The ever popular "Picnic-Style" Wedding has been growing over the past few years and we've certainly seen our fair share. But lately they've taken somewhat of a fun twist...
Picnic weddings have always been a reliable way to have a frugal and fun reception, but by getting a little creative and letting their hair down a bit, many brides are now turning the BIG DAY into a carnival like celebration! It's a chance to enjoy classic favorites like hamburgers and hot dogs with cotton candy, pretzels, cheesesteak sandwiches and more- without looking cheap or tacky.But like any good wedding, it has to be done right.
A themed wedding, any theme, needs to be carried out entirely or the whole thing falls apart and looks mismatched. Like an elegant, black tie wedding with a partial baseball theme, it just doesn't work if the elements don't match up.
But take heart!
Being "themed" doesn't cost an extraordinary amount of money-
nor does it mean that your wedding has become a three ring circus. Rent a local park or use a family member's backyard. Recruit friends to help make fun games like ring tosses and photo boards. Hire a local art student to draw caricatures. Ditch the flowers and decorate with candy- rock candy bouquets, cotton candy centerpieces, gumball favors, etc.
It's a chance to celebrate this incredible day, your way. Show off who you and your groom are, your interests, your whimsical side. After all, once the vows are said and rings are exchanged, isn't it just one big celebration??
Loosen up and have fun!
It's your day.
