Perks of a Downtown Dallas Wedding

February 25, 2018

Perks of a Downtown Dallas Wedding | The Empire Room

In the past couple of years, the once sleepy downtown after work hours, has become a hot-bed of activity. We are excited to share what downtown has to offer you on your big day.

Location, Location, Location

There are no shortage of hotels downtown for your out of town guests to stay at. And the best part is that they are in close proximity to your venue and some of the best restaurants, activities, and landmarks Dallas has to offer.

Parking, Valet, Taxis, Bike-sharing

While parking might be harder to navigate in downtown. Valet parking, UBER, and Lyft makes it easy to navigate downtown without having to worry about parking. If you’re in to eco-friendly transportation there are several bike-share companies that have come to downtown including Lime Bike, Ofo, and VBikes.

Skyline

Nothing is quite like those beautiful downtown views at night. How great would it be to have the Dallas skyline as the backdrop of your wedding night?

Dining Out

As we mentioned earlier, downtown offers some of the best cuisine and dining experiences that Dallas has to offer. Take the stress out of catering your dinner rehearsal and let downtown provide dinner out on the town.

Unique Photography Locations

The Dallas skyline and it’s landmarks are the perfect place for your wedding photos. Especially if you love the city vibe, it makes sense to have your wedding photos in the heart of the city.

Best Sweetheart Table Set Ups

February 20, 2018

The sweetheart table is the couple’s best friend at their wedding. Giving them a space to relax, eat, and enjoy this party they’ve spend countless months planning, not only that but a sweetheart table is also a blast to decorate. Here are some of the best sweetheart table set ups.

Loads of Greenery

You may not have the budget to cover all the tables in greenery at your reception but you can splurge on your sweetheart table with lush greenery to make it stand out and be the focal point of the room.

Light it Up

Marquee lighting makes a beautiful backdrop or great signage for the front of your table. It creates extra drama and flair and allows a lot of customization from spelling out LOVE to your initials.

Glow

Who can resist warm candlelight? Candles are generally very budget friendly so you can go all out and have varying heights of candles to make your already glowing faces shine even brighter.

Bold & Colorful

For technicolor weddings no ordinary table will do. Create a punchy table with bright colored streamers, balloons, colored paper, and table linen.

Dazzle

Dazzle your guests with metallics and a sequined tablecloth. If you’re all about glitter and glam mercury glass votives are a good choice for your table as well as tufted chairs.

Rustic Chic

Whether its in burlap, lace, or floral fabric, this mainstay of rustic chic decor looks adorable on your table. You can even add sweet wreaths to the backs of your chairs.

Eco-Friendly Wedding Trends

February 15, 2018

As our natural resources are also being compromised more and more couples are looking to make their big day eco-friendly.

Save the birds

Toss lavender instead of rice, plus is smells twice as nice

Invitation Alternatives

Recycled paper or Seed Paper hemp, bamboo, and cotton

Not only be better for the environment but will give you some very creative and stylish looking invites as well.  This may be a more expensive option, but your invitations will be biodegradable and eco friendly. Technology

E-vites not only save the planet but you’ll save some green in your wallet as well. You can still customize your invitation.

Biodegradable Products

Disposable plates and utensils are much prettier now a days. You can find so many chic styles of bamboo, biodegradable dining sets. Not only will they not sit in a land field for years, you also don’t have dishes at the end of the night and it’s much cheaper than renting dinnerware.

Buying Vintage

Think about buying vintage for your wedding gown, tuxes, and bridesmaids dresses. Textile waste is prevalent in our fast fashion society so you’d be giving a gown another life.

Farm-To-Table Caterer

Look for a caterer that sources their food local or buys organic. This saves on emissions from trucks who have to ship food across long distances and pesticide free produce is better for the environment.
