Hey Diane,

We just picked ten able bodied guys to quickly tote them over from the ceremony to the reception site since they were so close and our guests were mingling anyway so it wasn’t much of a disruption. Totally worth the money we saved, plus we could spring for the nice wooden padded chairs over plastic or metal ones, which really set the scene. Hope it helps!

we’re having a backyard wedding for my son next summer. Tiny details that bug me — did you have one set of chairs for the ceremony and another for the dinner? or did you move the chairs from the ceremony to the tables?

Probably 150 guests or so.
Darling wedding and website – yea for you guys!

Hey Whitney,

With just three weeks before our backyard wedding we actually hired out the work of the patio so it was done in 48 hours with zero stress. We selected the shape and the stone and the patio guys just went to work and when the dust cleared we had an awesome patio just in time for the wedding. It was really nice to contract out the work since we were so busy figuring out how to cater an event for 75 in our own yard! Hope it helps…

I have a question about your patio! (btw,your wedding was adorable:)) I am trying to rip up my patio at my townhouse and put down pavers, if you dont mind me asking how much did it cost you? and did you get your pavers at a home depot place or go to a “stone quarry” to get them for cheaper? I have someone coming out to give me an estimate but that is exactly what i want it to look like and I was just curious, any info would help! Thanks!!

Wedding week, what a great idea, combines two of my favorite things, home renovations and weddings.

I did lots of DIY stuff for our wedding too, maybe I’ll steal your idea and post some of them on our third anniversary next April.

You did get lucky with the weather. we had an outside wedding planned too. But in Miami in April which is normally quite dry. In fact, there was a drought for the 90 days leading up to our wedding… and guess what day the skies decided to finally open up? Yep. At least we were able to have the ceremony outdoors even though we did move the reception inside. The one good thing was we got a rainbow out of the deal. :)

Wow – your backyard is huge. What a perfect spot for a wedding! Can’t wait to see more photos. In NYC, no one has this kind of space but I wonder why more people don’t have at home weddings?

I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures. We had our wedding in a church but our reception was outside. We also did not have much of a rain plan. We got married in April in Texas so you never know about that time of year. I’m so glad we picked the weekend we did because it was pouring rain the weekend before and it was freezing cold the weekend after.
