Texas Wedding Guide: A Complete Guide for Texas Weddings.

We are delighted to once again present Texas-based wedding planner and superstar, Donnie Brown, Donnie Brown Weddings and Events, in his third of many upcoming, monthly contributing columns. You may know him from the popular TV show, “Whose Wedding is it Anyway?”

Well-known for his direct and vivacious personality, he is sure to keep us in stitches with his humorous opinions and sometimes, unbelievable tales from his experiences as a planner over the years. In addition, he will keep readers up-to-date on the latest bridal trends and “must haves.”

Here, in his next column, Donnie gives us a humorous presentation of what kind of brides are out there and a moment of self-examination if you fit into any of these categories.

When you combine a breath-taking venue, a lovely bride, a few tablespoons of toadstools, layers of moss, exquisite floral design & charming stationery….you end up with Woodland Wonder. This autumn-esque affair is ethereal, earthy and charming. You can almost taste the apple cider, carmel and all the spices.

Look at those tantalizing, ruby red apples dipped in caramel. Even more fabulous is the assortment of condiments you can roll the caramel apple in. The red fondant on the cake perfectly complements the decor and setting.

Rancho Mirando offers a dream-like, rustic, charming ambiance and breath-taking views - the perfect complement to any Texas wedding. This hidden gem is nestled in the Texas Hill Country in between Austin and San Antonio. One such bride, Jessica Currie, attests to its rugged, but classic beauty, and the warm hospitality of the staff, making for her own dream wedding:

We had a saying “I love you from the East to the West,” and having families from East Texas to West Texas, it was only fitting that we met in the middle to plan our special day. 

We didn’t want the traditional. We wanted the unexpected. We didn’t want a showcase wedding. We wanted a wedding that showcased our personalities. We didn’t want a venue that needed to be decorated. We wanted a venue that was beautiful in itself; a reflection of our personalities and relationship.  A hidden gem is what we found in the Rancho Mirando. The views were impeccable, the location was ideal, and the organic, natural beauty found on the grounds was breathtaking. We didn’t need lighting effects, or over the top centerpieces; the ambiance was already set.

Here, in his next column, Donnie takes us on a side-splitting-'til-tears-stream-down-your-face checklist of what a bridezilla looks like. What's even more hilarious (or scary) is that I bet some of you have seen brides do this:

You know you are a bridezilla if.........
