Big W in the Big D? Chances are, if you’ve lived in the Big D long enough, you’re wedding will be just as vibrant and big as the city itself. Dallas, or its surrounding cities, is a spectacular city to host your special day. The Dallas area offers some of the best sights, sounds, eats, and drinks to accommodate your nuptials. Whether you are visiting Dallas’ arboretum in the springtime, with the flowers full in bloom and butterflies dancing in the air, or reciting your vows in some of Dallas’ rich architecture during December, you’ll sure find a dream wedding complete with all your friends and family. Texas is full of rich gems and spectacular hot spots to visit. The Dallas area is a top that list with abundant things to do, like “Get Married in Dallas.”
The Dallas area has a multitude of vendors and venues to host your Dallas Platinum Wedding, including places like the Aldredge House, a 17 room mansion; Arlington Hall at Lee Park, a lavish and grand hall with the acreage to match; Enchanted Memories on the Hill, a quaint outside gazebo facility; Cappella Court Gardens, little Italy in the Big D; or Hickory Street Annex, an eclectic industrial atmosphere. There are just as many outdoor ceremony sites as there are indoor, and the Dallas area has about a 1553 Churches, ranging from Anglican to even the one Vineyard Church in the area. Whatever your personal style, or Religious affiliation, you are sure to have an abundant list of choices to choose as the place of your special day.
The Dallas area offers something for everyone, including your guest list. One bride that we have helped sent out Save the Dates for her wedding date, highlighting area attractions for her out of town guests. The announcement included the Bride and Groom’s Name of course, the date to save, and the engaged couples’ wedding website. On their site, (can be created at TheKnot.Com) they listed things to do, places to stay, and places to eat, for their out of town guests. By doing this, you can give your guests tips on what to do on the days before and after your wedding day. Most out of town guests end up taking off for 2 ½ days -5 days for an out of town wedding- depending on how far they have to drive and how close they are to the bride and groom. It’s also a nice gesture to give your guests a heads up on your favorite places and block of hotel rooms at certain hotels, so they are guaranteed a place to sleep. Don’t want a major event in town, besides your wedding of course, to be booking up all of the best hotel rooms in the Dallas area. True story- a friend of mine had her wedding on race weekend near Texas Motor Speedway and didn’t block off any rooms for her guests-people ended up driving one hour to the ceremony site. If you want to go above and beyond to accommodate your guests and show off extreme etiquette, include information on roadway conditions (if there has been on going construction on the road for awhile) or even list which roads require tolls. For the out of state guest? Remind them that in Texas, if you don’t like the weather, stay awhile and it’ll change. Have them prepared with minor necessities such as an umbrella or light sweater.
The day of course is not all about accommodating your guests- but YOU! Your Dallas Wedding should be everything you ever dreamed. Whether you envision a beautiful sunset as you say “I do” at Ashton Gardens, or want to experience the nightlife of Deep Ellum and Greenville Avenue with your bridal party after your wedding, you are sure to be smilin’ mighty big as you celebrate in Big D.
