You’re having your wedding in Dallas, TX, and quite frankly, you’re more than a little excited!
A vibrant, friendly city with a great community to match, Dallas is home to you. A combination of many qualities, to you, Dallas has everything. This is probably why you’re having more than a little trouble while narrowing down the different Dallas elements your celebration should have.
But not to worry! As a native Dallas wedding photographer, I have the knowledge you need to have a beautiful, classy Dallas-style wedding!
– Keep Your Attire Casual and Formal
A relaxed cowboy-esque, formal wardrobe is a staple for weddings and special occasions. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t add some modernity to it.
For the ladies, pair a gorgeous, short wedding dress with cowboy boots. For men, choose a casual suit, but get rid of the coat. Instead, add a vest and a cowboy hat if the style works for you.
– Plan a Hearty Menu
And add everything that screams Texas! Nothing too fancy, but you could definitely get away with a barbeque, a soul food fest, and even a Tex-Mex treat if you have the budget for it. Add some cookies to the mix, and your guests will leave feeling full and happy.
– Choose an Outdoor Venue
If possible, find an expanse of ground so you have sweeping views to enjoy. A backdrop of the wide, clear bright blue skies and an excess of oak trees are the perfect touch of Texas.
– Book a Local Band
Mainstream music not your thing? No problem; book a local band instead and have them play some southern music! Either give them your song list, or have them play classic tunes that make you want to get up and dance.
– Book a Local Photographer
