We've Moved!!

Great news, everyone! 

We are SO excited to announce that we have moved to a new location!

You can now visit our office in Grapevine, Texas, in the heart of the DFW metroplex. We're located 30 minutes from Dallas and 30 minutes from Fort Worth, nestled in the building of a historic landmark right off Grapevine's Main Street.

In this new location, we can design mock-tablescapes with our clients, show our vast array of inventory items from centerpieces, to candles, to table numbers, to linen swatches, to reception decor, and beyond!

Planning Michelle's Wedding - Chapter 2 - The Wedding Budget

Even though deciding on the date and place really gets the wedding planning process off and running, the Wedding Budget should be the governing factor when a bride begins the planning process. Having a realistic goal in mind will help in every aspect of planning, and will help you focus your money on the things that are most important to you.

Michelle, a prepared girl by nature, came to our first meeting armed with a basic budget goal - a nice wedding for 75-100 people with great food, decor, drinks and entertainment for $10,000 or less, which means we will need to keep a close eye on every expenditure, and weigh each purchase carefully. I like to take the estimated goal and work backwards, subtracting along the way, so that we can see how much is left after the "want" list is plugged in, and determine ways to cut or eliminate as necessary. Helping massage the budget and negotiate the most for the money is a major benefit of hiring a professional wedding planner such as Shenanigans Weddings and Events.

A major piece of advice, other than knowing your budget, is being prepared with an amount you can spend on each item (such as flowers or photography) before you meet with the vendor. A quality vendor will steer you towards what will fit in your budget rather than trying to consume all your budget!
