As she reached the last clue, Chris got down on one knee and asked the most important question of all. The planning ...Carson's enthusiasm for wedding planning is truly remarkable! It's not uncommon for individuals to start envisioning their dream wedding long before they officially become engaged. For Carson, the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming wedding led her to begin planning even before the formal engagement. Booking everything and finding the perfect vendors became Carson's favorite part of the planning process. This stage is undeniably crucial as it sets the foundation for the wedding day and ensures that every aspect aligns with the couple's vision. The process of booking vendors involves careful research, reaching out for quotes and availability, attending consultations, and making decisions that align with the couple's budget and preferences. Once the contracts were signed, Carson felt a sense of relief knowing that important elements of her wedding were now secured. Carson chose the theme of black with a splash of gold! The combination of these two elegant colors created a timeless and sophisticated atmosphere. Chris handmade personalized marquee letters of their last name creating a personalized and captivating focal point at the head table. These handmade letters added a personal touch and served as a unique and beautiful backdrop. The Terre Haute Convention Center's Executive Chef prepared Chicken Bruschetta and Pork Tenderloin for the wedding reception. Carson says that the food left a lasting impression on her guests and they could not stop raving about its deliciousness. When asked about Carson's favorite thing about her wedding day, she said "all of it!" Clearly, her positive experience demonstrates the importance of effective coordination, attention to detail, and a well-organized approach to creating a truly magical wedding day. With the wedding behind them, Chris and Carson are eager to travel the world and start a family as a married couple.  The first look is becoming an increasingly popular option for couples, and it can add a special and intimate moment to their wedding day. Chris and Carson did their first look in front of Federal Coffee. Carson gave excellent pieces of advice for engaged couples in the wedding process! Staying organized and having a day-of coordinator can greatly contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable wedding experience. Being organized from the start can help you stay on top of everything and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Create a wedding checklist, set deadlines, and keep track of important documents, contracts, and vendor communications. On your wedding day, you want to be fully present and able to enjoy the celebration without being burdened by the logistics and last-minute details. The Terre Haute Convention offers an experienced Event Planner for every wedding and reception. They can help with tasks such as coordinating vendor arrivals and set-up, managing the timeline, handling any unexpected issues that may arise, and ensuring that everything aligns with your vision. Another wonderful piece of advice from Carson for your big day - relax, enjoy the moment, and soak in every precious memory. By relaxing and letting go of stress, you can truly embrace the happiness and positive energy that surrounds you. Take the time to appreciate the love and support of your family and friends who are there to celebrate with you. Your wedding day will pass by in the blink of an eye, so it's essential to be present and fully engaged in each moment. Take in the sights, sounds, and emotions around you. Pay attention to the details that you worked so hard to plan. No wedding is without its minor hiccups or unexpected challenges. However, it's crucial to remember that at the end of the day, what truly matters is the celebration of your love and commitment to each other.
