Finding Your Style for a Backyard Wedding

When it is time to plan a wedding there are a million details to consider. Aside from selecting a date, what is the number one consideration? Location, location, location. Have you considered a backyard wedding?
One of the upsides to a backyard wedding is the cost. You will not have the cost of a church or reception hall, but you may have decorating and landscaping expenses. Of course that beautiful landscape will stay right where it is, and you will find years of pleasure from your beautiful garden. A backyard wedding can be as simple as a potluck and exchange of vows, or formal and catered.
Your theme selection should be a reflection of the couple exchanging vows. Choosing a theme that carries through their personalities and tastes will add a touch of realism to the event, making the wedding more eventful and memorable.
One popular theme is the western wedding. I attended one of these wedding events a few years ago, and it was a wonderfully planned ceremony. A salmon smoke took place in one area, far enough away to prevent smoke interference during the ceremony. The groom and best man rode in on horseback, and everyone was dressed in traditional western clothing.
Having a backyard wedding can be as simple as the casual wedding theme. Dress can be color oriented, like a spring green wedding. Be creative as you want with this theme, and let your vows take the forefront instead of your dcor.
Some considerations for your backyard wedding are the number of guests, seating, and the reception. Landscaping and decorating costs should be considered. Let’s not forget parking for all your guests. Weather can also be a concern. What will you do if it rains?
There are really few restrictions to your backyard wedding event, but one word of warning: check your community regulations to see if large events are allowed. Check with your local jurisdiction as well, there may be considerations for noise and traffic.
Your backyard wedding is a great way to celebrate a joining that can last a lifetime. Make it a memorable event, and while we all have limits on our wedding budget we should never run short of the love and sharing of this wonderful event.
