A Wedding Deep in the Heart of Texas

If you are a southern belle or southern gentleman raised in Texas’ most famous city, you’ll want to stay true to your roots when planning your wedding. A wedding with Dallas themed wedding decorations will be the talk of the town.

With a little careful planning and an active imagination, a tasteful Dallas wedding is a cinch. Here are a few fun ideas for a “Big D” wedding:


Dress

Have your caterers join in the fun. Cowboy boots and cowboy hats make for a great western-inspired uniform. Plus, those tall cowboy hats will help the guests find a server quickly whenever they need a drink refill!

Consider an updated dress code for your guests. Perhaps the invitation should read “Black Tie and Boots” to get guests into the spirit of the event.


Flowers

Yellow roses are traditionally associated with Texas and the bluebonnet is the official state flower. The blue and yellow Texas flower colors should be used abundantly when selecting floral arrangements. Use white as an accent color when putting together the bouquets. Put in the time to comparison shop and find the freshest blooms in town, before selecting your florist. You’ll be pleased you did the legwork when your flowers still look fresh as you head off to your honeymoon.


Table Decorations

Linens should be neutral so they don’t detract from the carefully selected setting or the breathtaking flowers. Keep the table setting simple with white candles. One spot to get inventive—place cards. Use the Lone Star Flag for a proud Texas touch.



The Setting

The best reception setting for Dallas wedding decorations will have a hint of rustic romance to them. A historic home would be a wonderful option to combine elegance and civic pride. Check out The Wyatt Mansion. It was completed in 1916 and has been wonderfully restored. Or give a call to the Dallas historical society for other suggestions. Another ideal location would be an old plantation or similar outdoor sight that has room for hay bales, wagon wheels and lots of wide open spaces.


The Feast

Any respectable Texan will plan on dancing up a storm at your reception. The food should be hearty and plentiful. Guests will want to graze in between two-stepping and checking out the grounds of your well-selected venue. A buffet works best when trying to satisfy a large group. A Dallas style BBQ is a perfect solution. Side dishes would include cornbread, baked beans and corn. I would suggest skipping the Texas chili!

The baker can work with a few interesting ideas when designing the cake. Two creative ideas: a large sheet cake designed to look like the Texas flag or a wedding cake embellished with the yellow roses similar to the floral arrangements.


The Music

A Texas swing band will have the group on the dance floor in no time. This music is popular with all generations and is sure to keep the party going for hours.


Take these ideas and brainstorm about your own favorite Texas traditions. A Dallas themed wedding will be the hit of the wedding season.
