Weddings - Planning a Small, Outdoor Wedding

Perhaps you're the type of bride that doesn't want a large wedding. Perhaps you're the type of bride that only wants a handful of guests, and would rather keep the celebration to a minimum. Not every one wants the extreme attention that most weddings tend to bring. Maybe a small, low key wedding, in the backyard is what you'd like, with twenty to thirty guests, where everyone can just relax, have them self a beer, and take a break from life.

An idea to consider when planning a small wedding is to have it in a friend's backyard. Only twenty people will come which is all the bride really wanted to be there any way. Her best friends since elementary school, her close family members, and his choice of guests are all that they wanted to be there. Everyone is sitting comfortably in wicker chairs, there is no rush to her wedding, why should there be? Life is rushed enough as it is. She's wearing a simple spaghetti strap dress, in an emerald green, her hair is pulled back into a braid, and a flower crown is on her head. The bride is carrying sunflowers in her hand as her bouquet. In the back of the yard sits 5 tables, each table topped with a light green table cloth, and a set of sunflowers. The chair that each guest sits in during the wedding can be moved to the tables later for the celebration, no need in spending extra money when an item can be used for two purposes.

On each of these tables, beside the sunflower, is a small collection of wedding favors that each guest can take home. A simple picture frame displaying the couple, and a disposable camera for the guests to become a photographer for a day. Our bride wants her wedding as low key as possible, so why bring in a photographer, one of the guests are bound to get an amazing shot somewhere! Little pails with calla lily on the side sit in the center of the table as well, a cute little gift for each of her guests. Glass grapes are used as a place card holder which displays each of the guests' names, if she decides to do assigned seating. But since the wedding is of a relaxed nature, assigned seating is not a necessary thing. Most of her guests are either family, or so close they might as well be, so fancy eating is also not an item she chose to do. Instead a small barbeque was set up, and the guests help themselves to whatever they want.

With a little bit of relaxing music, and a small group of those close to her heart, our bride set up her ideal wedding, a small, relaxed wedding. Inexpensive, but what her heart desired most, she had the time of her life, and didn't need the attention that a large wedding brings. Remember, a wedding is a time for you, not for anyone else. Do what you and your fianc?eels is right, and if this small wedding sounds right to you, then don't hesitate to do it!
