Wondering how to trim an out-of-control guest list without hurting anyone’s feelings? How about what to do with guests when there’s a gap between the end of your ceremony and the scheduled start of your reception?

Murano Art Deco Collection
Wine Stopper |
If you and your groom are oenophiles (that’s wine connoisseurs for the rest of you), and are planning a wedding where wine will be in the spotlight—with wine and food pairings, perhaps, or a special wine bar featuring hand-selected varietals—don’t forget wine-related favors.
Our favorites are unique wine stoppers that come in a variety of elegant designs and interesting materials—we especially love the Murano-glass-inspired collection from Cassiani—and can be packaged and tagged with a customized thank-you message. Cheers!

The wedding of Neekie Tajvari to Amir Kashani began with a traditional Persian ceremony at the Omni Houston Hotel, and commenced with a 40,000-orchid reception at The Corinthian.
For more on this one-of-a-kind affair (it’s not every wedding that features an engraved 16-foot waterfall from Darryl & Co.), click

If you are not a member or regular attendee of a local house of worship—and even if you are—you may find yourself searching for that perfect ceremony site. Our chapel listings can help point you in the right direction.
Whether you’re a fan of historic importance, contemporary elegance or country charm, Houston has the ceremony location to accommodate your guests, your altar and all the love in your heart.

Heather George, owner
Heather’s Glen
A turn-of-the-century mansion full of Victorian flourishes, featuring cathedral ceilings and crystal chandeliers, all surrounded by lush, manicured gardens—sound appealing to you, Houston bride? Heather George wouldn’t have it any other way.
The owner of picturesque Heather’s Glen in Conroe is meticulous when it comes to decor and gracious hospitality at the full-service wedding facility, located just 20 miles north of Houston. She’s also brimming with great advice for brides, including this bit of wisdom: “Never skimp on a photographer!
Your pictures will last a lifetime. If you find a gorgeous facility, you want to have quality pictures of your special day there.” Of course, George is partial to her own “gorgeous facility,” which, she adds, offers “a great choice for brides who want to get the most out of their budget, because we offer all-inclusive packages.” Which doesn’t mean cookie-cutter weddings, by the way.
“Everything is put together by your coordinator and designed by you—cakes, menu, music, etc.—so you can just show up and enjoy the most memorable day of your life!”
For more information, visit Heather’s Glen online or call 936.441.6611.
