Alice in Weddingland is April 1

Not only are we loving the Alice in Wonderland buzz lately, (hellooo, Johnny Depp) but we’re all for bridal events benefitting a good cause. And now here’s your chance to play in your own bridal wonderland. Celebrating the launch of Groom Sold Separately, Alice in Weddingland features a designer bridal fashion show, prizes, a madhatter cake, and the chance to chat with several Dallas wedding professionals. Oh, and we can’t forget the bouquet croquet match with pink flamingos. (Could that be any cuter?) The best part is that it benefits Brides Against Breast Cancer, so while enjoying yourself and planning your big day, you know it’s going toward a great cause. The event is being held at The Ryan Manor April 1 at 6:30 pm. Click here to purchase your tickets – you could not would not want to wait!

Bride’s Head Revisited Trunk Show at The Wedding Party Studio This Weekend

Bride’s Head Revisited isn’t just a classic book, or a movie based on that book, it’s a custom bridal veil and accessory designer with fabulous taste. (Yes, I know the book’s title has a different spelling but you get the point.) They offer gorgeous headbands, veils, combs, barrettes, brooches, hair pins and even ring pillows for the bride who appreciates originality and vintage glamour. In fact, we like them so much we’ve used their pieces several times in D Weddings photo shoots. So if you’re looking for hair accessories for your big day don’t miss the Bride’s Head Revisited trunk show at The Wedding Party Studio February 12-14 from 10am-5pm. Trunk shows bring in more of a designer’s pieces than a store usually carries so it’s definitely worthwhile to attend. And if you make a purchase at this trunk show, The Wedding Party Studio will give you 10% off your order. So now you have two good reasons to head over there this weekend! But, be sure to RSVP at info@twpstudio.com or 214-296-4908.

Carolina Herrera Valentine’s Bridal Promotion

Dear Boyfriend,

Well, you see, there’s going to be an amazing bridal promotion next weekend (Feb. 12-14th) at Carolina Herrera. They’re offering deals that we simply can not pass up, like various discounts on samples, 10 percent off of new orders, and one-of-a-kind samples from the Spring 2010 collection (that aren’t available for order). Anywho, go ahead and ask away! Oh, and if you need help picking out a ring, please let us know. There’s a Harry Winston right across the street from CH. xoxo

Terry Costa Bridal Fair This Weekend

One of my good friends is planning her chic, summer wedding as we speak. She always has meeting after meeting with potential florists or DJ’s or photographers, all on different days at different times. Point is, I don’t know how you brides do it, but you do. (My friend is very organized, I might add.) Now wouldn’t it be nice if you could have several of those initial visits with vendors at one time and place? Here’s your chance to knock out more than a few. Terry Costa is hosting their second annual Bridal Fair, complete with cake tastings and the chance to interview top Dallas vendors, including florists, photographers, and even makeup artists. Head to the bridal salon Saturday, Jan. 9, from 10 am-7 pm, or Sunday, Jan. 10, from noon-6 pm. You can even find your dream gown while it’s 20% off (this weekend only!)

Morning person? They’re also offering a complimentary brunch, catered by Sevy’s Grill, Sunday morning from 10:30 am-noon, featuring tips and trends for the spring wedding season. Mimosas included.
