Letβs talk about themed weddings! Can you imagine off the top of your head a Texas, Baseball themed wedding could look formal and classic? We can now cue to the most gorgeous baseball wedding ever that took place in Houston at the Boxwood Manor. We designed these simple yet elegant garden party invitations with minimal and modern appeal. The beautiful venue was custom-made into a beautiful illustration to garnish the reception card- we love it! We were able to make a few other custom items for these two; We made a life-sized cut-out of the TCU mascot frog as well as custom watercolors of their pup and a quidditch ball for the coupleβs signature bar sign, an intimate choice to reflect their personalities, life, and love! Thanks again for letting us help make this happen!

This wedding was so gorgeous that we had the honor of being featured on Martha Stewart Weddings! We couldnβt agree with this stunningly soft and lush wedding suite paired perfectly with the oasis that is Marbles Falls! Alyssa and Cody really embraced those fun Summer vibes and brought that style through to every part of the decor. The string lights outside the cabin like campgrounds are so rustic and chic amongst all the natural beauty of the landscape! The flora ceremony stage with the floral colors being so breathtaking made for such a beautiful experience and celebration! We love these Summer looks, and lucky for us, it feels like Summer for half of the year to us Texans, so keep the sunny vibes rolling!

"Tent" doesn't have to be a scary word during the wedding planning process. If you do your research, plan in advance, and budget correctly, having a tent can be the cherry on top of your perfect wedding. β We came up with this list of helpful hints and tips to make your tent renting process a breeze! β
1. Venue Logistics - This is the most important thing to consider while renting your tent. The questions to ask are: Where do I want to place my tent? How many tents do I need? What size tents can fit in my desired space? Are there any overhanging obstacles that could block my tent? Can I stake my tent or do I need to use water barrels or concrete blocks? β β
2. Budget for a tent from the Get-Go! Tents are not cheap rentals, but they are a vital part of the wedding planning process. They provide many uses, from entertainment coverage, reception/dinner coverage, shade, and weather protection, it's better to have the budget allowance from the beginning than to be scrambling to get one right before your wedding. β
3. Not every tent is made the same. Just like every couple and every wedding is different, there are several different styles of tents. Do your research and find the tent that will not only match your wedding vibe but enhance it! β
4. We have said it before and we will say it again, LIGHTING IS YOUR BEST FRIEND! We love all things lighting, with the right decor, and the right lighting placement, your tented space will be the romantic, welcoming space of your dreams! β

Picking the perfect venue can be the most overwhelming aspect of wedding planning. Picking a venue that is perfect for your wants and needs for your wedding day is so important; we decided to put together a list to help guide you through the process.β
β 1. Venue Statistics - These questions are all things you need to ask when touring to ensure you can facilitate your guest list, vendor team, budget, and overall wedding experience. What is the seated capacity?β What is the max capacity? Is the venue full service or can you bring in your own rentals? If the venue is full service what is included?β
2. Venue Contract - Are you choosing a full-service venue or somewhere where you can bring in your own rentals? Full-service venues might cost more up-front, but the cost of renting linens, tables, and chairs can substantially raise prices. If the venue you've booked is full service - What is included? Tables? Chairs? Linens? Rentals? Vendor tables?β How many hours are included in the contract?β How much are the additional hours?β Do you have to use the preferred vendor list?β
β
3. Vibe - This is the most important part of picking your wedding venue. Can you truly see yourself getting married here? Choose a venue that truly represents who you are as a couple. Is it well kept and cared for? This is a good sign that the owners are invested in your wedding as well.β
4. Lighting - what lights are provided with the venue and will it require additional lighting?β
5. Logistics - Can you see a smooth flow for the day? β
β
6. Rain Plan - If you are choosing an outdoor venue, is there a "Rain Plan" option to accommodate for weather changes? β

The wedding bells are near and the final details of your wedding are being put into place, so ACH Events wanted to help by giving you a list of everything you need to know when getting a marriage license in {Texas}. You can start requesting your marriage license 90 days prior to your ceremony. The latest you can obtain your license is 72 hours prior to the ceremony start time- this means you need to get your license at least 3 days before your wedding but no more than 90 days before your wedding. β
1. To apply for your marriage license you must visit a county clerk's office, in person, with CASH for the fee. β (FUN FACT: If you are getting married in Texas your marriage license can be from any Texas county, it does not have to be the one you are getting married in) β β
2. Make sure you have a Valid Driver's License, or a social security card when you go to your appointment. β β
PRO TIP: After your marriage license is signed following the wedding ceremony, request multiple copies of your marriage license {especially} if you plan on changing your last name!! All of the agencies where you get your passport or new social security card require a copy of your marriage license so having multiple copies already on hand will make your life so much easier when it comes to changing your name on legal documents. You can thank us later!

1. This is our biggest bit of advice - always, always bring your ceremony floral pieces into the reception space. Even if you have reception florals already in place, adding in a few additional statement pieces to soften the DJ booth/ band stage, and outline the dance floor will help make your reception photos pop! β
2. Lighting lighting lighting - adding just a few accent lights can totally change the atmosphere and mood of your reception. Adding Pin Spotlights that shine from the ceiling down onto the table centers, acts as a spotlight showcasing your florals. Adding uplighting can dramatize hanging installs or climbing installs.β
3. This may be obvious, but NEVER throw your bridal bouquet. Always ask your florist to create a mini bouquet to toss, or throw a bridesmaids bouquet! β

We know tradition says the Groomβs family sits on the right side of the aisle and the brideβs family sits on the left, butttt we love to change it up and also know that weddings include all love nowadays! If tradition isnβt important, we encourage you to switch the sides that the families sit on. Why might you ask? Well, with the parents sitting on the opposite sides, they can actually see their childβs face and reactions which makes the ceremony even sweeter! Every time we have recommended this to clients, they have loved it! So, save this post and when it comes time to write out all of your ceremony details, switch the sides up and have your partnerβs family sit on the opposite side that your partner stands on!
We hope these wedding planning tips are helpful and that youβll visit our friends at ACH Events for more expertise!

Hereβs the most wonderful inspiration you never knew you needed! This adult birthday party by Kailee Roberts is so outstandingly chic yet so welcoming and with plenty of room for fun!! Just look at the decor and event stations! Besides the beautifully catered food, treats, and meat and cheese platters, there were signature cocktails where your guest can go to elegantly stylish and lush sofa lounges to sit on outside enjoying the sunshine with your gal pals! And who said it canβt be fun with a little game of Champagne Pong?! Top it off with chocolate chip cookies with your birthday girlβs puppy dog portraits iconically stamped on the treat bags, and youβve got yourself a party to always remember!
