This past Wednesday night, we were All About the Bass and All About the Bling at our Sip, Savor & Mingle Open Houses at our new and remodeled salons. The event, held for wedding industry colleagues and press, was to showcase our new location of LuLu’s Bridal in the Dallas Design District, as well as the lovely Victorian home that was refashioned for our newest endeavor, A Curvy Bride. It was a fun, progressive evening, where our guests started at LuLu’s and then caught a shuttle to Curvy. Here are a few pics of the fantastic event:
