Country Weddings

There are just some couples who are very much in love not only with each other but also with the countryside.  Country weddings are some of the best themed nuptials when you think about all the possibilities in design, decor, menu, and location.

Country weddings are considerably more laid back than those held in big banquet halls at hotels.  However, this does not necessarily mean that they are any less than memorable or special.  There are many ways to make country events grand, one of which is picking the best location.

Country Lodge with Outdoor Space for Events

When you live in the city, you can easily forget the benefits of the great outdoors.  Getting married in a country lodge in will be perfect if you can find one that has an open space that can be used for parties and receptions.  Book the best venue that you can afford and let the beauty of nature take care of the rest.

Mood Lighting

If your wedding does not fall on a full moon, you might have to spring for lighting equipment to make sure that the reception and/or ceremony will go without any incident because of poor illumination.

Lighting is also very important when it comes to setting the mood for the entire event especially if you opt to have it after sundown. Recessed or hanging light fixtures would make for perfect wedding decor.

Bountiful Menu for the Reception

The money you will be able to save because of the reduced cost for the location can be put toward a very nice menu selection instead.  You can have beef instead of chicken and also serve unlimited amount of liquor for the guests who are in the mood to celebrate their hearts out with you.

Smoked rabbit would also be very classy, along with the dessert buffet that consists of creme brulee, the wedding cake, and a chocolate fondue.
Swing band or String Quartet

One of the best features of a country wedding is the music so you have to put much thought as to what type of wedding tunes you want to be played at your wedding and what group you want to play them.  String quartets are classy but a swing band is always more fun especially those who have a yen for dancing the night away.

Country weddings can be very exciting, as long as you plan for them well and make the effort of bringing your own personal touch to the mix.
