Ok here is my plan in the making, only have four months to plan and going with a small budget.. So this is what I am thinking... just need a little feedback,
Inviteing only close friends and close family,
October 15th Morning Wedding, 10:30... simple short and sweet ceremony outside under the shadetrees right by the lake on my grandmothers place :) Only decoration being gorgeous white chairs and minimal floral accents.
Petiete reception on site that will include cake, fruit, muffins, and maybe even some doughnuts! AND Mimosa's!! :) This will really just be a short meet and greet per say.
Then we will have time for pictures and to clean everything up.. Then we can relax, I may even sneak in a nap...
Then we will have a party at our house that night at 7 or 8 (very informal) with ALL our friends and family. We will have grroms cake, festive fall finger foods, such as mini caramel apples and popcorn balls, as well as sangria!!
:) I am super excited, I would love some feedback Bee's
I think that sounds really lovely!! Simple but still very special.
I love this idea! It sounds like you'll have a super relaxed and easy-going wedding day, which is so nice. My only piece of advice would just be to make sure you're OK with a morning wedding. If you still want have your hair and make-up done, you might have to get up pretty early. My cousin had a 9 am wedding, and everyone had to get up ridiculously early (I'm talking 5 am, earlier for some). But other than that, this sounds like a great idea for a wedding!
MIMOSA! SANGRIA! CANDYAPPLES! AFTERNOON NAPS!!!! *jumps up and down in excitement.
*nonchalantly: Uh, sounds ok I guess. ;)
oh and in case the humour didnt come through in my cheeky post, I LOVE the whole idea!
@T.R.Bride: We are setting up the night before. And I will be doing my own hair and makeup :) My MOH is my sister and she is flying in from Colorado for the Wedding.. I am thinking I will shoo the FI off over to stay with his brother, and my sister and possibly my bridesmaids will stay at my house and start the day by getting toget with eachother over coffee and munchies :) OH and why not a mimosa tooo :)
@MissNoodles: Humor was shineing through!! :) loved it lol
"MIMOSA! SANGRIA! CANDYAPPLES! AFTERNOON NAPS!!!! *jumps up and down in excitement."
MY thoughts exactly!! :) eeeeeeeeeeee
This sounds great! I had a 10:30 wedding, and I loved it! Everything seems prettier in the morning, and your laid back plan will be perfect!
"MIMOSA! SANGRIA! CANDYAPPLES! AFTERNOON NAPS!!!!
ERRRR......what time did you say we have to be there? LOL
it sounds wonderful, it sounds relaxed and it really sounds fun......
I think that sounds really lovely! Very personal and low key. I think it'll be awesome!
I love your ideas! They sound similar to what I am planning in part. I also have a 10.30 ceremony, but we are having a Brunch Reception (with Mimosas) after instead of an evening informal dinner. We are also planning on fall-inspired foods for the reception.
@anne B: WOW loving the feedback!! I am glad it is good! Now I am even more excited!!
That sounds fantastic. I would love doing something like that... if FH hadn't put every person he has ever met on the guest list... :)
I think it sounds great! Sounds very relaxed and like you will have a great time.
Sounds amazing. I like that its going to be very personal in the morning, than partyish at night.
OH my GOODness....look what I just found... CHURCH pews!! I was planning on renting chairs.. which would be $250.00....
BUT now I want Church pews outside!!! Found 12 eight foot pews!! and they are only $300... bet I can talk em down a little!!! But even if I dont that is $25 bucks a piece!! I can so re-sell em for that! Might could even give thema faux finish, like antique or crackle and really sell em!
AND how sweet would it be to have a pew from our Wedding on our front porch!!
* jumps up and down* LOVE!

I've got butterflies over these pews!
Just have to convince the FI and my Dad (he will have to store em for me)
It sounds amazing. makes me want to re-plan our wedding haha.
Go for it!!
got the ok from the FI and my Dad! There is one person in "line" ahead of me, so if they don't pick them up this morning they will be mine!....
BEE's cross those fingers for me!
Your wedding day sounds lovely! And love the pew idea. Forget where I saw it but I saw outdoor pews once for a wedding and it was awesome! Good luck getting them :o)
@kamielynn: your wedding is kicking more and more ass every minute! When is your date? I'm stalking you now!!
@MissNoodles: aw thanks missnoodles. I am flattered by your stalking :)
GOOD news BEE's!! I got the pews and am picking them up tonight!! Super Excited to see and tough em!! Will take pics!!
EVEN better news!.... told a lady at work about them and she may know of some I can have for FREE woooooh!!
:)LOVE it when things fall into place!
I might need to go dress shopping! :-O
With a little help from the FI and a couple friends we went and picked up my BEAUTIFUL Church pews!! They are soo great!! I am very excited.. I wish I could set up everything now! lol
Now the search for stained glass windows!! Oh I WILL have my Church outside ;) Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too
LOVE EM!!!! Don't you??

subscribing to this thread! keep us updated with pics k?
@MissNoodles: ME TOO!!=
@kamielynn: WHAT A WONDERFUL FIND!!!! How great to have the pews outside!!! I can't wait to see how the stuff you find and pull together!
It makes me think of a wedding I saw blogged that had a doors set up at the altar... OUTSIDE! It was so great!
YAY!
they look great......did you pay the whole $300 or was you able to strike a better deal? a stained glass window would look gorgeous with the sun shining through it...
Awesome idea for a wedding! And love the pews!
@MissNoodles: I second that. haha. Your wedding day sounds lovely
UPDATE!
Changed the time, date, and location!! lol Oh and had a Change of Preacher!
