Featured Wedding Venue: Reunion Ranch

We are starting a new series on our blog where we feature a vendor that we know and trust! For the first installment, we are talking about Reunion Ranch in Georgetown. Reunion Ranch is a stunning property in the hill country where you can be married under the cover of 100-year-old oak trees! How STUNNING is this view?

Natassia West is the Wedding and Social Coordinator at Reunion Ranch. Our team at Amour Bridal has had the pleasure of working closely with Natassia and we can confidently say she will work harder than anyone to give each client an exceptional experience!

We asked her a few questions about what she wants all the brides out there to know 😊 and here are her answers!

What is the most special thing about Reunion Ranch?

The most special thing about Reunion Ranch is our people and customer service! We are a family-owned company that takes pride in each of our employees as well as our customers.

What is a piece of advice you would give brides searching for their perfect venue?

Find a place where you walk in and immediately have a connection, with not only the venue, but the wedding coordinator and staff. You will be working alongside them throughout the entire process and will want that comfort and reliability throughout.

What kind of packages do you offer?

We offer multiple different packages as well the option to truly customize your special day. A few things we offer with all packages are: in-house catering, tables/chairs/linens, day of coordinator, setup/breakdown/cleanup, full staff, full day rental and much more!

Finally, what is something you wish brides knew ahead of booking a venue?

I would say the most important thing to know before booking a venue would be, your budget, your guest count, and a specific date you would like unless you are totally flexible on the date.

Featured Wedding Designer: Martin Thornburg

Our featured bridal designer for this month is Martin Thornburg for Mon Cheri Bridals. Mr. Thornburg’s designs are perfectly glamorous with the impeccable quality you can always expect from Mon Cheri. The gowns are hand beaded with Swarovski crystals and come in an array of colors from traditional ivory to beautiful blush and champagne tones.

The Aria gown will take your groom’s breath away with the deep V in the back and soft, tiered horsehair skirt, and chapel length train.

The Fermata is another gown that is a true statement! This gown will really show off your curves and has all the structure built into the gown that you would ever need with the beautiful boning and drop waist style. The champagne underlay really makes the sequins and embroidered design pop. Keep the back sheer or use the modesty panel for a bit more coverage…it is the bride’s choice!

No one will be able to take their eyes off of you in the Coda! The floral vine pattern and sequins combination is something that you just do not see from every designer and it embodies what we all absolutely love about Martin Thornburg. You will be a modern-day princess in this ballgown!

And those are just 3 of the amazing designs we have in store by Martin Thornburg!

Tips For a Successful Sample Sale

With our Fall Sample Sale quickly approaching (November 18-26) we want to share our advice on what to expect so that you can make the most out of your shopping experience.

Let's start with what a wedding gown sample sale actually is. Remember that episode of Friends when Monica brings Rachel and Phoebe to "Kleinmans" to purchase her dream wedding dress? Well that's a sample sale! But don't worry, our store requires an appointment for the sale so it's not such a crazy free-for-all!

As a special order bridal store we stock "sample" wedding gowns for customers to try on. When a bride finds the perfect dress we then order the correct size and color for each bride and the dress will take several months to arrive in store. Every season we purchase new samples from our designers to bring in the latest bridal trends. At some point we need to make room for these new samples. That's when we hold a sample sale! These gowns get discounted since they have been tried on by other brides and occasionally have some wear and tear, although honestly, most of our samples are in pristine condition! This is a great time to shop if you are on a tight budget, have wedding date quickly approaching, or just like to find a great deal! We will have over half our inventory on sale up to 70% off starting at $299. We will also have bridesmaids dresses starting at $50.

So now that you know what a sample sale is, here is what to expect:

Arrive 10 minutes early

We will have some paper work for you to fill out and this will ensure it will not eat into your appointment time. Appointments will last 1.5 hours and should you be late to your appointment, it may take away from your appointment time as we will have a fully booked week.

Be prepared to buy

If you happen to fall in love with one of our samples that are on sale, be be prepared to say YES. We will NOT be holding gowns for any reason. If you pass on it, the next bride may very well purchase it. (We may still be able to special order it if the gown is not discontinued but then you would not be able to take advantage of the sample sale price).

Payment is due in full

Because we have dropped our prices significantly for this sale, all sample gowns are sold first come first serve and must be paid in full and taken home that day. We will not be offering payment plans or storage options for sample gowns. We have gowns available for every budget starting at $299 and going up to about $1500 (special order gowns go up to $2200).

Bring the most important people with you

Be sure to bring your mother, MOH, or anyone else you feel must have say in the dress. As mentioned above, if you decide to come back later to show someone else the dress, it may not be available.

Appointments are REQUIRED and we do still have some available so give us a call today to hold your spot - 512-596-5683 or you book online by clicking here.
