A backyard has many sweet and special memories for you right from your childhood. Considering these memories, it will be no surprise if you as a bride want your wedding also to take place in the same beautiful backyard. This will add another page not only to your memory album but also to that of your parents and grandparents.
While panning a backyard wedding you need to reflect on a few things. Organizing the marriage ceremony in the garden at the back of your house makes it necessary for you to have a small ceremony meant for few close relatives and friends. Nevertheless, a small and intimate wedding ceremony has its own set of benefits. One of them is that you are relieved of the tension of looking for and booking a suitable location for the ceremony and the reception. This also means that you will not only save a lot of money on the location's rent but also save time and money on traveling to and fro. This less expensive wedding option will save you from starting a new phase in your life in debt.
If that is not enough, this nuptial function will give you the best opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of decorating your backyard. You can also call your close friends and family members a day before the actual day of marriage for a small 'decorate for wedding' get-together. This will be a splendid way to spend some lovely time with them before you get married.
Arranging for essential furniture for an at home wedding service is not a very difficult task. For the wedding ceremony you can conveniently hire a canopy and required number of folding chairs on rent. Apart from this you might require a couple of tables. That is all that you will need to spend on. Since you are saving a lot of money on the location rent, from the money saved you can spend some extra bucks on decoration accessories like tulle, satin ribbons and silk flowers and thereby have a rich and lavish looking yard ready for your most auspicious occasion.
As for the wedding reception, the choice of food can be very flexible. It can be very simple or a grand feast. It can be anything from cold cuts to even a barbecue. This is because at home weddings in the yard are more casual than the usual weddings. Since the wedding place is a familiar one, it easy going and you can relax and enjoy the day to the fullest.
Making arrangements for the marriage ceremony and the reception will be very easy to arrange for backyard wedding. Depending upon the size o the yard you decide upon the placements of the canopy and the food and gift tables. If the yard is too small, you can put up the food table on the other side of the yard i.e. on the opposite side of canopy
With all the preparations complete and everything set for the final day, the only thing that can hamper your rich backyard wedding is bad weather. You will need to have a contingency plan ready. You might need to move everything inside or alternatively you can place canopies over the whole yard.
Planning A Simple Wedding
The planning of a simple wedding is becoming popular by today's society. More young brides and grooms are having untraditional simple weddings in lieu of the lavish wedding parties that perhaps the mother of the bride had. But this doesn't mean they are giving up stylish, elegant affairs. Simple weddings will still be remembered for many years by the wedding guests and bridal party.
The cost of having traditional wedding receptions has risen abruptly, causing the bride and groom to look at unusual places for their reception. Beautiful weddings have been held at backyards, beaches and parks that keep simplicity in mind. Some of the most remarkable weddings I have attended have been at unexpected locations including places where the groom proposed to the bride.
I will always remember the wedding I went to at, of all places, the bowling alley. The couple met when they joined a bowling league and shall we say it was love at first strike? This simple wedding was themed with bowling, from the wedding invitations to the bridal party, who wore matching bowling shoes. The groom and ushers wore bowling shirts instead of tuxedos. The imagination that went into creating themed wedding invitations and wedding cake were superb and unforgettable.
Another simple wedding that I won't ever forget is the one I attended in San Diego, California. This was in a state park that overlooked the beach. The wedding while being simple was also quite exquisite and refined. The bride wore a gorgeous dress that shimmered in the sunshine and we all enjoyed the ocean breezes. The bridal party and wedding guests toasted with champagne and wine that was local to the area.
Innovative decorating has adorned many a backyard for the wedding reception. These joyous occasions are sometimes held in the yard of a close relative. More and more brides are choosing this as their primary location since they can spend the savings on catering and flowers.
When planning your simple wedding event, it is important to have your wishes known and followed. Many times, family will tell the bride where they should have their wedding, regardless of the cost, and if you state your desire to simplify things early on, it will quickly take the stress out of trying to please everyone. It is the bride and groom who will ultimately make the decision, but it would be nice to get the family involved to help with all the details that go into planning a wedding.
Simple weddings can allow you to get creative with wedding invitations, your wedding attire, the decorations and entertainment.
You can contact a wedding consultant or wedding planner to help you, just remember to let them know exactly what you want. Explain how you want your wedding to be simple, but stylish.
