Wedding attire can be both timeless and imaginative – proof is A & Bé, the recently opened bridal boutique in the Dallas Design District. This is the third location (after Denver and Minneapolis) for business partners and longtime friends Anna Walsh and Breanna Doll, who showcase wedding gowns and accessories by emerging designers with large followings abroad.
These rising star designers may be less well known in the States — and they include many Dallas and Fort Worth exclusives.
Look for wedding dresses handmade in Australia by designer Anna Campbell; creations from New Zealand fashion house Rue De Seine; unconventional looks from Truvelle, fashioned at the company’s Vancouver atelier; and designs from Flora, based in Haifa, Israel.
The 4,200-square-foot boutique mixes modernist fixtures with romantic details, including a private viewing area for each of the five fitting rooms. Appointments, scheduled in 90-minute blocks, include a consultation with a personal stylist.
Planning a summer or fall wedding? Pencil in these upcoming trunk shows: Flora’s 2016 collection February 5 and 6, and Anna Campbell February 26 and 27. A & Bé, 154 Glass St., 972.807.2597.
