Something Blue – A Rustic Backyard Wedding

An intimate rustic backyard wedding was the theme for this charming day. Backyard weddings are gaining in popularity as more and more couples want to pull back on the amount of guests that they have and keep things more intimate, where they get to say “I Do” in front of their closest family and friends only. Hosting it in the backyard gives the wedding an even more personal touch, especially if hosted in a family members’ home. Just because it is smaller though, doesn’t mean you don’t get to go all out with the design. In fact, with less guests, more can be spent on the décor and vibe of the party.

The Eventful Special Touches:

• Wedding theme concept and design including colors and textures
• Hand-made mason jar vases
• Table Décor
• Lemon and Blueberry Macaroons
• Rope wrapped candles
• Drink station 
• Framed menus

The look for this wedding was simply rustic. The elements that most brought that to life was the use of the burlap, rope and lace. The main color was a rich blue, which complimented the natural elements and the delicacy of the lace perfectly. The décor was heavily focus on the table centerpieces, with the head table being the highlight.

Burlap and lace table runners were placed on top of the blue linens. Over the runners was an array of candles, decorative balls that were covered in rope and feathers, candles and hand-made Mason jar vases that were filled with white and yellow flowers and framed menus. The big highlight of course was the plate of Lemon and Blueberry Macaroons that were also personally made by the ladies at Eventful Moment. The colors worked so well with the rest of the design motif and who wouldn’t be excited to have a delicate sweet treat waiting for them at the table. Plain white and blue plates were used with white linen napkins that were beautifully inserted into vintage cutlery themed napkin rings. Hanging above the center table were white lanterns that perfected the look. A drinks table was also made with refreshing lemonade and mason jars with tags attached for guests to write their name.
