Planning a wedding in Amarillo, Canyon, or anywhere in the Texas Panhandle means endless opportunities to add personality, charm, and unforgettable moments to your celebration. Today’s couples want more than a ceremony and reception—they want an experience. One that reflects who they are, honors their families, keeps guests comfortable, and creates memories that last a lifetime.

This summer, one of the best examples of that was Taylor and Braxton’s wedding at Cornerstone Ranch Events Center. Taylor was a bride who knew exactly what she wanted, and she executed her wedding planning with absolute perfection. Every thoughtful detail she chose had guests wondering what fun surprise was coming next—and by the end of the night, the dance floor was overflowing and the energy never slowed down.

Here are some of the unique details Taylor incorporated that you can use as inspiration for your own unforgettable wedding day.

Outdoor weddings in the Texas Panhandle can be warm, but Taylor made sure her guests were completely comfortable. She placed elegant handheld fans and mini dressy umbrellas at the ceremony so guests could stay cool during the vows.

Not only did these look beautiful in photos—they showed just how much she cared about her guests’ experience.
