Sunday Kind of Love: Why Sunday Weddings Are A Great Idea!

Sunday Kind of Love:

WHY SUNDAY WEDDINGS ARE A GREAT IDEA!

When it comes to choosing the ideal day for your wedding, Fridays and Saturdays have traditionally reigned supreme as the day of choice for tying the knot. However, in recent years, another contender has quietly emerged, captivating couples with its unique charm—the Sunday wedding. We’ve gathered our favorite perks of a Sunday kind of love, and why we think you will want to experience the sweetness of a Sunday wedding at The Prospect House.

A FULL WEEKEND TO EXPLORE AUSTIN

Hosting a brunch wedding can be more budget-friendly Scheduling your wedding on a Sunday allows for a whole host of wedding activities the weekend leading up to the big day! Saturday weddings can easily create a rushed visit when traveling for a wedding and will have them headed back home before they can see all the city has to offer. Start the weekend off with a Friday night get together for out of towners, and familiarize them with some of Austin’s best bites and sights. Spend your Saturday getting much needed rest, maybe getting a massage or taking a group yoga class with your bridesmaids, before an epic rehearsal dinner followed by your big day!

Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse for an extended weekend?! Couples can prolong the joyous occasion, enjoying more time with their loved ones without the pressure of having to wrap up the party prematurely. No Sunday Scaries over here!

BUDGET FRIENDLY

It's not uncommon for wedding venues to offer a discounted rate for Sundays in comparison to Fridays and Saturdays! Securing a better deal on the venue can help couples stick to their budget more effectively and have the ability to allocate funds to other aspects of the wedding or even splurge on something special.

BETTER VENDOR AVAILAILITY

One of the most practical reasons for opting for a Sunday wedding is the increased availability of venues and vendors. Fridays and Saturdays tend to get booked far in advance, sometimes years ahead, making it challenging to secure your dream venue or preferred vendors. On Sundays, however, there's often more flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to have a wider variety of dates to choose from in your desired season. This flexibility also extends to your selection of preferred vendors, allowing you to curate your special day exactly as you've always envisioned.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING MORE UNIQUE!

Photographer: Angela King Photography

Who doesn’t love a wedding that stands out from all the other ones they have been to? A Sunday wedding allows you more room to take a less traditional approach to your wedding timeline. This could mean a Sunday brunch reception (Hello, mimosa bar!) and being tucked in bed by 9pm, or if you’re still wanting that same late-night party vibe, never fear - you can do that on a Sunday, too!

Sunday weddings provide the opportunity to cater to your individuality when it comes to your big day and create a truly memorable experience for you and your guests!

SWEETNESS OF SUNDAYS

Sundays in the South are an undeniable ode to romance. The sun seems to linger a little bit longer, the birds chirp slightly softer, and there is a palpable sweetness in the air- think big Sunday suppers with your loved ones, fall football, and all the Sundays in your life that have been all about togetherness and unwinding. Beyond all the logistical and practical benefits, there is an unmatched sense of nostalgia and warmth on Sundays, and we’re certain your Sunday wedding at The Prospect House will be the sweetest one yet.

At Prospect House we're committed to helping you create the wedding of your dreams, and a Sunday celebration could be the perfect choice for you.

Photographer: Alyssa Jarae Photography

Ultimately, what matters most is not the day of the week but the love and commitment shared between two individuals embarking on a lifelong journey together. So, whether it's a Saturday soirée or a Sunday celebration, the most important thing is creating a wedding that authentically reflects your love!

Say "I Do" to a Friday Wedding

Say "I Do" To A Friday Wedding

The weekend begins on Friday, so why not kick off your wedding festivities then as well?!

From perfecting your ideal wedding celebration to freeing up the rest of the weekend, here’s why Friday weddings are such a big hit:

THE AVAILABILITY

One of the biggest advantages of opting for a Friday wedding is increased availability and flexibility when it comes to booking your vendors. With a Friday wedding, you're more likely to have your pick of dates giving you greater freedom to choose the perfect setting for your special day. Do you already have your eyes set on the perfect photographer, DJ, etc? Having your ideal vendors

to be a part of your special day is crucial in making your dream wedding come true! Plus, we promise Friday weddings are a blast!

THE COST

Another significant perk of a Friday wedding is the potential for cost savings. Many wedding venues offer lower rates and/or minimums for events held on Fridays compared to peak Saturdays. By choosing a Friday, you may be able to stretch your budget further and allocate funds to other aspects of your wedding or even splurge on something special. Maybe it allocates more money towards décor items or gifts for your wedding party. The extra possibilities are endless!

YOUR GUESTS

While you may initially be concerned about your guests having to take time off work for a Friday wedding, most guests will appreciate the convenience of having the rest of the weekend free. Your loved ones can often make a long weekend out of the event, allowing them to travel, attend the wedding, and still have time to relax or explore the area before traveling back home and returning to their regular routines. Plus, who doesn’t love a three day weekend? (We sure do!) It’s a win-win for everyone!

WEDDING WEEKENDS

Photography: Feather & Twine

Hosting your wedding on a Friday allows you to extend the celebration throughout the weekend. Instead of cramming all the festivities into one day, you and your guests can enjoy a leisurely weekend together. Whether it's a post-wedding brunch, a fun get together at a local sporting event, or simply relaxing by the pool, a Friday wedding provides the perfect opportunity for additional quality time with your favorite people.

In conclusion, Friday weddings offer a variety of benefits - cost savings, vendor availability, extended celebrations and more. For couples looking to create a memorable and personalized wedding experience, go ahead and book that Friday wedding - you won’t regret it!

10 Wedding Ideas That Will Stand The Test Of Time!

If you’re planning your wedding and wanting your special day to be one you look back on for years to come, then we’ve gathered the perfect tips and tricks for you! Read below for our top 10 ideas on how to create a wedding that will stand the test of time:

1. Select A Modern & Timeless Venue

If you ask any planner, they’ll be quick to say your first step is the space you choose for your wedding day! While design elements can help bring that timeless look to life, your venue is what really sets the tone for your entire event… and also the backdrop for all of your photos!

2. Choose White & Green Florals

One thing is for sure… you can never go wrong with bright white floral arrangements with pops of greenery! This color palette has timeless and classic written all over it and won’t ever leave you wondering “What was I thinking?” years down the road .

3. Be Picky Choosing Your Photographer!

You could have it all, the perfect venue, planner, florals and color palette, but so much of your wedding style and vibe for the day is captured by your wedding photographer. So… take the time to scroll through that long list of people you have saved on Instagram and be intentional with selecting the perfect one that fits you and your fiance’s personality and style!

4. Stick With A Soft Color Palette

Bright, neon colors might be the new trend but who knows how long kelly green and barbie pink will be in? If you are really want to ensure that your wedding day is one that will still be desired for years to come, then we recommend sticking with more sophisticated and elegant colors like classic taupe and french blue!

5. Choose A Classic Wedding Attire

There are so many beautiful dresses out there to pick from but just like trendy colors, who knows how long some of these new wedding dress styles will be around. One of the most important elements of your wedding is your dress so if we could give you any piece of advice it’s to be picky and wait for the perfect classic gown to come around!

6. Have A Black-Tie Dress Code

Just as your wedding dress will have an impact on the overall feel of your day, so will your guests attire! A black-tie dress code automatically creates an elevated look for your event and will have you loving all your guests wedding looks way down the line.

7. Add The Champagne Tower

An elegant wedding reception detail that we don’t see going anywhere anytime soon! Serve your favorite bubbly to all your guests moments after capturing the cutest photo pouring it down your champagne tower!

8. Ask For All The Black & White Photos!

Nothing says classic and timeless like black and white photos! After carefully selecting the perfect photographer, you will want to make sure you request all the black and white photos from your celebration!

9. Incorporate Lots Of Candles

Little details are so important for creating the overall feel of your day and candles are huge! Whether it’s dinner for 200 people or just one long table, candlelight creates an intimate atmosphere which transforms a space.

10. Use A Checkered Dance Floor

You can never go wrong with a checkered dance floor! This classic detail will make for the cutest photos and the perfect setting to dance the night away!

Why It's So Important To Select Your Venue Before Your Date!

Tue, 16 May 2023 16:53:48 GMT

Why It's So Important To Select Your Venue Before Your Date!

“Should I pick my wedding date or venue first?!” - The Question That Everyone Is Asking!

It’s the first thought that comes to mind for the majority of couples and it can be a tricky one to figure out. Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life and the wedding planning process can feel daunting if you have no idea where to start. For many couples, the first dilemma when beginning the planning process is when and where?! While every couple is unique and has different priorities for their day, our biggest piece of advice is to start with your location! Prioritizing your wedding venue first will save you time, stress and sometimes even money - here’s why!

The options are endles s when you start with the venue!

Some couples are quick to lock themselves into a date for their wedding day before searching for the perfect venue but this will limit the options around you. By limiting yourself to a specific date, season or day of the week, you might risk settling for a venue that you wouldn’t have naturally been drawn to, rather than finding the space that feels right for you and your partner!

Your Venue Sets The Stage For Your Entire Day

Patience is key and when you come across the right venue we promise you will feel it! Prioritizing that feeling above all else will help ease the nerves and we cannot stress that enough! Once you tour the venue that feels right for you you will catch yourself thinking less about all the decor and DIY projects you have added to your to-do list! Your venue will set the stage for the entire day and when you feel confident about the experience that your venue will provide to you and your guests, the rest will fall into place more easily.

Don't Sacrifice The Style You're Really Looking For

Not only will the venue set the stage for your entire event, it will also be the backdrop of photos that you will look back on for years to come. This is another reason why it’s so important that your venue reflects your style and personality as a couple! Choosing a date before selecting a venue could cause you to change the entire look or feel that you were originally hoping for!

Your Memories Are More Important Than A Specific Date

If you’re the couple who is set on having your wedding at a specific venue or have dreamed of a certain experience for your wedding day, then don’t lock yourself in by choosing a date before looking at venues! When you look back 10, 20, 30 years from now, you will not think about the day of the week or even the time of year that you got married. You’ll remember the memories made, surrounded by your loved ones, in a place that felt like home to you - even if for just one night. Take the pressure off, book those venue tours and let the spaces speak for themselves! We promise you will thank us when you make your final decision!

8 Signs Your Partner Is Going To Propose

8 Signs Your Partner Is Going To Propose!

If you and your significant other have been together for quite some time now (or maybe it was love at first sight!) and your conversations have gotten more serious, then a ring might be in your near future! For the majority of you, your boyfriend or girlfriend will try their best to keep this a surprise but there are going to be some signs you will start to pick up on in the months leading up to your engagement!

So… if you have started snooping around for a ring or constantly have your nails all done up, we’ve gathered a list below to help you figure out if you just might be the next one in your fr iend group to get engaged!

Saving Saving Saving $

If you are used to checking out all the new restaurants and shops with your significant other but they have quickly become cautious of their spending habits, then it could be because they’re trying to plan for your future together! They may even suggest picking up a side job so they can afford that new home or car you guys have been looking at together!

More Aware Of Married Couples

Whether subtle comments or larger conversations, there may be a ring in your near future if you have started noticing your boyfriend or girlfriend bringing up other married couples! Normally, when a couple is nearing engagement and one begins preparing for a new chapter in their life they begin to pick up on other things that married couples are doing! They may notice old couples in the park or become more aware of distant friends getting engaged and all the weddings you are putting on the calendar!

T hey Plan The Next Trip

If you are the one always planning trips for the two of you to go on but the roles have suddenly reversed, then it might be because they’re planning a big surprise! If they begin to take charge of planning your next vacation together, then sit back, relax and let them do all the work! This gives them the space to make those reservations and hire a tour guide and photographer without you knowing :)

Holding Their Phone Close By

If your significant other has always been very open with their phone but has suddenly started hiding it or checking it every five minutes, there’s a high chance they have been texting with your dearest friends and family! There are so many people to notify and details to put together when it comes to planning an engagement and seeing a notification come across their phone can be a dead giveaway. We're sure that hiding something this big is hard enough for them. Keep calm and enjoy the anticipation of your

surprise romantic proposal .

Suddenly Interested In Jewelry

If your partner has started making comments on a nice ring or a pair of earrings that the lady a few chairs down from you is wearing, then take this as a sign that you might be next! If you have never noticed your significant other admiring jewelry until now, it may be because it's all they have been doing with their free time now and can’t help but comment on things when you go out!

Dinner Reservations Or Plans To Make Your Favorite Meal

If dinners have become a super casual thing in your relationship but your partner has started making a big deal about a specific date night coming up, then you might want to head on down to the nail salon and put a cute outfit on!

More Time With Friends and Family

If you and your partner are both crazy busy but they have intentionally carved out time for you to spend with their friends and family, it could be because they are planning to make you a part of it! Getting to know someone’s family is a natural step when thinking about a proposal so make sure you take the time to clear your schedule and be intentional with their friends and family!

They Are Being Secretive And Nervous

When you’re in a serious relationship it becomes very natural to share every detail or your lives with each other but when a ring comes into play that suddenly isn’t the case. When you ask them where they were, maybe they are sharing some of the details but leaving some out. Don't be overly worried because you don't want them to feel like you're accusing them of something other than ring buying or proposal planning. Sit back and relax - they’re just nervous about you accidentally finding out!
