Pretty Chairs for Your Ceremony Setup

Your chair of choice for your ceremony will greatly affect the ambiance--make sure you choose ones that are not only pretty but also comfortable. It would also be good if you ask your stylist to use chairs that match your wedding theme. Take a look at these wedding ceremony chairs that simply look lovely! 

You can go for the usual monoblock chairs covered with cloth. It can be the most practical choice, as it is cheap and common, but a little personal touch and it can make your ceremony venue look magical.

These bistro chairs are perfect for your rustic wedding, barn wedding, or any garden wedding ceremony. Note: the burlap aisle goes very well with these chairs!

You can also opt for iron chairs with antique details. That is if you are resourceful enough to find a supplier or if you have extra money to ask your stylist to provide some!

These steel folding chairs may look common, but when they are in white and lineup together in a garden wedding ceremony setup can look pretty.

Tiffany chairs are dainty even though common. Many suppliers offer reasonable upgrades from monoblock to tiffany chairs. Decorate at your whim!

DIY Photobooth Ideas for Outdoor Weddings

It can be quite a challenge to set up a photo booth especially if the wedding reception is held outdoors, such as in a garden, ranch or beach. Still, I see it as a great opportunity to be even more creative and unique! Check out these examples of photo booth backdrop / setup, which are mostly DIY. They're practical and one-of-a-kind. 

1. Tie a burlap or an off-white canvas cloth between trees or stands, and don't forget to hang mini flags for some character. To make it unique, you can also try hang polaroids of you and your fiance!

2. Hang ribbons to for your backdrop. They will look like drapes. For texture, make sure you cut the ribbons in different lengths and hang beads or strings. Of course, use colored ribbons that match the theme of your wedding.

3. This will need a little bit more effort to pull of. You will need a couch, a small table, some pillows and cloths. Throw in some books, a camera, old chest or any items that match your wedding theme. This one is my favorite!

4. It's the cutest one, to hang a frame that looks like a polaroid frame. Very easy to pull off!

Yarn Poofball Bouquet

Want to save money on the florist? I found this idea online, where the DIY bride used yarn poofballs in place of flowers to put on the tables. These are pretty and very easy to make (and cheap too). I might consider using these, but I will have to try making one first! 

Wine Glasses for Centerpiece

It is another elegant way to decorate your tables! Wine glasses placed upside down, flowers inside the glass and candled on top of it. It could possibly go well with my summer themed wedding, but I wonder if a sunflower and lemon or orange fruit would fit inside? Gotta try it first!

Luminaries by the Aisle

If I would be having a beach wedding, I would have luminaries on the aisle where I would walk down. I am having a wedding by the pool instead, so luminaries would be placed by the pool to give it a brighter glow. I'm so excited! 

Folding Chair and Mason Jar

This photo completely shows the elegance and minimalistic flair that I want for my wedding ceremony. I put sunflowers in the jar, though and the chair would be painted white. It goes without saying that nothing could go wrong with a pretty mason jar! Some may think that this is too plain though. What do you think?

Romantic Mason Jars

I've been seeing a lot of mason jars on photos as part of decors of wedding receptions and ceremonies. I'd love to have some of those on my wedding day! They're elegant but simple. My idea is to fill one fourth of the jar with white sand and place a candle on top of the sand. Easy? We'll see!

Surreal Ceremony

Its a neat and attractive setup for the wedding ceremony. Had a meeting with my caterer this weekend, and they are charging quite a lot for the ceremony setup and decor. The practical bride in me is trying to figure how I can DIY something a magical as this!

She's Always Right

I am sure that grooms already know this even before they proposed to their ladies! If so, well that makes him Mr. Right. This is a cute wedding idea, and although I'm not going to do this for my wedding, it made me smile today!
