I love the quilt patchwork of color in this group of photographs. What a great way to introduce sparkles of romance and color for the big day. Another great feature to consider is serving up a variety of different freshed baked pies instead of cake

A Country & Western Wedding

In a time, where most couples live out their daily lives in the midst of hustle and bustle, consider an atmosphere of leisure, simplicity, and rustic charm for your wedding day. Rustic countryside weddings can transport you and your guest to an elegant time, tucked way to a simpler time, if only for a little while. Whether choosing a romantic country inn, whimsical country church or a freshly, swept, barn- remember to keep three things in mind.

· Location, location, location.

· Seasonal time of year.

· Guest services

Asking many of your closest family, co-workers, and friends to travel miles and miles might be a little too much to ask. However, it is your wedding and it is a great way to keep your wedding scaled back and your wedding costs way down. Most guests (non-family members) commonly travel up to three hours for a wedding.

When considering the magical place to host your rustic, western charmer consider the time of year before setting the date. Hosting a late springtime wedding eliminates the worry of wilting flowers, bugs {especially wasps, bees and horseflies) and overheated guests suffering through tortuous, stagnate, heat. Winter barnyard weddings are too cold and late August, early September weddings are sure to be a big mistake.

Finally, {for your big day} keeping your guests comfortable and happy, makes for a better lasting impression. Make sure there are plenty of restrooms, and adequate supplies of water and refreshments. Keeping a small first aid kit hidden away, somewhere close by is always a good idea. If there is limited lighting for the evening affairs, start collecting jelly, jam, or even pickle jars right now. Using recycled glass jars not only adds a nice added touch to the decor, it's good for the environment! This terrific way of adding extra light to your affair, also is a neat way to show others around you, the real benefits of "Going Green."
