At Home Reception
We will be having a backyard bbq celebration for our at home reception. Every month we save money towards home improvements and the Fiance is in charge of prepping the house for our reception. We will be pouring a large patio and building a roof over it to accommodate our guests. We have been planning to do this even before we were engaged and it only makes sense to have a covered patio living in Washington since we get rain so often. These photos are examples of what's in store for our house.
Lighting & Decor
I'd love to re-use the paper lanterns back at home. Maybe something like this. We may go with a luau style theme and get tiki torches to adorn the yard as well. Even though it's going to be a bbq, I'd like to make it classy and pretty and still do the fun DIY stuff.
Centerpieces
We will be having our AHR in September when all
the dahlias in my flower garden will be blooming, so i'm hoping to
incorporate my own flowers into the centerpieces. I love the submerged
flowers with floating candles. I also adore the mason jar arrangements.
Cupcakes!
Our friend will be baking us cupcakes and I'd love to get these adorable cupcake toppers.
Favors
I really think these mini-pies are adorable so we might try to make these for our guests as little wedding favors.
Centerpiece option 2
I'd love to do a little spray painting on some random thrift store vases in our wedding colors to display some of our flowers from our garden. I may even spray paint random picture frames and set those out as centerpieces.
