Booking early is key for peak months to secure top venues and vendors.
Many venues allow rehearsal dinners on-site if the night before is free, but there are also standout options nearby. Fine dining restaurants, boutique hotels, or stylish rooftop bars offer upscale settings for intimate or large gatherings.
Absolutely! A professional planner ensures your day runs seamlessly, letting you enjoy every moment. Top planners for luxury Fort Worth weddings include Keestone Events, Alexa Kay Events, Maxwell & Gray, Michelle Peska | Stunning and Brilliant Events, Blissful Weddings & Events, Everlasting Events, and KC Cloud Events.
Florals are essential for setting the tone of a luxury wedding. Some of my favorite Fort Worth florists include Black House Blooms, Haute Floral, Flower House Dallas, Dr. Delphinium, Blushington Blooms, and The Floral Eclectic.
Couples must apply for a marriage license at any Tarrant County Clerk’s office. The license is valid for 30 days, and your officiant files it after the ceremony.
