Wedding Wednesday – Real Bride Megan
Jason & Megan – New Braunfels, TX Wedding
Thank you to my beautiful and sweet future sister-in-law for being our New Braunfels, TX featured bride here on the blog! I gave Megan 10 questions to help all you brides out there planning their wedding. If there are any questions you want me to ask in future editions, please let me know in the comment section! If you’ve missed any other Real Bride posts click here: Ashley
1. When and where will your wedding take place?
Sunday, July 3rd. Boulder Springs Event Center — New Braunfels, TX
2. What has been the hardest part of your planning process?
Staying under budget, research for all the amenities — flower shops, venues, catering, linens, beverages, gift favors, decorations, etc.
3. Describe your “Dress Shopping” experience!
I purchased my dress from Alfred Angelo. It was the only place I tried on dresses at b/c I fell in love with a dress there. I am the type of person that once I find something I love I stick to my gut feeling — unless it is out of budget, which my dress was NOT!!!
4. What have you LOVED about the planning process?!
Spending quality time with my mother, sister, and Aunt Patrice. They have truly helped so much with their unique ideas.
5. What’s one DETAIL that you don’t mind sharing and absolutely LOVE!!!?
My memory wall — we will have wedding pictures of our grandparents, parents, aunts & uncles, siblings, etc
6. What are your top 3 priorities as you plan your wedding and why?!
Budget — need to have a strict budget and know what to spend money on and what could be added later if money allows.
Great food — this was a HUGE priority for my father. He wants the guests to leave satisfied.
Atmosphere to fit the bride & groom (VENUE) — wanted to find the perfect venue that we both knew was the PERFECT place for our special day
7. Are you more EXCITED or NERVOUS about the big day?! Less than 2 months to go!!:)
EXCITED — just a little bit nervous…I don’t like to be the center of attention
8. What are your wedding colors and how did you decide them?
Purple & Neutrals — purple is an accent through-out the wedding. Purple has been my favorite color since I was a little girl. The love of purple comes from my paternal grandmother (Granny).
9. If you had an extra $10,000 added to your wedding budget TODAY… what would you invest in?
Liquor & Champagne — we are serving beer & margaritas. Possibly someone driving us away in an old car…
10. What advice do you have for a bride who has JUST gotten engaged?!!
When you think of ideas always have a plan B if your plan A does not pan out. Things will work out even if you have to change your thinking/ideas. Somehow everything works out — don’t stress too much. Enjoy the planning time with your family, future family, and fiancé. This is a time you will not get back so just enjoy the experience of being engaged.
