair and make-up…wanting the focus to be your face! Not the makeup! They want your hair to look romantic and classic, not like oragami and not prom-like. Services start at $139 for hair AND makeup providing affordability that allows you to include your whole bridal party!

We love this unique Ring Bearer Bowl™ from Paloma’s Nest.   You can customize the little white ceramic bowl with a special wording, a scripture verse, a line from a poem or simply your names and wedding date.  Each bowl measures 3.5 inches in diameter and will fit perfectly into the hand of your ring bearer.  It  comes with a silky cotton cord laced through two holes near the top rim to safely hold your rings during the ceremony.  You may chose to replace the cord with a ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colors.

We think this would make a perfect heirloom that could be passed to your children or other family members.
