how to plan a backyard wedding
Nothing says hope for the future more than a garden
wedding in spring or early summer when the blossoms decorate the trees
and new growth is all around you. It’s an idyllic setting. You and your
groom in a freshly painted white gazebo with your pastor, priest, or
rabbi, and all of your dearest loved ones sitting in crisp white chairs
on a manicured lawn. Afterwards your picturesque garden wedding
transforms itself into a grand reception where you and your loved ones
can celebrate your new life as husband and wife.
Garden weddings and the reception that follows are a
beautiful way to start your new life together. What could be better than
to celebrate your marriage against the backdrop of the beauty of
creation? Imagine all of the flowers decorating your wedding location so
fresh they are still growing!
But what if you don’t have access to an idyllic garden
setting to hold your wedding? Doesn’t that rule out a wedding in a
garden?
Not necessarily.
If you’re like most people, you’re going to spend a
lot of money on your wedding with little tangible to show for it when
it’s over. Yes, hopefully you will have a great marriage and yes, you
will have your wedding photographs, but what if most of the money you
spend on your flowers could give you years worth of flowers? Wouldn’t it
be wonderful to walk among those same flowers with your husband
routinely as your romance grows through the years?
What I am suggesting is this: Take a significant
portion of the money that you would have spent on a location rental and
most of the wedding flowers and invest it in developing your own
backyard wedding grounds. Build a gazebo for your wedding ceremony and
years of sitting with the one you love and enjoying the memories of your
wedding day.
Make a party of it. Have your friends over to build a
wedding gazebo and plant flowers that will be in bloom for your wedding
in freshly contoured flower beds around a party lawn. Turn your old
backyard into a sparkling fresh wedding scene.
You don’t have a house? Maybe Mom and Dad do. Maybe
you can turn their backyard into that picture perfect garden location
for your wedding and many years of visits to come.
