Southern DIY backyard wedding inspo!
Let’s dive in!
So months ago (if you scroll towards the bottom of my page you will see. Post 15) I posted a southern backyard wedding inspo post. (Those were not my photos but these are)
When I tell you my family & my husbands family made my dreams come true, they did!
Let’s start with the first photo. That sign was handmade by my husbands nana, as well as ALL the other signs, and the “unplugged ceremony” sign. His mom & nana also made ALL the centerpieces and decorated the wedding arch after his grandpa handmade the arch out of tree limbs from the backyard. I wanted this wedding to be as DIY as possible and the dream came true. While they worked on the stuff in GA I helped make stuff in AL as much as I could. I assembled a wagon for a flower girl (she was 9MO) and I painted it, and made flower arrangements for it. (Check in the future for the DIY) I did as much as I could but they did the majority.
We did NOT cater, we picked finger foods and both of our families cooked.
We did NOT supply alcohol. We told everyone BYOB & they did not disappoint!
We did have a DJ.
We were kid friendly & we had an activity table for kids to color & draw.
Everything was just perfect.
Planning a Southern DIY backyard wedding can be a joyous and personal experience. Embrace the spirit of creativity by incorporating handmade elements that reflect your family traditions and values. Utilizing local resources for decorations, like DIY wooden benches or beautiful centerpieces, can add a charming touch to your celebration. Consider organizing engaging activities for guests of all ages. Kid-friendly options such as coloring tables enrich the joyous atmosphere and make your wedding memorable for everyone involved. If you're opting for BYOB, encourage your guests to bring their favorite drinks, ensuring a relaxed and fun vibe at your event. Don't forget the importance of music! A DJ can elevate the celebration's energy, setting the perfect tone for your wedding festivities. From dance-filled evenings to intimate moments, captivating music will help create lasting memories. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or a larger celebration, thoughtful planning and family involvement are key to achieving the perfect Southern DIY wedding experience.
