Ceremonies under Trees

Wedding ceremonies that take place under a large tree truly make for breath taking photographs. It is the perfect location for a whimsical or summery wedding- just remember to offer your guests parasols. The tree can also be used as a metaphor which is very well explained by Anne Keeler Evans- "The root system of a healthy tree is as large and beautiful as the canopy. As you stand beneath the leafy spread, you stand on ground that is held together by an expansive root system that enriches and supports the earth. There is nothing that a marriage needs more than the same sort of grounding a tree has. We must plant the tree, and our marriages, in soil that will nourish and support it (and you). Carefully cultivated, and protected, those roots will flourish and provide nutrients for the tree to grow."

Lawn Games

It is such a relief to see more brides and grooms starting to pay attention to the pre drinks hour- the time between the ceremony and reception. In the past many have just gone off to do their couple and family photo shoot and have left their guests to keep themselves entertained. Lately though drinks and special canapes are often set up or the latest craze are these lawn games. Easy to set up and affordable- they provide lots of laughs and entertainment for your guests.

Lemonade Stands

It is no secret that I love different and fun stands at weddings and the latest to catch my attention is the lemonade stand. They are so easy to set up yourself and are cost effective. It is perfect to serve during the canape hour on a hot summer day. You will not need to organise waiters as it can be set up as a self-service stand or it would be a great way to get the kids from the wedding involved. They are eye catching and make for great photographs- perfect for shabby chic, rustic, picnic, yellow or even vintage themed weddings.
