How To Get The Perfect Ranch Wedding Off?

Grew up on a homestead? Or is it the quaint charm and the rustic refinement of the country side that appeals to you? If you are planning to say “I do” on a country side ranch, here’s what you need to consider to make sure your day is perfect!

Pick the venue beforehand. This is important; everything else depends on where you plan to exchange your vows. Visit the place you pick, and see what activities could be arranged for the guests: horse riding, fishing etc.
Remember you’ll be in the country side. You may find the perfect location but everything else? You might have to bring that all in to host a big party. You need a big budget for that.
Expect the weather to be moody. Since you’d be out at the country side, the sun could be harsh, there could be scattered showers, and oh, do count on getting a surprise visit from the bugs too. Be prepared for all circumstances: bug sprays, parasol sprays, umbrellas just in case, and refreshing drinks to beat the heat.
You could face trouble for guests’ accommodations. There would obviously be nearby hotels but most of them aren’t what you’d want to treat your guests with. Get creative. Add personal touches to the rooms. Small details like pillowcases, or fresh flowers to make them feel welcome.
Work with the theme. Stick to the basics. Try and incorporate the rustic beauty of the countryside outdoors into your wedding décor. You could always mix it with a bit of contemporary styling for a more eclectic look to the party.
When you’re doing a wedding cowboy-style, let the food reflect that too. Go for fresh seasoned vegetables, locally reared cattle steaks, some tacos, and nachos to bring in the fun.
Dress the part! If you want to go all aboard with a proper ranch wedding keep it real with knee length dresses – watch your comfort. Some cowboy boots and hats for the men paired with classic bolo ties.
