You can set up the area in a very intriguing manner depending on the site and the weather. Hold the ceremony on a grassy area if available with guests sitting on rented white wood or gold Chivari chairs. The flower girls can scatter any type of flower petals down the aisle as the bride walks toward her betrothed who waits for her beneath a rustic arch. The outside row chairs can be decorated with hydrangeas, daisies, sunflowers, or old fashion roses.
All of the decorations used should be welcoming but very rustic. Utilize various old fashion lanterns covered with fresh flowers and delicate ivy for the middle of guest tables. Swag buffet tables, the cake table, beverage station, gift table, and the head table with homey linen or rough burlap with fresh daisies for sunflowers inserted for a true country feel. Use rounds of ten or eight to accommodate your guests.
The props can be scattered all over the ceremony and reception areas. They can consist of old wagons, saddles, rustic fence rail, horse blankets, and more. The more vintage and authentic the venue is, the better the charm and the photos will be.
This type of location requires a very casual menu. Think of barbecue, roast chicken, prime rib, roast beef, pulled pork, or a varied assortment of tender meats. Usually a buffet works best with these type of meals but they can also be plated and served at the individual tables. You can bring your own food in or hire a quality catering outfit to feed your guests. Add a beverage station consisting of lemonade, iced tea, a local wine, and keg beer for refreshments for all.
A guitarist or a country band would be perfect for this type of function. You can actually do both by using a guitarist from the band to play during the ceremony and as guests enter the reception area. The main band can start up after all of the formalities have taken place and the main meal has been served. Always check with the location management to make sure you have enough power and that there is a dance floor and staging.
You will be able to take many memorable and touching photos. There are so many backdrops and natural landscapes to take your pictures. A professional photographer can capture the touching mood of the event and transfer it to the photos he takes.
Both the ceremony and reception at a venue such as this will end up being unique and memorable. There are so many personal touches and additions that can turn this function into a party that will be recalled for many years to come. When their anniversary comes around, whether it be their fifth or fiftieth, they should return to this location to celebrate a long and lasting love.
