Pictures of dining table, gift table and ceremony seating from Eric and Leslie's wedding
Yes, I realize the title of today's blog
post may sound a little obscure, but it is in fact the topic and
story that Top Notch witnessed first hand this year. It's no secret
that a wedding venue can be a large factor concerning the wedding
budget. Wedding Venues are not cheap!! As a result, many customers in
the last few years have cut cost regarding a venue by taking the DIY
approach and hosting a back yard wedding. This concept is exactly
what Eric and Leslie opted to do for their wedding earlier this
September. Top Notch began the planning process around March of this
year and received the opportunity to tour Eric and Leslie's home.
They explained to me their plans, as well as what they had envisioned
for their “Big Day”. As we walked outside towards their intended
wedding reception location I saw 2 things.... A large shed and woods.
Little did I know, that the next 6 months would include much labor
including cleaning and tree removal that would result in a
magnificent yard appearance. Even more so, I was impressed with the
simple, yet creative methods Eric and Leslie used to decorate their
yard and shed for the event. Large tree remains served as dining
tables for guests, lights and a chandelier were tastefully hung above
the dance floor of the shed, and Eric's “working tables” in the
shed were masked by table clothes and signage to serve as the gift
table, dessert table, etc. Perhaps, Eric and Leslie spent many of
nights brainstorming the décor and layout for the wedding or perhaps
their brilliant ideas were gathered from internet resources such as
Pinterest, Google, and others. Either way, these two illustrated the
fact that a backyard wedding can be cleverly executed to appear as a
great wedding venue. With a little imagination, time and work, a back
yard wedding can be a great idea to save cost while offering a great
location for you and your guests to enjoy your Big Day!!
