It is natural to want everything for your wedding day to be perfect. While shopping online may seem convenient at first, shipping times and inconvenient returns can add stress to the wedding planning process! Fortunately, Fort Worth is home to many local businesses and talented professionals who specialize in helping make your bridal vision a reality, starting with in-person appointments and personalized, real-life selections. In this post, we share some of our favorites, as well as general timelines for preparing each element of your wedding.
The Dress
Blush Love Bride is an upscale bridal boutique offering a curated selection of designer wedding dresses to suit every shape, style, and budget. Here you will receive a personalized and professional styling experience, and you are sure to find the gown that complements your unique vision from their stunning collection.
Remember to start dress shopping at least 6 to 9 months ahead to allow ample time for fittings and alterations to ensure a flawless fit for your special day.
The Bling
To create the most elegant ensemble for your wedding day, the right jewelry is essential. Depending on your personal style and preferences, it can add bold color or contrast or subtle shimmer. The experienced jewelers at Bachendorf’s in the Shops at Clearfork can provide you with ready-made, designer heirloom necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets that will bring joy for generations to come.
As your wedding day approaches, remember that early planning is key to a seamless and stress-free experience.

The Glam
On your wedding day, all eyes will be on you, so achieving a flawless, radiant look is paramount. Professional hair and makeup services can enhance your natural beauty, ensuring that you are glowing with confidence throughout the day’s most emotional moments. Lydia Luxe is a talented beauty expert specialize in creating glamorous bridal looks tailored to your style, venue, and color palette.
We recommend booking your hair and makeup services approximately 6 to 8 months in advance, allowing time for a trial session to finalize your desired look.
The Glow
There is nothing quite like a natural-looking tan to give the bride a healthy, radiant glow. Cowtown Tanning is a luxury sunless tanning boutique specializing in custom airbrush tans using only the highest quality, skin-nourishing solutions and finishes. The best part? You’ll get a complimentary glass of champagne with each service. Cheers to that!
We recommend scheduling your sunless tan appointment 2-3 days before the wedding. This time frame allows the tan to fully develop and settle in, giving you natural and even coverage on your wedding day.
The Finishing Touches
To fully attend to all of the details of your bridal look, remember the finishing touches: Villa Nails is our go-to for beautiful, show-stopping manicures, while Flower Snobs at City View Florists can help you create the perfect bouquet to complement your wedding aesthetic and make your bridal portraits pop.
While your nail appointment can wait until the week before the wedding, you should start researching and contacting florists 6-12 months in advance, especially if you have specific floral arrangements in mind.
About Kalos Medical Spa in Fort Worth
At Kalos Medical Spa, we have helped hundreds of Fort Worth brides, grooms, bridal parties, and wedding guests prepare for their big day.
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Emily J. Kirby and our talented team are experienced experts in medical aesthetics who can help you look and feel your best. We will listen to your needs, educate you on your options, and answer all of your questions about timelines and aftercare.
Though most rejuvenating skin procedures involve minimal side effects or downtime, we recommend visiting us well in advance of your event in order to allow any visible evidence of your treatments to subside, and also to receive any necessary tweaks or touch-ups to optimize your results. This is especially true if this is your first time receiving the treatment.
The following procedures should be completed at least 1 month in advance of the wedding:
- Botox® or other injectables
- Dermal fillers
- SkinPen microneedling
- Custom facials
- Dermaplaning
- HydraFacial MD
- Brella for sweat reduction
For procedures such as CoolSculpting, whose results develop gradually over time (and may require multiple treatments), we recommend scheduling your appointment several months before your wedding.
