Venue Options in the Desert (On a BUDGET)

I've been at a stand still and it's pretty frusturating. Since we don't really have much money to spend until the end of the year, we are pretty much just studying, investigating and following up with different venue options for our wedding. The 3 I've come up with are:

Moortens Botanical Garden

Genuine Draft Ranch

Joshua Tree State Park

Remember, our wedding has to be as close to nature as possible and all 3 of these venues gives us that option. I want some natural, sandy, cactus and sunset wedding pictures and I cannot wait to visit Genuine Draft Ranch and Joshua Tree State Park. I'll be taking photos and posting them! I can just feel it, I'll be a little bit more settled as we start putting down venue deposits!!! Until then, enjoy some pics so you get a better understanding of the venue grounds. Take care xoxox!

Joshua Tree

Moorten Botanical Garden

Genuine Draft Ranch

P.S. I think all of these have potential to work!



Wedding Planners vs. DIY

Many people ask me why I decided to go with a wedding planner? My answer is always, "because I want everything done FOR ME on my wedding day". I've been to many weddings where I see the beautiful bride still "conducting" the wedding from behind that lovely veil. I really do not want to do that, I want to walk down the aisle and see everything in place, perfect, while my gushing groom is admiring how beautiful his wedding day is. I have been meeting with my wedding planner monthly and going over little details, talking about venues, developing how we want the menu, how many people we want in our wedding party and how many guests we will be inviting. I sure do not want to be the one doing all of the legwork, getting on the phone, leaving numerous voicemails, haggling prices, etc. I just want to help her see my vision, give her ideas and let her do what she does best... EVENT PLANNING! She's wonderful at what she does and I trust her with my special day 100%!

Here's too the wedding of our dreams!
