We have to consider the fact that it *might* rain on our wedding day. Not good considering EVERYTHING about the wedding is outdoors... in the cold! So whoever's not taking our wedding seriously because it's outdoor on our property(backyard/camping connoctations) and thinking we're doing so because it's more cost effective can love it. Having it out here actually costs *more* than having it at a regular church and restaurant venue combined. Here's why: we're renting the individualized tables, chairs, and buying all of our linens, silverware, and chinaware in addition to purchasing and making centerpieces. Oh, we also have to have a plan B as well: renting a tent is just plain ugly and counterproductive. What's the point in having an "outdoor" wedding when you're just going to be putting them under a tent anyway? You still have to decorate as if it's an indoor setting- not going to work.
Our plan B is to clean out and make space at FFIL's 1st story of his sweet, rustic home. Either that, or combine it with handmade canopies/tarps(white of course!) and take it from there. Which is one main reason for us have it here in Molino, FL- much less chance of rain! Anyway, I absolutely love our "venue"- so natural, beautiful, and it allows me to be extremely creative because we're not limited to what the church or other venue's restrictions. We can have whatever food we want, drinks, decor, music, style, etc. For the reward of creativity and meaning, I'd rather work 3x as hard to make this wedding truly personable and uniquely ours.
