What to do when you’re Engaged – Dallas Wedding Venue

February 27, 2019

Dallas Wedding VenueIt’s an exciting time for you! Your significant other (finally) popped the question over the holidays, and you’re engaged! After your proposal you’ve jumped head first into wedding planning and it’s all you can think about. Your Pinterest inspiration board is overflowing, you’ve looked at wedding planning timelines, and maybe even started setting up appointments to see a Dallas Wedding Venue or two. Although this time can be incredibly exciting, some of you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and stressed out about the process.  Let us  be the first to remind you, it’s not all about the wedding planning process.  It’s about you and your future spouse, the love that you share and the marriage that you will have. So… don’t forget to celebrate the small stuff and plan plenty of “engaged” dates along the way, here are a few ideas:

  • First Date: Go back to the site of your very first date together and reminisce about the early days of your relationship. Think how far you’ve come!
  • Plan a weekend away: make time for a weekend getaway, before the true chaos of wedding planning sets in. Choose a relaxing bed and breakfast, or an adventurous Air BnB. Keep the wedding talk to a minimum, and enjoy each other’s company in a setting outside your typical busy lifestyle.
  • See where the map takes you: Pull out a map of your city or state, close your eyes, and pick a spot. You can explore a new part of your town together, or even roadtrip somewhere out of the ordinary.
  • Date Night In: forget the hassle of a reservation and create a romantic evening at home. Cook a meal together, whether you try a new recipe or an old favorite. Create a playlist of songs you two love, and set the table with candles and flowers for a romantic atmosphere.

We hope you enjoy your “engaged” date-night, but even more so, we hope you enjoy the wedding planning process. If you’re interested in scheduling a tour at a modern, trendsetting, downtown Dallas Wedding Venue, contact us today!

Dallas Downtown Wedding Venue – The Empire Room

February 26, 2019

Dallas Downtown Wedding Venue – The Empire Room

Top 2019 Wedding Trends To Look For

The Empire Room, is Dallas’ finest Downtown Wedding Venue, and a  great place to host a trendy wedding of your very own. We picked the top 2019 trends for your wedding that we think have lasting power.

 

Wedding Ring Trends

Giving a diamond is very traditional, but many brides and grooms are opting for different looks. Colorful gemstones in either traditional cuts or even raw cuts are getting popular. Getting a ring in your birthstone is a more personal touch instead of just picking a white diamond.

Metals besides gold are increasingly coming to pass. Even mixing metals in wedding bands is very popular for millennial couples.

 

Wedding Table Trends

Mixing colors and patterns on the wedding table is making waves too among couples who want something different. In the past, using classic neutrals and white linens was the way to go, but today you will find so many more creative options. The wedding table can be an artistic expression of your true style.

 

Wedding Cake Trends

The wedding cake is getting away from being traditional three tier white cake. So many couples are opting for different compositions. From macaroon stacks, rice crispie cakes and donut cakes, the options are limitless.

Want a breathtaking masterpiece? Mille feuille means a thousand layers in French. This cake is made of filo pastry, filled with Chantilly cream and topped with fruit or drizzled in chocolate sauce. Also from French cuisine, we’ve seen the Croquembouche tower, which is a tall tower of cream-filled pastry balls with caramel sauce.

Whether you stick to traditions or pick popular trends, The Empire Room, our Downtown Wedding Venue is the perfect place to host your dream wedding for you and your future spouse. Contact us today to schedule your venue tour.

When our clients book a wedding or event at The Empire Room, we schedule a meeting to hear all about the big day. Alongside clients, caterers, and coordinators, we come up with a custom layout that best fits our space for your one-of-a-kind event.

How many guests are you expecting? Where should the ceremony be hosted? Will you serve a plated meal, or a buffet? Are round or rectangular tables better for your event? What about a head table? Do you plan to incorporate a lounge seating area? Where is the best place for a bar?

We help answer all these questions! With your guest count and event style in mind, we design an event layout specific to your occasion—ensuring smooth logistical planning, and ultimately a gorgeous event design.

This service offers peace of mind for our couples and their vendors.  After all, nobody knows the space like we do!

Dallas Wedding Venue Altar Arch Ideas

February 15, 2019

Dallas Wedding Venue

The Empire Room is already filled with modern, inspiring elements, but what really helps it stand out as the best Dallas Wedding Venue, is our couples who want to make their event their own! Every love story has a distinctive quality. We love to see how couples personalize our venue, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind space that expresses their unique vision. One area where couples often get creative is the “altar” where they tie the knot. Take a look at a few of our favorite ceremony backdrops so far:

  • Floral Archway: a popular choice, floral archways always make an elegant statement. Adorned with flowers of your choosing, they are easily customized and guaranteed to create romantic setting.
  • Floral Installation: take the archway idea a step further with a unique floral installation. Perhaps you design a fully-covered flower wall, or use organic greenery for a lush backdrop.
  • Hanging Ribbons: Easy and elegant, a hanging ribbon installation allows for plenty of customization. Choose ribbons in your color scheme and create a personalized background that is sure to look amazing in photos.
  • Lighting: let a sparking chandelier take center stage, or use pillar candles lining the aisle for a softer ambiance. You can even pair florals with twinkling string lights for a magical feel!

You can’t go wrong with any of these backdrop choices (or even combining a couple of them!). And each one allows you to tailor the “altar” to suit your aesthetic and color palette. We love to hear about our couples’ unique ideas; along with event coordinators, they are always coming up with something new!

We strive to be the best Dallas Wedding Venue for couples looking for a modern downtown event, we hope to host your special day at the Empire Room. Be sure to connect with us on social media to see more event inspiration.
