Thank you to everyone who attended our Bridal Showcase last month. We had a really great turnout from vendors, planners, brides and families and friends of the Fort Worth Club. We were able to showcase each of our banquet rooms and treat people to some delicious food and cocktails. Hopefully everyone who attended was able to leave with some new ideas and inspiration for their own upcoming receptions and events!

Here are a few images from the event, with a larger album below. Enjoy!

Meaghan Lafferty and Jeremy Prather had a beautiful ceremony and reception here at The Fort Worth Club in December. The ceremony took place in our Terrace room, where the space was filled with gorgeous floral and candlelight. Meaghan and her father walked down the mirrored hallway together before entering the room. “It was nighttime and the only light was from the candles lining the floor, but I could still see myself in the mirror and I felt incredibly bridal!” said Meaghan in an article for the Fort Worth Club Magazine.

The reception followed in the Horizon ballroom, and it was equally as gorgeous.

Dramatic Lighting

Brides always ask if they should add specialty lighting to their reception. While our ballrooms are beautiful on their own, you can really make a dramatic statement at your event using custom lighting throughout your reception space.

Lighting not only helps highlight your centerpieces or arrangements with the use of pin spotting, it can also be a great way to incorporate your color scheme or overall event theme by using specific colors or patterned gobos.

While dramatic lighting is not necessary, nor is it for everyone, when done correctly and professionally it can take your event to the next level and make a statement that your guests will not soon forget.

Kristen Rosener & Adam Sturdevant celebrated their reception in the gorgeous Horizon Ballroom and Terrace.

The beautiful color combination of black, red and white was carried throughout the space with vibrant florals and decor from Tami Winn.
