2019 Veil Trends

June 26, 2019

Are you having a hard time finding the perfect veil to wear at your downtown Dallas wedding venue? Veils are constantly going in and out of style, year by year, but right now, thanks to many celebrity weddings with veils, they are very in. We wanted to highlight a couple of the veil trends that we have been seeing recently for your wedding inspiration.

  • Embroidered veils are all the rage right now. Whether the embroidery is on the edges, or throughout, it is a unique way to add in your color scheme. With so many places local artists who embroider, it is easy to get a custom floral stitch on your veil.
  • Along with embroidered veils, lace veils are also in. You can find beautiful, dreamy, lace veils at any bridal store, and you will have so many options of them to go with your style and your dress. Lace will never go out of style in weddings, and right now, that is the case with lace veils, as well.
  • Floor length veils are also very popular right now, thanks to Priyanka’s beautifully long veil, everyone is going for floor length and veils with trains. This is a stunning way to make your entrance at your wedding. Do you not want to deal with a floor length veil for your reception? When it is time to party, opt for a shorter veil in place, or no veil altogether.
  • Of course, the option of no veil always exists, as well. A veil is not for everyone, and that is perfectly fine. If a veil isn’t for you, then a veil isn’t for you! Doing your hair in an intricate way or adding a flower crown can shift the vibe of your wedding day look to something unique, and more you than a veil might do.

What Season Should You Have Your Wedding In?

June 21, 2019

There are pros and cons of getting married in each season. As your favorite downtown Dallas wedding, we have compiled a list of reasons why we love each season! They all have something different to offer, whether it is the color palette of the season or the vibe that the season gives to weddings. There are so many reason for each season, we just wanted to highlight a few of our reasons for choosing each of the seasons.

Spring:

Weddings in the spring can be indoor or outdoor, and your color palette can be beautiful pastels. A wedding in the spring involves all of the pastels that dreams are made of. What you have to look out for with spring weddings is the inconsistency of weather.

Summer:

Summer offers bright colors, hot weather, and summer fun. For summer weddings, you can easily have your wedding outdoors at any point of the day and you know that it will be beautiful. You can have summer drinks, outdoor games, and fun wedding favors, like fans, to give to guests.

Fall:

Fall is a beautiful time for weddings. It is a mix between a summer and winter wedding: chilly enough to be cozy, but still nice enough to easily be outside. Grab some blankets and consider serving apple cider to your guests during your wedding and reception. This season has muted and the beginnings of dark colors.

Winter:

If you have ever wanted a cozy wedding, winter is the perfect time for you to have your wedding. You can have a dark color palette to directly coincide with the winter weather outside. You can also have a cozy affair with blankets either inside or outside. The nice thing about Texas weather in the winter is that it will never get too cold to make this option be unrealistic.

Making Your Wedding an Experience for Everyone

Unique Dallas Venue

Unique Dallas Venue

Your wedding is a celebration all about you, but it is also a party for all of your loved ones. With this party, you are thanking everyone who came out to celebrate your love for traveling and just being there. Take your reception at your unique Dallas venue up a notch for your guests. There are so many ways to make your wedding an experience for everyone who came, and we want to tell you a couple ways to do so.

  • Make sure to have entertainment! Not everyone likes dancing, and even those who do need a break sometimes. Invest some money into a DIY photos booth, complete with props for guests to hop over to. Not only will this give them a dancing break, but it will give them a time to be silly and they will have something tangible to take home. You could also get a caricaturist, or something like it, to draw your guests throughout the reception. This is just another fun, unique way to keep guests happy and entertained.
  • If you are allowing kids at your wedding, look into having a kids table or area so that parents aren’t worried all night. This will give them a time to be relaxed and have fun knowing their kids are playing or coloring in a safe area. They will be able to let loose and have fun!
  • Look into useful wedding favors for your guests. Rather than a succulent that might die on them in a week, look into things like local honey, coffee beans, or anything else that guests will actually use and love. You can even have special favors for kids, too. This will make them feel extra special and they will know that they are loved by you and your now spouse!

DJ or Live Band: Which is Right for You?

June 13, 2019

Dallas Wedding Venues

Are you stuck choosing between a DJ and a live band at your Dallas wedding venues? This choice can be a tough one, but there are a few key things to think about to help with this decision. The vibe that you want, and the budget that you have are important factors to this decision.

Consider the vibe of your dream reception. DJs will be able to play basically everything that you could want them to play. Anything from country to Latin to alternative to line dancing songs are a potential when you have a DJ. If you want variety in your wedding reception, a DJ might be the way to go. If you want more of a specific feel in your reception, a band might be the best option for you. You can find a band that has specific styles – jazzy, country, alternative – to make your reception have an entirely specific vibe. Sometimes live music just sounds better than music played through a DJ booth – it ends up just being preference to the two.

You should also think about the budget you want to have for music. If you have a larger budget, it will be easier to find a good band that is able to do some variety while still keeping their style. If your music budget is smaller, it will be much easier to find a good DJ, as DJs only have one person to pay and bands have multiple. The better and bigger the band, the more money that they will be. This is why your budget is something to keep in mind when looking for reception music options.

Whatever you choose for the music at your reception, we are so excited to have you and your choice at our Dallas wedding venue.
