 What could possibly be a better way to celebrate your union than in your own backyard, surrounded by loved ones? With our delectable and affordable wedding catering, you only have to worry about decor and entertainment.

"Do you really need a birdcage shaped card holder, fancy pen holders, toasting glasses? Ask friends, shop garage sales and Craigslist and see what you already have that can be dressed up with ribbon and tulle," Kateri says. "We used baskets to hold programs and hung them on a garden hook used for hanging flowers. We also decorated a square of wood with leaves and tulle and hung it on a rustic wooden ladder, then pinned our escort cards to this."

Holiday Tablescapes

 Sitting around the table with family and friends should be about company, but it helps to have something visually appealing. Not only do these tablescapes create a natural ambiance, but they provide a nice conversation piece.

We love a surprising table that manages to incorporate both the glamorous touches that we might find in a high-end hotel ballroom, as well as the more rustic, down-home vibe that feels so cozy this time of year. Blogger Sophia’s Decor achieves the perfect combination, using details like cotton, acorns, feathers and more.
