It's Your Big Day So Make Sure To Get Help With Planning Your Backyard Wedding
by:  Tim Gorman

 

 

Backyards can be wonderful, intimate and beautiful places to be married and celebrate. With a few small accommodations, your backyard can be transformed into a perfect spot to entertain wedding guests. The trick is to plan ahead of time, consider your budget, the weather, yard size and number of guests.

It may seem difficult at first, but most of it has all been thought out before -- you can get excellent wedding plan books that iron out all the wrinkles for you ahead of time! Don’t let the size of the effort overwhelm you; just survey the lawn, check your finances, take a deep breath and start at the beginning.

So, think about it: you will basically want an attractively decorated, warm, dry place for your guests to view your wedding and celebrate afterwards. Your backyard will have to be big enough to accommodate the number of guests you’re inviting, a space for you to say your vows and a place for a meal. Dancing and entertainment might take a bit more room. Look at your weather possibilities; there is no sure thing, but historically, what can you expect around that date?

No matter what the Farmer’s Almanac forecasts, have a plan B, whether it be the house or a tent or some other structure. Check your personal tolerance level for possible damage to the yard, your favorite rosebush or garden and plan accordingly.

After these large issues are worked out -- the BIG picture -- you can begin to plan the fun stuff. Decorations, color schemes and menus are the details that personalize and can be most fun. Remind yourself that indoor weddings can be trying to one's patience as well, but you don’t get the bonus of the beautiful outdoors!
