Backyard Wedding Ideas Inspiration Board

Most people think that the best thing about a backyard wedding is the price. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The best things about a backyard wedding are; the intimacy, the gorgeous decorations, the fun and the food. When planning your backyard wedding consider using rustic decoration and signs to greet your family and friends as they arrive. Use the outdoors to create your backdrop for the ceremony. What is more beautiful than Mother Nature herself? Fill mason jars or vintage watering cans with wild flowers or loose bouquets to create stunning center pieces for your reception tables. Serve a buffet style meal with all the fixings and fresh lemonade and ice tea to cool your guest down on a hot summer day. Of course don't forget about dessert. Homemade cakes and cupcakes would make the perfect dessert for your guest and be the most fitting for your fabulous backyard wedding.

Our Favorite Things - Aqua. Red, and Brown Paper Packaging

I know I'm not the only one who is obsessed with the modern look of aqua and red paired with cute and kitschy stripes or polka dots. Add in the warm tones and textures of brown kraft paper to get a look with a modern - meets - nostalgic feel that has event planners and bloggers swooning. I've compiled some of my favorite ideas to inspire your aqua and red themed party. Pay special attention to the coordinating personalized party supplies, adorable french fry tray, and striped straws in glass bottles.
