Southeast Texas Wedding Trends
Budget Ideas for Brides
For Southeast Texas brides-to-be, the big day seems like it comes with a big price tag – but it doesn’t have to. The season’s top wedding trends pair elegance and affordability with options to make an event that is uniquely “you.”
To stay within your Southeast Texas wedding budget, follow these wedding trends.
* Outdoor weddings offer romance at a reasonable price
Perhaps no other setting is more romantic than the outdoors. Mother Nature in Southeast Texas provides the best backdrop for your special occasion:
- The Brown Estate in Orange
- Crystal Beach
- Pleasure Island
- The Clifton Event Complex in Beaumont
Outdoor weddings can be more affordable as parks or gardens typically offer rental areas at a reasonable rate. Know a relative with a beautiful yard? Ask them if you can host your wedding there. Then all you have to do is rent the supplies, such as chairs, tents and archways from a Southeast Texas wedding vendor like Texas Stage in Beaumont.
* Create a fun eating environment for less
Your Southeast Texas wedding reception is often the largest cost of hosting a wedding. Budget-wise brides are choosing locations where you can provide your own food and drinks. Food stations, rather than a typical buffet, can be set up around the reception room offering different types of food:
- salad bar
- pasta bar
- dessert bar.
* Add personal accessories for a lasting look
Your Beaumont wedding dress is an important part of being a beaming bride, but it can be a large expense. Get a beautiful look with plenty of personality, without breaking the bank. Start with a simple gown and accessorize it to suit your tastes. Add a splash of color with a bright sash or flashy shoes. Hair accessories (tiara?) provide a fashionable option at little cost. Shorter veils are very popular and cost much less than longer options.
* Create homemade floral arrangements
Once you add up the bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres and more, your floral expense can be shocking. Brides are choosing to take a personal approach by gathering friends and family to create the flower pieces. Get together and create the masterpieces for the big day while enjoying food, drink and each other’s company. It’s a great way to bond and save money, while creating something beautiful and meaningful. Another option – drop things like boutonniere’s completely. Southeast Texas groomsmen won’t mind!
* Enlist a Southeast Texas wedding planner
Yes, there is a fee associated with wedding planners, but a good one can save you money due to their relationships with other local vendors.
We hope this information helps you bring your dream Southeast Texas wedding in on budget.
