Spring & Summer & Fall Oh My!

Spring & Summer & Fall Oh My!
When deciding a date to get married, there are so many things to factor into the decision. Questions may arise like...What season should we get married in? What day of the week? What does should definitely NOT be the day? Well...lucky for YOU I'm here to help! So lets settle some of those concerns!

Seasons
There are many things to consider when picking a wedding date in a specific season. For instance, do you want a spring wedding with flowers blooming and the sun shining? Or maybe a winter wedding with a blanket of snow covering the ground. Maybe the warmth of summer or coziness of fall? When deciding take into consideration your occupation. If your a teacher, it would probably be better to plan a date in the summer time. If your a tax accountant you definitely do NOT want to have a spring wedding and so on.

Day of the Week
It is important to consider the day of the week you would like as well. Do you want a weekend wedding? Or, if most of your guests are in town and available would you consider a wedding during the week? Know what you want...After all, it is YOUR day :)

Dates to AVOID
Ok. So the last thing we want to is to have our guests chose between, lets say Superbowl Sunday and your wedding. I mean, lets face it, you may not have many guests in that case. SO to avoid the risk of this happening, be sure to cancel out the days that are any big holiday's or events. July 4th, Thanksgiving, World Series, Labor  Day,etc. You want ALL of your guests happily focused on your day!

10 Wedding Questions You Didn't Know To Ask


When should I take off my veil after the ceremony?

Everyone loves to talk about the veil, but nobody tells you exactly when to ditch it. While it's perfectly okay to wear the veil for the entire reception, there are two optimal times to take it off. The first is after the ceremony (have your hairstylist show a bridesmaid how to do this without messing up your 'do), and the second is after the first dance while your guests are eating. Once the veil's off, stick it in your bridal suite or have it "decorate" your chair.

Thank You All For Your Kind Words and Encouragement! Without YOU We Would Not Be The #1 Wedding Venue In The Antelope Valley!


"Stellar experience!
With the guidance and care of Karen Davis Goodell and her staff, this first time mother of the bride was able to navigate the emotional waters of the wedding experience. From Karen's keen eye and attention to every small detail, and expert understanding of a bride and her mother's need to feel supported, to a finely tuned and friendly staff, I am certain that there could be no better experience. The wedding was beautiful, elegant, perfect in every way, and honestly, free from any stress. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."
