Dallas Spring Wedding Inspiration – Large Wedding Venue Dallas

March 29, 2019

Large Wedding Venue Dallas

Spring is the perfect time to have your wedding! Whether you have a small or a large wedding venue in Dallas, you are sure to have a beautiful, light wedding. Here are a couple of our favorite spring wedding inspirations!

  • First up is the plant lined aisle. You can do this year round, but something about spring just calls for more florals. Amp it up by having full vases of flowers or large trails of flowers lying on either side of the aisle for you to walk through.
  • We love the watercolor trend that has been building over the past few years, as well. It is always beautiful, but it just fits with springtime. The nice thing about watercolors, and even the illusion of watercolors, is the fact that its always the perfect pastel color scheme. The watercolor theme is also light enough to go with a really strong floral theme without being too much.
  • Continuing into the use of florals – instead of pastel bridesmaids dresses, opt for a more fun version of this and have all or some of your bridesmaids wear floral dresses! This can be a more casual look, but there are incredibly beautiful, floral, floor-length dresses. 
  • Spring makes us think of garden parties, so go with that vibe! This could mean an indoor or outdoor wedding. Use some vintage chairs and table, mirrors, florals everywhere, even florals coming out of teapots would be so unique and fun. Take advantage of the fact that your season makes people want to have tea parties in gardens!
  • Lastly, the classic springtime wedding item is flower crowns. As basic as they might seem at this point, they can be so unique and add an incredibly beautiful touch to your accessories. Between your flowing dress and your styled flower crown, you’re sure to be the center of attention.

Top 5 Questions to Ask About Your Wedding Venue

March 26, 2019

Best Wedding Venue Dallas

Now that you have a list of the best wedding venues in Dallas, its time to develop a list of questions to ask the venues as you tour them. You might already have a list of 50 questions that you have to ask, but we want to make sure you don’t forget any of the important ones. 

  • Even if you don’t have a date that you’ve been looking at, make sure to ask what dates are available in the months/season that would fit into your engagement timeline. If anything, this question will help you nail down an exact date. 
  • Make sure to ask what type of vendors, catering, and bartending is provided or allowed. Some venues, like us, have an exclusive caterer that must be used. This is something to keep in mind if you don’t want to deal with finding a separate caterer or if you already had a caterer in mind. Some venues also have decor vendors so that you don’t have the extra stress of finding these types of things. This is also an important question so that you know what some of your total might be going towards, as well. Which brings us to our third point…
  • Remember to ask what the total price is! After any extra or added fees, the price might be more than anticipated. Make sure to have the exact total by the time that you are leaving the venue. With this total, you can also ask about payment plans and deposits, just to get all of the money talk out of the way.
  • Ask about the venue’s capacity! If you know you have 60 cousins alone , you don’t want to get a venue that only holds 100 people. Find the size and capacity that works for you.
  • Lastly, you never think about this until its too late, but always ask how many restrooms there are. A good rule of thumb is that there should be a minimum of about 4 restrooms per 100 guests. 

All in all, don’t be afraid to ask questions and take notes throughout your venue tours, and think about looking at our venue, too! You can contact us here.

Personal Touches for Your Dallas Wedding Venue

March 7, 2019

Dallas Wedding Venue

Each wedding is unique in its own way, but you want yours to be even more unique so that it doesn’t feel like it could have been anyone else’s. There are so many ways to make your wedding personalized to you and your spouse from decorations to heirlooms to having your favorite pet be a part of the ceremony.

  1. One incredibly beautiful way to make your wedding different is to use a vow scroll. A vow scroll is a calligraphed backdrop that acts as a backdrop and goes to where you are standing of your written out vows. It is not only a beautiful sight, but you are literally standing your ground on the promises you are making to each other. It is a fun picture of what you plan to figuratively do throughout your entire marriage.
  2. A more nostalgic way to personalize your wedding is using past photos of your families in the waiting area or even at the reception. This creates the feel of one, united family, as well as showcasing and honoring passed loved ones. This entire scene will be special to those that are not even related to you.
  3. A unique way to put all of your family in the wedding is to have your pet be a part of the ceremony! Imagine your dog that you and your fiancé got together 2 years ago being the ring bearer—that is personal and you wouldn’t have to worry about them being left out!
  4. Another fun way to personalize your wedding is with a cake topper. There are so many choices out there, but we really love bobblegr.am’s custom cake toppers! It adds a fun element to the cake to showcase your goofy or cute personalities to all of your guests.

What ideas do you have to make your wedding unique and all about you?
