Wedding Cost

My fiance and I have been engaged for a while, but every time we try to set back money for a wedding to start planning, something comes up. Car tags, new tires, a fire, etc. So we’ve decided to just try and put together a small wedding with just family and close friends. I am really not into a formal wedding setting, so the setting will likely be my in laws lovely wooden deck in their backyard, or my parents yard under large oak trees. Any ideas are welcome, although i’m not really into the whole luau theme. Thank you!

Hello hun, A great Idea would be somewhat of a " candle light garden " theme. Litterally its as simple as it sounds. Lots of candles everywhere even flat round candles sitting on low surfaces to regular candles on tall candle sticks to floating candles in water which in your case pretty glass bowels filled with water and floating candles or water lilies. Since it is an outdoor wedding I suggest a wedding tent incase of rain. Your local rental store should have it inexpensively. If you can, try and find wisteria vines that still have blooming flowers on them and decorate the deck or where ever you may see suit. Or if your willing to pay the money, buy flowers from your local florist.

If you have it at your parents you can buy white lights and thread them through the tree and it should look wonderful. A cute thing that a lot of people do is buy a lot of disposable cameras and let the take pictures of the wedding. Are you looking for more activity ideas or decorating ideas?

I wish you the best with your wedding hun and a lifetime full of happiness in your marriage.
