Weddings are definitely bigger in Texas. At least it feels that way if you happen to be in charge of planning one. We’ve put together a list of some popular venues and vendors in the state to try and help make it feel like a slightly smaller task. This list is just a starting place. We strongly advise you try multiple vendors out for each product or service and then have them compete for your business. This will result in the best product or service at a much lower price. Plus it’s fun too.
One of the most important Texas weddings vendors that you will work with is your photographer. This is the person who you will be trusting to capture your special day and to make you look your best. It pays to do a little research and choose wisely. When selecting a wedding photographer it is a good idea to select one with a physical business address. A brick and mortar wedding photographer needs to build trust within their community over time. A good wedding photographer should also have plenty of advice about how you can schedule and shoot your wedding. This may include advice on your clothing and your location. If you have any questions your photographer should be ready to help you with the answers.
When choosing your wedding florist you will need to bring a few pieces of information. You will need to explain your wedding style, color swatches for your bridal attendants, the color of your mother’s gown and dresses, and diagrams of the reception and ceremony area. The florist that you work with should be able to meet your budget by choosing flowers that are in season, inserting additional greenery into the bouquets and controlling the size of the bouquets. The style of the flowers chosen should also compliment the size of the bride. If the bride is taller in stature then longer stems should be used. If the bride is more petite then slightly shorter stems will be appropriate. A good florist will be able to advise you as to which is the most suitable for your wedding. If your florist is unable to provide you with useful advice then this may be an indication you should work with a different wedding vendor.
