I know, I know…where the hell have we been? Life’s gotten a little busy and wedding season is ramping up (🎉) so we’ve been a little swamped. We have been active on our Instagram though! To tide you over, today we’re doing a round up of some of our favorite insta posts during our little ~break~.

Wedding Trends
2020 has been...quite the year. Each one of us has had our own unique challenges, but we can all agree we’ve been put through the wringer. Together we’ve had to adapt to a new and unfamiliar world, and celebrating with you has been such a fantastic outlet.
As we look back on all of our STUNNING 2020 couples, were feelings ALL the feels. More than anything, though, we’re feeling thankful to everyone Celebrate Dallas has had the pleasure of serving this year. Being able to distract ourselves with so many sweet and joyful faces gave us all the love and light we’d been missing. Being apart of your special day, no matter how big or how small, has been such a privilege.
We love you and can’t wait to see all that 2021 has in store for us (fingers crossed it’s nothing but puppies, rainbows, and good health for all).

Love you lots,
Celebrate Dallas 💕
The first (or at least the first and most fun) step of your wedding planning is deciding the look of your wedding day. Not only is it exciting to put together, but it’ll live in your wedding pictures forever. When deciding on your oh so important wedding aesthetic, there are tons of things to consider and we’ve rounded up a few for you plus tips on how to keep your vision organized. Let the designing begin!

Brainstorm
Sit down with your boo or BFFs and talk about how you'd always envisioned your big day. Though those plans might have to be scaled down or re-worked to make them realistic, they are a good jumping off point.
Consult your Pinterest, but make sure it’s not just a bunch of pretty pictures. Now that Pinterest allows you to make subcategories, your running wedding board may benefit from some reorganization (especially if this is something you plan to show vendors in the future).
Quick Tip: Think about making a fresh wedding and creating sub-boards for:
Dress/Bridal Beauty
Bridesmaids (gifts, beauty)
Groom/Groomsmen
Guests (paper, favors, welcome)
Food and Drinks (reception, cocktail hour)
Decor
Shot List
After you’re done, go through your old wedding board and move only your very favorite pins to the new board and delete the rest.

Color Palette
Play with color palettes! Color (or lack thereof) can set the tone of your wedding day and your design aesthetic. Bold is in, but may need some experimentation to get right.
Theme
Looking to over the top with your wedding day aesthetic? Consider a theme. There are never ending options, and no doubt your look will be unforgettable.

Talk It Out
Ask yourself (and your spouse the big questions)! Do you want your wedding to be:
Modern or Traditional?
Big or small?
Daytime or nighttime?
These will all help to give you a clearer picture of your wedding day.
Consider What You Already Know
Decisions you’ve already made may also sway your wedding style.
Venue: Barns and outdoor venues lend themselves to a more rustic or boho look, while banquet halls and luxe hotels tend to be more classically styled.
Season: The season may also play a role in your overall decor. Winter Wonderland and Autumnal Coziness have very different vibes (and if you even care) you can incorporate them into your event design.

What’s you favorite Spring wedding detail?
2020 is here and with the new year comes new trends. We've done the research (we're weddingologists, thank you very much) and things like eco-friendly details, color mixing, and intimate weddings will be all over the wedding scene this year.
As you scroll through this post you might be thinking: I like and may want to incorporate one or two of these trends on my wedding day, but is that going to make my wedding trendy? Well, yes and no. Sure, your wedding will be on-trend (congrats you have great taste!), but that's not some awful kiss of death. Many brides stress over the idea of their wedding looking timeless, but the truth is no wedding is truly timeless. Wedding dresses, florals, venues, and even decor details follow the trends of the time. What we like now, even in their most classic and beautiful forms will be "dated" one day and that's okay. Your wedding day should be a reflection of what you and your spouse love and want to live on in your hearts and photo albums for decades. You do you, boo.
Here are 12 of our favorite 2020 wedding trends; take a look, take notes, and get trendy!
