A backyard wedding...

...would be fun with a canopy like this. It wouldn't be that hard to drape the fabric for the altar. I just have to find the yard...

I've thought about one of the many wonderful parks here, but I hesitate to have an elaborate set up in such a public space.

(And these flowers below are gorgeous too.)

An actual family tree

How about an actual family tree at your wedding reception?

This idea from Lulu Events is really charming. Hang family photos and other important mementos to help keep you focused on what's truly important on your wedding day -- family and friends.
