The Personal Significance of The Venue<\/strong><\/p>\nHolding your wedding at your parents\u2019 house can make it a very personal and significant affair. Assuming that your parents have lived in the house for a long time, you will be surrounded with familiar objects and childhood memories. Exchanging your vows under the tree you used to climb as a little girl can be very emotive.<\/p>\n
The Reduced Cost of a Backyard Wedding<\/strong><\/p>\nOne reason for the increased popularity of the backyard wedding is that couples are looking to reduce the amount they spend on their big day. Although you probably still need to hire a marquee and furniture, you won\u2019t have the cost of hiring a venue, and you can shop around between various suppliers to be sure you are getting a good deal.<\/p>\n
Backyard Preparing Tips for Wedding<\/h2>\n
Wedding Tent Rentals<\/strong><\/p>\nIn just about any cit you will be able to find a place that will rent you a large tent for your backyard wedding. If you don\u2019t want to use the tent you can always have it as a standby option in case of rain. Also, it may be a good idea to have a covered area where guests can gather during the wedding reception if you are planning the wedding during summer months where it may be extremely hot. It may also be a good idea to have fans or portable air conditioners in the tent as well if you know it will be hot on your wedding day. You could have different areas in your yard and the tent could be just one place the guests can gather or it can be your main area for your wedding ceremony or reception. You may also want to have a backup plan if the weather gets really bad and the tent won\u2019t stand up to the weather. It\u2019s never a bad idea to be over prepared on your wedding day.<\/p>\n
Backyard Wedding Menu<\/strong><\/p>\nThere are tons of different menu ideas that you can have for a backyard wedding. You can go the casual route and have some awesome picnic food or even a BBQ wedding reception or you can go for the more formal menu and have a caterer make all the normal wedding foods that people are used to. A good idea is to try to incorporate the food into your wedding theme and atmosphere. If you are going to have a more casual wedding you don\u2019t want your menu to be super formal but instead could even just do appetizers or different eating stations during the reception.<\/p>\n
Seating Arrangement for Wedding Guests<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen you have your wedding at a reception hall or at banquet center you don\u2019t have to worry about the seating as you just give the place your number of guests. When you have your own backyard wedding you need to make sure that you have enough seating for every guest that comes. You don\u2019t want to have some guests have to stand during the ceremony because there aren\u2019t enough chairs or find that not everyone has a table to sit at for the reception. Also, a nice added touch is decorating the chairs with fabrics that match the wedding theme to add some more color and pizzazz to the outdoor scenery.<\/p>\n
Decorations Tips<\/strong><\/p>\nHow a yard is decorated can turn an everyday lawn into a stunning wedding location.<\/p>\n
\n- Add floral urns and extra blooms to match the wedding colors.<\/li>\n
- Hang bows, ribbons, garlands, or flower pots from trees, windowsills, gates, fences, gutters, railings, or garden hooks.<\/li>\n
- Design the layout of the ceremony area with consideration for the backdrop scenery, since this area will be heavily photographed.<\/li>\n
- Decorate a wedding arch, gazebo, or canopy to distinguish the ceremony site.<\/li>\n
- Decorate the aisle area with a runner or scattered flower petals to give it a special ambiance.<\/li>\n
- \u00a0Add decorative accents to the garden or flower beds with a gazing ball, fountain, romantic statue, or topiaries.<\/li>\n
- Ensure there is adequate lighting for the entire event. For an evening wedding, add torches, hanging candle lanterns, luminaries, patio lights, twinkle lights, and other soft lighting for a romantic effect.<\/li>\n
- Choose the wedding date when backyard tree and plants will be in bloom or in full fall color for natural d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n
- Be sure to decorate the areas of the house guests will see, including an entryway and restrooms. Add coordinating decorations to the front yard so the house is easily identified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
