Our vintage inspired intimate backyard wedding theme may be perfect if you had planned to say \u2018I do\u2019, but are now very puzzled during this \u2018new normal\u2019. Many couples are opting not to delay their big day and to tie the knot anyway with a smaller scale wedding. If you\u2019d rather wait because you have a vision of your wedding that can\u2019t be carried out right now, that\u2019s completely understandable. However if you want to go ahead and tie the knot with your loved one anyway, this theme is not a concession or a sacrifice. It\u2019s beautiful and charming in its own right and the vintage vibe is quite conducive to a backyard wedding! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An intimate event, known these days as a micro wedding, is a sound choice for couples wishing to share this precious day with their closest family members and friends. Quantity doesn\u2019t necessarily mean quality, and I\u2019d go so far as to say the \u2018downsizing\u2019 of guests allows for a higher quality wedding. For many couples, the money saved from not having as many guests and not needing to rent a reception venue can be allocated instead to up the decor, wedding favors, food, fine wines and top shelf liquors for everyone to enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this weeks\u2019 inspirational blog post we\u2019ve chosen a vintage, rustic vibe. With the right decorations and planning, even the most ordinary backyard can be transformed into a romantic fairy tale venue! Another plus is that you get to transform your yard and indoors however you want, meaning that the only limit is your imagination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to perfectly pull off this charming theme is to understand the area you have to work with. I recommend drawing your layout on a piece of paper and play around with selecting different areas for each function of your event. With some fine tuning and maybe a measuring tape, you\u2019ll find a place for everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A word of advice: Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. What do I mean? RAIN. Yes. The bane of any outdoor wedding\u2026and any brides\u2019 nightmare! Just kidding! Rain is no problem for your big day and won\u2019t make it any less special. In fact, rain during a wedding has been viewed for a long time as being lucky. It symbolizes a strong marriage because a knot (tying the knot) is harder to untie when wet! It\u2019s also said to bring fertility, renewal and cleansing for the couple to wash bad memories away and start a new life of happy memories together. I bet you might be thinking something along the lines of \u201cgreat, rain is special\u2026but it\u2019s all wet, muddy, will ruin my dress,<\/em> etc.\u201d I get it, which is why a Plan B is your best friend. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
