Evening

Hayley, 2 of November of 2021 at 07:24 Posted on Planning 0 30
Me and my fiance have a few ideas for the evening of our wedding. I was wondering what all you other beautiful brides think.
Firstly were having a summer wedding with a garden type theme by bridesmaids are wearing green but my maid of honor is wearing blue and my veil will be floral...

So my evening ideas are
Back garden bbq (cooked by guest) 2000s and 90s music playing via youtube. Fairy lights in the bushes and lanterns in the trees
Evening on the beach lanterns by the rocks Mexican food
Back garden Mexican food, Mexican music fairy lights and lanterns
Back garden bbq harp music fairy lights and lanterns.
Just asking for everyone's opinions as I'm stuck ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

    All these ideas sound fantastic. My only concern would be asking guest to cook themselves, they may be reluctant to do this in their best outfits. you could look at hiring a catering truck to do BBQ? Also, I would think of the logistics and what your back up plan will be if the weather turns.

    I agree with Charlotte - all good ideas but I donโ€™t think you can ask guests to cook a bbq. If you are keen on bbq (and donโ€™t want an external caterer), could you ask certain people to help with the cooking on the day and supplement it with lots of pre made salads etc so that there isnโ€™t too much to do on the day?


    I love the fairy lights in the bushes/trees but not sure how they would be different for different scenarios (or are they not?). In terms of Mexican food or bbq - what do you and your fiancรฉ prefer? It is your wedding after all!

    Thank you and we've got a large house and the fact were only having 30 people will be fine especially as a few will leave early.
    I do understand that alot especially as bbqs can get messy.

    We've actually already had 3 of the guest offer to cook the bbq. But obviously looking into other things

    We have no idea niether of us have ever tried Mexican ๐Ÿ˜‚ so that's why I've asked for people's opinion.


    And as I said to Charlotte we have had a couple guest offer to do a bbq. And premade salads certainly sound great especially where the day is long enough already.

    I think the BBQ with the 2000โ€™s and 90โ€™s tunes sounds amazing! If we wasnโ€™t having the wedding we are having that is the type I would defo go for. If you already have people offering to do the bbq then happy days! Just make sure you get them an apron

    Sounds like a good excuse for a date night to a Mexican place?! If you have people volunteering to help, thatโ€™s great - and if you go for a bbq then you can have things prepped and theyโ€™ll just need cooking! It all sounds lush - I can see why you are struggling to choose!

    I think any of these sound lovely and so relaxed. You can't go wrong with any of them (as long as you do actually like Mexican food!!!)

    I got mine of heboes its online so you have to know your exact size all hand crafted dresses make to fit each and every side I was hesitant but when I tried on my dress I fell in love even more fit perfectly and looked exactly like the picture other then the fact I wore a top below.


    As for suits I have the same problem except different blue for h2b or the groomsmen or black for which one I'm baffled but heboes for dresses weather it's for bridesmaids, MOH, MOB and of course you as the bride. Hope I helped

    Thank you and I hope the bridal shop goes well and I'm sure your daughter will love to go with you and dont worry about attention being on you. Just take your mind of that, no matter what it's going to be on you. I hate attention too I wont even be a bridesmaid if it wasnt for be catholic I wouldn't be getting married ๐Ÿ˜‚ I hate it that much. My 18th birthday my mum went all out with decor in the kitchen I got up before her walked into the kitchen for coffee and kidding you not my reaction was "nope" and I went straight back to bed ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    You cant avoid attention especially when your getting married. All you can do is take your mind off it think of "hey tomorrow there wont be any attention on me it's just today" that's for the big day anyway once you married it's all over only have to worry about your birthday ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Good luck and try and remember the attention wont last long at all โค
