Beautiful Backyard Wedding Ideas

What could be more charming than a wedding right in your own backyard? There is nothing quite like the comforts of home, and an informal backyard wedding can be a great place to hold your wedding celebration. Take a look at these ideas for wonderful backyard weddings.

If your wedding will take place during the daytime, you will want to offer some shade for your guests. A formal tent might feel a bit stuffy for a backyard reception, so think about patio tables with big festive umbrellas for the seating. Make them extra special by wrapping garlands of fresh daisies around the umbrella posts. Another idea is to set up a garden "lounge" area under a large awning or in a gazebo. Wicker or teak furniture with comfy cushions will make for an inviting place to relax.

Exotic Wedding Themes

Weddings have always been an occasion every family looks forward to. Most weddings usually mean booking a party lawn or a ground or an indoor party hall. Wedding halls are decorated using flowers, coloured fabrics and lights. However, this is the usual stuff. Real fun for many now is in doing something that is really different from an everyday wedding. A theme based wedding can really make your wedding stand apart from the usual fare. Below are some of the most popular theme based weddings:

1.Royal Weddings - Do you want to get married like a king would? Well, then a royal wedding would be the best for you. This exotic theme based wedding takes place in a palace. Some of the most popular destinations for these royal weddings are Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Everything right from the carpets to the food that is served to the guests has an essence of royalty. Special consideration is given to what the bride and groom wear and the guests too are requested to dress accordingly.

Wedding Cake Server

Learning about what other people have done when cutting a cake, or even what kind of cake is best to have, makes purchasing a wedding cake server lots more fun. I guess in Rome they used to crumble a wafer/cracker thing over the bride's head to ensure she would have lots of children. In today's society it is the equivalent of smashing a wheat thin on top of the beautifully coiffed head of the bride. Not such a great idea, unless you are planning on having the wedding outdoors, and want a flock of birds to pick it out for you. Of course, now that we have advanced in society to the point that we are so much more adept at good manners, we now gently cut the cake, and serve it to our partner with the utmost of care. However, if you want to consider the guest's feelings, we are all more comfortable observing gracious behavior, instead of watching people make sport of each other.

Charming Country Wedding Ideas

A wedding out in the countryside is a wonderful way to bring friends and family together in an informal celebration. Make the most of the wonderful setting by incorporating elements with a great country flair. Get inspired with these charming country wedding ideas.

The flowers for a country wedding should have an informal, natural style. Loose arrangements of wildflowers, daisies, or seasonal potted flowers like geraniums or mums would be perfect. Choose centerpiece vessels with a relaxed feeling. Handpainted pitchers, mason jars, wooden boxes, and wicker baskets would all be great examples of centerpiece containers with a country flair. For the wedding ceremony, use yellow and white gingham ribbon to hang daisy pomanders from the backs of chairs.
