Venue has been booked

The venue is officially booked!!! The Hilton Garden Inn in Granbury, Texas!!! For both of their conference rooms, foyer, tables, linens, setup, cleanup, etc. the grand total is $850!!! It is quite a bargain to be such a beautiful place. For those of you who are going to be in the wedding or know for you sure are coming you might want to start thinking about hotel accommodations. I know it still a littles less than a year away but Granbury's annual festival and General Granbury celebration is the weekend of our wedding. Some hotel rooms at the Hilton are already booked for that weekend. My mom is calling this coming week to reserve a room for  me and my bridal party (a bridal suite). For the 19th, David and I are staying at a hotel downtown Fort Worth. (The Renaissance Worthington).  Just keep in mind if you are staying in Granbury for the wedding day (19th) you might want to book asap. If not, you might want to consider staying in Fort Worth (you will have cheaper options). The night life is good there and you have many more options. Springbreak is the week following the wedding so some of you may want to have a little mini-vacation or something down there if you can!! I am getting excited, it's starting to kind of sink in that I'm actually getting married!  For complete information of the Hilton Garden Inn, visit: http://www.mywedding.com/kaladavid/events.html

YAY!!! Venue and Dress

Well Asa and I had a great time going back to Texas. We looked at several other venues we had not seen yet. One of my favorites was the Belltower Chapel in Fort Worth and the Hilton Garden Inn in Grandbury. After thinking about the location, price, stipulations, etc of each, I think the Hilton Garden Inn is going to be the venue. I still love the Liberty hotel, but it is so small. Due to fire code's only 35 people could attend and that would include the bride, groom, photographer, officiant etc. The Hilton is out over a lake and is gorgeous!!! When we came home, the next day I started looking at dresses here. I loved the first one I tried on. The bad thing is it was on clearance, discontinued and they literally only had one dress....and it was in my size! Mom and Kara agreed that I should go ahead and buy it and keep looking just in case I find something else I like better. I would hate to pass on that dress then several months down the road know that the first one I tried on was my favorite and it was gone. So I bought the dress!! I love it!!  If you want pics I will email/text you if you will let me know you want them. Overall, it was a very productive weekend in my opinion.

Going back to TX

Asa and I are going to TX over Spring Break. We have a bunch more venues we are going to look at and check out. I still really like the Liberty Hotel, but Kara and Mark's secretary Crystal said that the columns in the room might pose a problem for decorations and a clear view for those sitting. There are a few more places I have found that I really like. I am not ruling anything out but just keeping all options open. I love the Hilton Garden Inn!!! Its affordable and beautiful!!! I will post pictures of our travels!!!!
