Planning your dream wedding day is so exciting, but we understand that it can also feel a little overwhelming! So, first things first: before viewing any venues and getting quotes, we recommend sitting down with your partner (maybe grab a glass of wine!) and start brainstorming the following:
What vibe do you want for your big day? Try to think of 3 words to describe how you envision your wedding. Some examples might include: Hinterland, Luxe, Oceanside, Vintage, Intimate, Modern, etc. Being clear on your vision will help guide you in the right direction when it comes to location, venues, and suppliers.
What dining experience do you hope for? Do you envision a cocktail-style evening with canapés, an interactive meal with shared plates, or perhaps a more traditional route with an alternative-drop menu?
How many people do you want to invite? Do you want every cousin and colleague to attend because the more, the merrier? Or are you leaning toward a more intimate gathering? Maybe it’s somewhere in the middle.
What are the non-negotiables? Do you want extravagant florals, a champagne tower, or your dream photographer? Knowing what’s really important will help keep your priorities front and center, and the rest can take second place.
We hope these conversation starters are helpful, fun, and get the ideas rolling for your dream day. At Austinvilla Estate, you’ll have various meetings with our wedding coordinators, who will also help guide you through the planning process and bring your unique vision to life.
