Houston Bridal Couture Goes Custom With David Peck USA

Houston Bridal Couture Goes Custom With David Peck USA

Like every love story, every bride is unique, individual, one-of-a-kind. Nobody knows this better than Houston-based designer David Peck, whose gorgeous made-to-measure bridal gowns burst onto the wedding scene with a splash at the I Do! Bridal Soiree runway in January. While the David Peck bridal collection debuted on our spectacular Royal Sonesta Hotel runway, the designer’s River Oaks atelier is a fixture on the Houston fashion scene. Which means that the bride who picks David Peck for her big-day dress gets the benefit not just of Peck’s design genius, but of his talented team of experts. And she gets a gown that is made specifically for her body, her taste, her vision of her perfect day—a gown that, like the love of her life, is hers and hers alone.

Swag Bag Sweetness!

Bridal Gifts Favors Skincare

We at Weddings in Houston firmly believe that take-home treats shouldn’t be just for wedding guests. That’s why we put so much love—and LOTS of good stuff—into our exclusive I Do! Bridal Soiree swag bags! We want to thank the exceptional brands and vendors who contributed gifts and goodies to the swag bags our brides took home from the fabulous I Do! Bridal Soiree at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston on Sunday, Jan. 26.

Greenleaf Gifts
Not only did Greenleaf’s First Blush and Gardenia Fragrance Votives have us totally swooning with delight over their soft, romantic scents, but their packaging was pretty much perfection. Love the idea of these for visiting guests’ hotel rooms, amenity baskets, and reception powder rooms and dressing rooms. Don’t you? #weddingfavor #guestroomamenity #homefragrance #bridesmaidgift

Thymes
Infused with jasmine, rose, hyacinth, lily of the valley and other divine floral fragrances, Thymes’ Goldleaf Foaming Bath Powder is our new favorite soak-time ritual. Did we mention it leaves our skin feeling like silk and smelling like Heaven après-bath? #bridesmaidgift #spabasket #bathandbody #fragrance

Kate Somerville
When the amazing Kate Somerville offers to treat you to a skincare treatment, you’d best take her up on it. I Do! Brides: Make sure to schedule your complimentary Kate Somerville DermaQuench Treatment at Neiman Marcus…TODAY! #bridalbeauty #bridesmaidbeauty #skincare #ideserveit

Nothing Bundt Cakes
So. Freakin.’ Delicious. Once you take one bite of a Nothing Bundt Cakes Red Velvet, White-Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate or Lemon cake, drizzled and basically filled with decadent frosting, you’re a fan for life. And they make wedding cakes, too! #bundtcake #weddingcake #desserttable #ideserveit

Tiff’s Treats
Cookies make us happy. So we kinda figured they’d make y’all happy, too. And Tiff’s Treats knows how to make a cookie that’d make anyone happy. ‘Nuff said. ENJOY!

Photos, Kudos and Highlights from Our Best ZaZa Bridal Show Yet!

OK, so we were going to kick off this post by gushing a bit about how truly fantastic our Oct. 7 I Do! Bridal Soiree at Hotel ZaZa was. But instead, we’ll let Houston bride Vanessa, who attended this year’s ZaZa show, tell you in her own words, which she emailed to us post-show:

“The event was amazing! There were great vendors, the presentation throughout was beautiful, and the staff at Hotel ZaZa was courteous. I loved the event because it was so much more personal than other events. I had the time to talk to vendors and I left knowing which ones I loved. Having food, Champagne, and wine was definitely a plus. It let my group relax and have fun. You nearly forget you’re at an event not a party! I have a few friends that are recently engaged and have already told them to sign up for the I Do! Bridal Soiree in January!”

Wow. Thank you so much, Vanessa, for attending I Do!, and for sharing your experience with us and our awesome Houston brides!

Huge thanks, too, to Hotel ZaZa senior catering manager Kristina Opp and her outstanding staff; to entertainers extraordinaire Jonny Black of Jonny Black Productions, and pianist Scott Graham; to A&A Video Productions for filming our fantastic show (clip coming soon!); and to D. Jones Photography for GORGEOUS photos of I Do! @ ZaZa, featured here. We’ve got way more I Do! @ ZaZa on Facebook, so do check them out…and if you see something you like, drop your comment and let us know. And just a reminder—if you contact any of the vendors you met at the show, or whose work you’ve admired through our show photos, PLEASE let them know you found them through Weddings in Houston and the I Do! Bridal Soiree!
