The Ceremony Set-up And Decorations
Whether you hold your outdoor wedding in someone's backyard or a private park that can be rented for events, flowers make a great main attraction - along with the blushing bride, of course! Beautiful potted plants and buckets of flowers are a few of the things that can be set up to mark off the area of the actual wedding.
Rows of white folding chairs are great for wedding guests because they can quickly be transported from the ceremony area to the reception area.
There's no need to change the clothing style of a traditional wedding just because your wedding is being held outside!
If you chose to go with the traditional, the bride can wear a beautiful white wedding gown and walked down the "aisle" to meet her groom, who will be wearing a formal black tuxedo. The ceremony can be conducted under a white wooden arbor decorated with garlands of colorful flowers. The ceremony can be held a few feet away from the reception area wherever the venue. You can take these outdoor wedding reception ideas and add you special touches for your special day!
A wooden dance floor can be set up so that everyone could dance along to the DJ, and beautiful benches can be set up among flowers and plants if the guests decide to walk around a bit. When the sun goes down, twinkling white lights that were creatively wrapped around the plants will come to life, adding a wonderful glow to the party.
These outdoor wedding reception ideas can even help you decide on a menu for your celebration. As long as you have a good catering company, food and drink choices for a garden reception can be just about anything you'd like, from a three or four course meal to a casual buffet.
Wondering what sort of cake is appropriate for an outdoor wedding? I've seen some spectacular cakes, but my favorite choice would have to be the cake I had at my own wedding-a three tier basket-weave cake. The icing makes the cake look like a stack of baskets, and you can choose any color flowers you want to decorate your special cake.
As for outdoor-themed wedding invitations, a cream-colored card featuring an image of green grass and a butterfly would be really appropriate. To send your guests home with a creative wedding favor, give them a packet of flower seeds and a small clay pot. They will have fun planting once they get home and they will remember you and your wedding each time they see the beautiful blooms in their own yard.
