How to organize wedding details after the proposal
Whether the proposal is performed amidst candlelight, over a piece of chocolate soufflé, or on a park bench, the decision to say ‘yes’ is the easy part. However, the choices following the proposal can be overwhelming for the newly engaged bride.
The best way to deal with wedding decisions, before looking at any catalogue, is to write down what kind of wedding you see yourself in. Write down your favorite colors, cloth textures –some like chiffon and others like satin; foods –appetizers or dinner; cocktails –pink cosmopolitan or Texas tea. If you envision being surrounded by flowers, trees, and soft earthy hues, then a garden or midsummer nights dream themed wedding might be what you’re looking for. Use your list when looking at bridal magazines; Martha Stewart Weddings is one of the best. Look for themes or color schemes that match your list and rip them out and keep them in a binder dedicated to wedding materials. Use this binder when meeting with vendors that way nothing gets lost in the shuffle and when you are ready to make final decisions all the paperwork is there.
The list is in place to help you find resources that match what you want. Often times choosing a venue with the right atmosphere and price can be tedious. Gain perspectives of Texas venues by visiting websites like texasoutside.com and the knot.com then go to the local city yellow pages and see what kind of businesses your city already offers. Small cities like New Braunfels and Wimberley have prominent businesses like Dry Comal Creek Winery, Hideout on the Horseshoe, Well Seasoned Catering, Celebrations, and historic Gruene these companies are just a few of the best kept bridal secrets of central Texas.
After all this list making, take some time out from wedding details and go on a date with your fiancé because celebrating what you have together is what all this planning is about.
