Outdoor, Woodsy Ceremony sites-I needz one!

Seasonedfries

I know I've got tons of time (right now, but I've been married before, so I know how fast it flies by!) but it seems pretty hard to find a nice, non- "country" (barns, farms, etc) woodland site in or around the DFW. Or anywhere just surrounded by trees. The FI and I are wanting to get married with the feeling like we're lost in the middle of the woods with about 50 of our closest. The oldest people there will be mine and his grandmothers in their early 70's, so it can't be too terrible of a walk back to our reception site(?Maybe?) or vehicles.

Help! Anyone in the area have a place that comes to mind?

P.S. Our budget is SERIOUSLY small. Be thrifty with recommendations?

Wales Manor Winery used to have a deal where if you bought their wine for the wedding, I think use of the facility would be free (not sure if that deal is still on).  It's got a little bit of a barn/country feel though, but with a small budget, it could be worth checking out.

Dallas Arboretum!

We're getting married at the Golf Club at Fossil Creek... the huge live oak trees in the back are absolutely amazing, which is where the ceremony will be held!  We're on a small budget so you might ck it out.  It's in Fort Worth.

You just described Chandler Gardens (North of McKinney off of 75)

It's inexpensive, the people are great to work with and they have great locations all over the rose and tree farms.  We didn't book there because it wasn't the look we were going for and I worried about the weather in October.. but I strongly considered it.

Arboretum is not exactly small budget friendly, though totally lovely!

Cross Timbers Winery in Grapevine--if your guest list is small enough, you'll love it

I also recommend La Buena Vida Vineyards in Grapevine!  I loved it but just not big enough for our guest list!

Denton- Wildwood Inn Bed and Breakfast.  It's right off a road, but there are so many trees around it, it's nice and hidden.

Ashton Gardens is a new venue in Denton that has been mentioned on here. The ceremony area is indoors, but it has huge windows surrounded by trees. I don't know how budget friendly it is, but it is really pretty.
