Ranch Weddings 101 - part 2!

Welcome back to Ranch Weddings 101 - brought to you from Pick Me Floral and Event Design. The picture below has some more of my absolute musts! A GREAT BARN - Honestly, it's a ranch, right? A great wooden fence - this is where your wedding pictures will be later . . .

Ceremony seating. Okay, if you are getting married on a Ranch, please be eco-friendly. Rather than leaving the carbon footprint of rental chair delivery - use hay bales. Top them with old tablecloths or sheets (this is a great time to do some research on Etsy or check out a local thrift store) Mix and match or uniform - the choice is yours . . .



Some more seating options. The saddle on the hay bale - best way I have ever used to make a 6 year old sit through a ceremony . . .



Okay . . .look above. Pick one or two. That's all. When you are planning your Ranch wedding, it can be tempting to go with every obvious ranch gimic. Either belt buckles or bandanas. Either cowboy hats or running with the ponies in the meadow. One or two of these touches will go a LONG way.

Rustic Archways. Look at what the property offers. Is there a grouping of trees you can hang decor from? Is there a structure that your Ranch offers? Dont fight nature . . .dress up what is already there.

Shepherd Hooks - simple floral arrangements. Best part of these? If you are a thifty Ranch Bride, you can reuse these in the reception.

Are you liking these ideas so far? Come over to Winter Park or give us a call to schedule a consultation on how we can make your Colorado Ranch wedding perfect!
