Hi everyone

[kpillsbu]

Hello ladies, and congratulations to you all! I am Krista and my fiance and I are getting married on August 4. To be honest, we are not having an actual "destination wedding", because we are getting married near where we live (outside of Chicago). However, we are having an outdoor garden wedding and it will be more casual than most weddings I have been to... more like what I think of as a destination wedding. Plus, all of our guests will be from out of town because we live in a different city than all of our family and friends. I am here for ceremony and reception ideas for a slightly more informal, outdoor wedding. I appreciate any that I can get!

Welcome Krista! August 4th is my b-day so I think you picked a great day. LOL. An informal outdoor wedding sounds wonderful. Did you say you are doing a garden type of party? Have you thought about what type of decor you would like. Will you have tents or not? I have always love weddings in open spaces that have tents. You should be able to get lots of inspiration on this site. Good luck with the planning and let us know how we can help.
