Destination Wedding for CO Couple
Britani and Tyler, an adventurous and out-of-state couple, found their dream destination wedding venue at Shiraz Garden in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Choosing this picturesque location was a no-brainer for them as it offered the perfect central spot for their guests to gather from all corners of the country. Adding to the allure of this destination, Britani and Tyler have always cherished their stays at the nearby Hyatt Lost Pines. This luxury resort provided their traveling guests with lavish accommodations and a multitude of activities to enjoy at their leisure. With the Hyatt Lost Pines just a short distance away, guests could easily arrange their own accommodations and take advantage of the resort's amenities while conveniently traveling to the enchanting Shiraz Garden for the main event. At Shiraz Garden, we take pride in hosting destination weddings and welcoming couples from across the country, ensuring an unforgettable experience for the betrothed couple and their cherished guests.
Vendor Availability - Winter Means More Choice
One of the advantages of having a winter wedding is the increased availability of top-notch vendors. With the peak spring and fall wedding seasons often booking up quickly, couples opting for a winter celebration have the advantage of a wider selection and greater availability of their preferred vendors. From photographers and florists to caterers and DJs, the vendors who would typically be stretched thin during peak seasons are more likely to be able to devote their undivided attention to creating a truly exceptional experience for your winter wedding.
The Snows had a fantastic lineup of vendors, but we have to give highlight three special mentions before we dive into this lovely day!
This December was Kelly Costello Photography’s first wedding at Shiraz Garden, and we were in love! She was wonderful on the wedding day, professional, funny, and kind. Her sneak peeks were breathtaking — wow, that light! And then, we saw the full gallery and immediately started singing her praises.
Jazmin, with Events by Leslie, is a Shiraz Garden recommended planner and always goes above and beyond for our couples! But this day was extraordinary working with Britani from out of state the entire time and creating a truly effortlessly beautiful day for this special bride.
And Lastly, Codie with Makeup ATX, is a gem. She is amazing at what she does and always gives our brides the perfect level of glam they are looking for. She is so funny and a joy to be around, and we just loved seeing her this day and could feel her presence and impact throughout the day - these getting-ready hours are essential, ladies!
Intimate and Cozy Celebrations - Winter Wedding Shaws and Fire Pits
Winter weddings offer the perfect opportunity to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere for you and your guests. The chilly weather includes warm and inviting elements, such as fireplaces, candles, and soft blankets. Embrace the season by incorporating rich and textured fabrics like velvet or faux fur into your decor. The ambiance of a winter wedding fosters a sense of togetherness and closeness, creating lasting memories for you and your loved ones.
Rather than seeing winter as a drawback, view it as an opportunity to infuse your wedding with seasonal magic and charm. From incorporating elegant winter-inspired elements into your decor, such as sparkling icicle lights or crystal accents, to serving cozy comfort foods and signature winter cocktails, you can create a unique and unforgettable experience for your guests. Embrace the season's festivities by adding touches like hot cocoa stations or a s'mores bar, encouraging your loved ones to indulge and enjoy the warmth and joy of the winter celebration.
