A Versatile Wedding Venue

April 30, 2019


Versatile Wedding Venue

At The Empire Room, our versatile wedding venue is a blank canvas for any type of event or wedding. Our space can be transformed to fit whatever your need may be. We wanted to showcase a couple of the unique things that we have housed in and done to our space to make events perfect.

We not only have our indoor space, but we have a large back patio area, as well. Events can either take up the inside and outside, or just the outside. We just housed a recent event that we held at our space, Kibbles and Cocktails, we added turf to our entire back patio to make it feel more like a backyard.

Another event that we have recently had is a fashion show! The entire inside was decked out in lights, curtains, and even a stage. Since our indoor space is so large, we can do plenty of unique events that call for lots of space.

We have even held car shows inside of our venue. These have been a lot of fun in the past. No event is too out there for us to host!

Lastly, we do weddings! Our space has been utilized in incredible ways for all sorts of weddings. It can be made to be a minimal feel or as elegant as you have always dreamed of your wedding being. You can choose to use the inside and outside for your wedding, or even one or the other. We want to help you make your wedding as unique to you as possible.

We love hosting unique events here at The Empire Room, and we would love to house your next event in our space. Be sure to contact us about your event to hear just how versatile and customized our space can be for whatever your need is.

Spring Color Inspiration: Pastels

April 29, 2019

Dallas Wedding Ideas

Spring has sprung and pastels are back! We are here to help you with Dallas wedding ideas for the spring. There are so many ways to incorporate pastels into your wedding to give it the perfect, dreamy, spring feel that all spring weddings deserve.

The most obvious ways to incorporate all of your pastel colors into your wedding is through the florals. You might choose to have a cascading, pastel bouquet, or a wall of floating flowers behind you at the ceremony. The pastels can continue into the reception into the centerpieces.

Another way that you can add pastels into your wedding is through the clothing that your bridal party and groomsmen wear. Have the groomsmen wear light colored suits and pastel bowties with white shirts to create a lighter look for the audience of family and friends. Have your bridesmaids wear light florals or even just light pastel dresses to your ceremony. This will not only create a pastel backdrop, but keep both parties unified in an eye-pleasing way.

For any signage, whether it is table signage, table cards, or signs throughout your ceremony or reception, use light colors to write in! Usually we go for black when we create informative signs and use calligraphy, but using pastel colors will add a visually pleasing touch to your reception and to your tables.

You can also decorate in more ways than just flowers to add pastel. Consider adding light colored ribbon or tulle to the backs of chairs in your ceremony and reception. You can add ribbon into your table centerpieces, around your cake, or anywhere else that you see fit!

There are so many ways to add pastel colors into your wedding to make it become the color scheme that you have always dreamed of. We at The Empire Room would love to be the perfect backdrop for your pastel wedding.

Bridal portraits are a special thing that you will look back on an be able to remember exactly how you felt in your wedding dress and how excited you were to start your life with your love. For this reason, it is so important to make the shoot unique to you! It is incredibly easy to make this happen, and we have a few tips to help you out.

  1. Bring something you love with you! Maybe you have a family heirloom, a favorite chair, or paintings that your great-grandmother painted that you would like showcased. Anything that makes the shoot more personal will make the experience and pictures something you will cherish.
  2. Along with something you love, maybe you might even want to bring you dog! Maybe your furry friend is your best friend and you want to showcase him in your pictures. This is your shoot and your pictures, so feel free to make them as unique as you would like them to be!
  3. This used to be considered bad luck, but we are seeing it more and more now. Bring your fiancĂ© to your bridal shoot and have him be in some of the pictures! You are sure to get some beautiful shots of the two of you. If you are traditional and don’t want him to see you, this will be one to opt out of.
  4. Lastly, have you have done your photography research, and know a couple of shots that you are for sure wanting? Let your photographer know if you have any specific shots that you want! Don’t be afraid to voice that, but overall be sure to trust your photographer. You chose them for a reason!

Dallas Wedding Venue

Choosing the perfect florist is such an important endeavor for your wedding. The florist and flowers will complete the look of your Dallas wedding venue. We have a few tips to help you choose the perfect florist for your style and budget.

  • First off, make sure to figure out the floral style you like and would want to stick to! You might like more classical arrangements, more minimal, or anything in between. Nail your personal style down before you begin searching so that you know what you are looking for.
  • Next, be sure to set a budget for the florals in your wedding. This will help going into meetings with different florists because not only will you know your style, but you’ll know price-wise what you will need to stick to. This will help the florist create an accurate proposal for you, as well.
  • Got to multiple florists and do not be afraid to ask questions! Ask about the style they typically gravitate towards, and ideas you have for your wedding. Look through their portfolio to get a feel of their work and see what they have done in the past. Let them know your expectations for your wedding florals, and be open to their suggestions. Don’t be afraid to take lots of notes as you will probably be going to multiple florists and will want to remember everything.
  • Once you have gone to all of the florists that you are interested in, consider all of the proposals. You should look through your notes for each of them, their pricing, and their vision. Make an informed decision based on your style and budget compared to the proposals.
  • Once you feel like you have gathered and understood all of the information, it is time to choose your florist and let them know!
