DFW Wedding Venue

Our DFW Wedding Venue is the perfect blank canvas for any wedding! We have created our venue with white walls, soaring ceilings, and an open layout concept so that you can make our space what you want out of your wedding! Because of the ability to decorate however you’d like, we love looking through the wedding trends of each year to be able to see what we might have at our venue in the coming year! Here are some 2020 wedding trends that we think would look amazing in our wedding venue!

The maximalist trend is a newer trend that we started to see in 2019, but that is definitely carrying over. This trend includes everything from floral arches to hanging floral arrangements, giant balloons, greenery walls, neons, and lights. You can make this trend fit your style so easily. We love it for our space because of our open layout. Our large space will make it feel maximalist, but not cluttered.

Excessive string lighting is also in for this year! Whether you use Edison bulbs throughout your decor, a twinkle light wall, or any other extra lighting, this trend adds a pop to any wedding decor! This would look great inside or outside at our venue.

Modern twists on classic wedding cakes are also coming in hot for 2020! This can include using clear layers between layers of the cake to highlight the cake by using acrylic boxes or cylinders. Another modern twist on the classic cake is not having a real cake at all! Instead of a cake, have a grazing table with a stack of cheeses in the shape of a stacked cake. This is a unique option, but one that will be thoroughly loved. Charcuterie boards are so in and this is just the next step up.

Downtown Dallas Venue

Your wedding at our Downtown Dallas Venue is an important day in your life, so you want to make sure that you choose the perfect officiant for you! There are many people that you can look to in your life to officiate your wedding, especially now that you can get your license to officiate online decently easily. Take a look at some potential ideas for your upcoming wedding.

If you’re religious, think about asking one of your childhood pastors that have known you for your entire life. You can also ask your current pastor that knows both of you well. This will make it so that no one is talked about more and your journey as a couple will be talked about in their speech.

If you went to premarital counseling and got close to your counselor, ask them! This is a normal practice and will mean a lot to you since you have just shared so much time and emotional energy with this person. It will be the perfect full-circle moment to your premarital counseling experience.

Want to go a little non-traditional? Ask a family member to officiate your wedding! Maybe one of you has always dreamed of having your aunt or cousin that is your best friend officiate your wedding, just make that dream a reality! The worst that a person can say is no, so just ask because more than likely they will be so happy for this honor.

Last but not least, ask a friend! If the two of you have a mutual friend that knows both of you really well and has been there throughout your relationship, ask this friend to officiate rather than having them in the wedding party! This will be incredibly special to all three of you in the moment and years down the line.
