These days more and more brides are looking to give their special day a more relaxed feel. This means that they have moved away from the traditional church and hotel for the reception and have begun to use the backyard, a farm setting, or even gone for the vineyard. If you choose to do this kind of wedding, it is definitely going to give more of a feel of a get together rather than the formalness of a really structured wedding. Not every couple is like that, and that’s okay. Each couple should do what they fall in love with and think best represents them. This is the day to show all your friends and family what the two of you now represent. Perhaps the two of you are avid wine aficionados, and so a vineyard reception at your favorite local winery would be the ideal location. Or perhaps the appeal of horseback riding and tables under the stars has always brought a warm fuzzy feeling to you.
These outdoor venues leave you with room for creativity. Using flowers from the garden in antique vases or mismatched china is definitely acceptable. With settings like this, the atmosphere doesn’t really call for perfectly coordinated table service or restricted décor. Using things that are already there, like a wooden fence or gazebo, can be the perfect pairing of something old and something new. If outdoors isn’t exactly your style, you can also opt for the historic mansions. These offer a unique atmosphere themselves and once you add your style it can truly be a one-of-a-kind wedding. This is another opportunity to show who you are as a couple and what the two of you value. There is nothing better than getting a glimpse of the life of the new couple.
Whether you choose the outdoor setting or just an outdoor color scheme, it can be the perfect move away from the traditional wedding and reception of that’s what you are looking for. Don’t be afraid of doing “something new”. Who knows, maybe one day it will be the inspiration and become “something borrowed”.
