Outdoor Wedding Reception Ideas

I'm still throwing ideas for my wedding reception (our families range from being elegant enough for super sport, which may make it difficult), but I think sort of outdoor picnic / BBQ in a park near river. Very picturesque. However, I am worried about cakes melting, bugs, decoration, the weather, you know the usual. General tips, suggestions, ideas, horror stories of outdoor weddings, or achievements of outdoor weddings (especially reception) that you have heard?

I am planning my wedding reception outdoors and for the same reason. I am lucky he is at my parents house bugs will not be a problem. My father sprays 3 times per week, one month before each event, he throws home. You can see if you can do that if you choose the park.
You also need a tent. I [t care for me .. tents but you should have one. What if it rains? More ... tent to prevent your cake from melting and guests will have a comfortable place to sit on the elements. You can decorate it with lots of colorful fabric paper lanterns /. We have huge fires can in the colors of our wedding night if our tent will be blue and green on the inside while the people dance. I would not worry about setting a little too ... You must understand that you can decorate an outdoor wedding the same as you a wedding reception inside. You still need table linens, you can choose colors really awesome that allows to set the mood, and I want to make some relatively simple flowers. I order white orchid fiftyflowers.com bulk and arranging them in vases glass vase 15 requests. In addition, we have bought a ton of candles at night to witness the tent.
The best way to serve dinner, you will find a buffet. Personally, I do not like buffet, but they do not need electricity and everything stays warm. You also will want to get big boxes, you can fill with ice and equipment with water, soda, whatever you may be drinking. In addition to that we just got back from buying a ton of alcohol, we hired two granola bar offers a bar for rent. Youre also going to have to consider hiring help, because you're not in a room and it is easier to clean.

Is there a source close to the river? If so, you can rent a dance floor, get extension cords, and a DJ. If not you can always connect your iPod to one of these portable iPod and be able to havemusic and dance this way.

Have you thought about bathrooms? If there is no bath very close, you'll have to rent portapottie (ick) ... this is not elegant, but also an imperative.

What's your color? Are you traditional? I have so many ideas for decorating outdoor weddings, but I need to know more about you:)

OMG good luck to you sweety. My cousin had a wedding at the door and he started very well. She went with a theam cowgirl / boy. The guests sat on a bail of straw. She had wild flowers and cacti. She arrived on a horse with his big brother to follow him. [His father was adopted several years ago] During the exchange of vows a lady screamed murder blood. Turns out a rattlesnake did not sit on and the little lady. His cry is the horses jump and run right into the reception area. The tent holding the 1000 dollar was the cake. Thank heaven, the cake will be slightly bent. After the vows were finished, they had the reception and it was so hot that the bees and flies came out in full force. The cowboy has a little two drunk off beer and fight to see who's fault was because the lady got his leg bit by a snake and had to go to the hospital. Groom get a black eye and broken nose. The police thought the cake tasted good. The bride and groom finally got out of existence honeymoon without further interruptions.
