On the Beach

Carol — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:46:12 +0000

An amazing way to have a casual wedding is to have a beach wedding. In summer people like to go to the beach so it makes it more fun and informal. Guests can do their own thing, be less restricted, more relaxed and spontaneous. It’s also easy on the budget if you take into account the natural elements all around you, there’s not a need for huge floral arrangements. You could also just have a picnic while watching the sunset. So romantic!

This is such a relaxed, fun and laid back idea for a wedding celebration. Easy on the pocket and very DIY friendly. You could pull this look off in your garden in the height of summer. Red gingham fabric is available everywhere and is also inexpensive.

As the summer comes to a close I thought I would post some inspiration and ideas suited to our warmer climate. An outdoor wedding brings about an infinite amount of fun ideas. Lanterns, streamers, ribbon and garlands for decor, all of which you can diy. Lots of buckets filled with ice cold drinks.Light summer salads complimenting a spitbraai, with lots of fruit. Don’t forget the cupcakes. We all love those.

Garden Themed Wedding Ideas

With the warmer weather approaching, one of the places you may want to consider holding an outdoor wedding is in your garden. Hosting a garden wedding takes a lot of planning but it’s easier than you think. There is nothing like getting married outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by loved ones. You have the choice of a formal or casual wedding. Going casual, you can reduce expenses by a large margin.

It’s a good idea to have a seperate section with a decorated archway for the vows, with an aisle covered in rose petals leading to the gazebo. This makes for beautiful photos.

Floral arrangements need not be elaborate. If the garden is pretty and in good shape, you won’t need much in the way of flowers. A simple lantern with votives can be oh so stunning as centrepieces on flowery tablecloths.

To give your wedding more of an event feel, as opposed to a normal get together, consider having caterers do the food. A spitbraai in a seperate corner is the ideal solution. Have lots of cold drinks on hand such as punch cocktails and juice.

When the sun starts to set you’ll have to have some form of lighting. Lanterns, candles in glass jars hanging from trees and fairy lights will do the trick. Be fabulous and have fun
