Winfrey Point Weddings at White Rock Lake Dixie Does Vintage Wedding and Party Rentals Dallas

05/27/2017

Need to know more details about having a Winfrey Point Wedding on White Rock Lake? Dixie Does Vintage has helped plan numerous Winfrey Point Weddings, and Parties at this unique Dallas lakeside spot.

There are a number of great reasons why couples choose Winfrey Point for their wedding day celebration. It’s easy on the budget and the views of downtown Dallas and White Rock Lake are phenomenal. Winfrey Point sits up high on a hilltop and offers picture perfect settings for daytime or sunset wedding ceremonies. With White Rock Lake, which is the Dallas equivalent of “Central Park” in the background your wedding photographs are guaranteed to be gorgeous.

Some say Winfrey Point is a hidden gem on White Rock Lake or a more accurate description might be “diamond in the rough”. Be prepared it’s strictly a DIY bring in everything kind of wedding venue. That’s part of the charm, you can be as creative as you want with your wedding theme and decor.

Located on city of Dallas land, Winfrey Point is managed by the park district. The venue is not widely known to people outside of it’s east Dallas neighborhood. The 2500 sq ft reception space, which looks like an old house ( well actually it is an old house) has a definite “vintage vibe” to it. It comes with a back patio with views of White Rock Lake. Weekends book quickly and for reservations call the Dallas Park System. If your hoping to book your wedding on a spring or fall Saturday evening, plan on reserving Winfrey Point at least a year in advance.

Dixie Does Vintage thinks the best part about a DIY Winfrey Point Wedding is how creative couples can be along with the ability to chose all your wedding vendors. There is no kitchen to speak of and the restrooms aren’t fancy, but how many wedding venues allow you to pull up a food truck, tamale stand, or a pizza oven at the front door? Dixie Does Vintage loves setting up our wedding lounges, vintage seating, reception tables, and outdoor wedding lawn games on the lawn, screened porches or back patios.

The screened in porches at Winfrey Point are a great spot to set up a fun cocktail or beverage bar, desert station, coffee bar, or even a photo booth.

The White Sparrow Barn Inspired Beauty and The Beast Wedding

04/29/2017

When two Dallas wedding industry vendors, Denise Knitch at Dixie Does Vintage and Elizabeth Fisher, received a phone call from a Los Angeles celebrity event planner, asking them to do a tablescape set for a TV morning news show, they decided to take it to the next level and add a “A Beastly Kind Of Love” wedding photo shoot.
The TV segment and shoot were timed to coincide with the opening of Disney’s new adult movie “Beauty and The Beast”.
Slomique, who is a regular on the David Tutera’s CELEBrations show, helped direct and also model as “Belle” in the “Beastly Kind Of Love “ shoot.

The White Sparrow Barn , voted a top ten wedding venue, was the setting of this nontraditional and decidedly edgy shoot. The custom yellow gown is by Nardos Design and how perfect is the model playing the Beast? Will Roth, the Beast model, is actually a member of a Fort Worth folk rock band Moonlight Native . Lizzie Bee’s Flower Shoppe created the floral, ivy and bouquet designs and the book calligraphy menu was from Scribbles and Swirls.

How clever are the book titles on the custom cake designed by The London Baker? Dixie Does Vintage provided all the fabulous vintage brass, table decor, and props and furniture.

Industry wedding photography pros Maggie Hargrove from Magg Shots Photography and Mellissa Spurrier from Melissa Claire Photography worked as a team and managed to capture every beautiful beastly moment of the photo shoot.

Dallas based event planners Julie Blakey and Sarah Robison from Refined Romance Events co-collaborated with LA based Slomique to design and direct the Beastly Kind Of Love photo-shoot.
