It really depends on what you are after. I have taken part in two different "yard weddings" One was very nice and still had a very classy feel to it. The other ended up with the bride in her pj's doing tequila shots. So when you plan it make sure that you have an idea in mind of what you want. Outdoor weddings are tough to plan because of the weather but if you live in a temperate climate you may save money by foregoing the tent rental and just setting up tables and chairs outside. To make it nicer try to plan a distinct separation between the wedding and the reception area. Also rent or buy nicer chairs for the wedding and set them up in a traditional pathway with a center isle. Check out rental shops for an archway to get married under. Don't waste time and money on things like favors or the unity candle which often go to waste at outdoor weddings. Plan your ceremony at a time of day where people don't expect food, ie 11 am or 2 pm and have only cake and punch. Also use flowers that are in season and if you are doing artificial try to buy them at sales and collect them or if you are using real flowers try Sams Club or a flower wholesaler for large bunches of flowers. Tie a few with a ribbon and you have bouquets. Best wishes!!

Sure you can - my wife and I had a yard wedding. It was out second marriage for both of us and we wanted to keep it simple but yet special. We had some friends with a normal back yard with an above ground pool and a deck. Nothing fancy with their place but the girls decorated it up a bit and we were married right there on their deck. We both wore formal attire and it was great. We even had a photographer there - the whole thing cost less than $1000 and we had help with friends doing stuff for us, like providing the food for the reception.

Make Wal-mart and the Dollar Stores your best friends. They really do have some nice thing in them depending on the areas you want to go. Some upscale dollar stores(I know that sounds crazy) but the dollar stores in really good neighborhoods seem to have some beautiful things you can get for your wedding. I started collecting for my wedding from there three months ago. I made friends with the girl at the register and i told her what I was looking for really and every time a new shipment came in she calls me. It's the same with Wal-mart they sell every thing just look around and you will find some really good stuff that you might use.

Pick out Your gown or clothing, use folding chairs, a radio with that song that You pick out
decorate with streamers on chairs and down the walk way
Don't forget the Preacher or Justice
make it Your OWN and it will be so PRETTY GOOD LUCK on Your Day

1. ask guests to each bring a hot plate
2. bake your own cake or have someone get it for you as a gift
3. ask a guest to be the photographer for the night or video tape
4. make your own salad
5. coda cans in a cooler
6. use lots of balloons
Make it a theme wedding, like Hawaii or a beach and that way no one has to dress up, it will be casual and easy to decorate.

Buy silk flowers and make boquets and center pieces yourself,then go to a party place and buy wedding decorations--Party Place- get your guests together and ask people to help w/making the food.Make sure theres a GOOD fruit salad and punch(one for adults and one for children) and salad, make it a pig roast or regular cook out w/a few kegs and other drinks for those who don't drink and tell people if they want something else bring it. go to a school gym and borrow tables and chairs. For the cake maybe one of your friends can make it or go to a bakery and they can make you one. buy dress and clothes for wedding, get JOP or priest to ordain and Happy Honeymoon!!!!
