A Rustic Summer Lakeside Wedding

Ok there's not a wedding coming up, but my daughter who is 21 has been planning her wedding. No, she is not engaged...but hopes her boyfriend will pop the question soon. So what does a girl do in the meantime......plan the wedding, of course! LOL

You know me I LOVE to design, decorate, plan so I was all over this!! My daughter actually loved what I came up with after hearing what she wanted, so now let me show you my version of a Rustic Summer Lakeside Wedding........

The idea is to have a evening wedding in August 2011 (maybe) around 7pm at the lake. Now I'll explain the pics on the inspiration board.

Hubby is into hot rods and is building a 1946 Chevy Truck so think it would be cool to have the bride & groom take photos by (like in photo 1). The reception will most likely be indoors but plan to decorate the tables with wild flowers, lanterns (photo 2). Galvanized tubs/buckets would be used to hold the hor'derves (photo 3) Flower girl will wear a similar dress with green sash (photo 4) Cake will have wild flowers on top accented with green (photo 5) Guests will take home either a personalized lemonade mix or a wild flower bulb with a tag that says "plant one on us" (idea taken from This Young House blog) (photo 6&7). Guests will sign 2 wooden oars instead of a guest book (photo 8) Hope to find an old wooden canoe where guests can put the wedding gifts in (photo 9) Sparklers for guests to hold up as couple leaves for honeymoon (photo 10). Bring Thank You sign for bride & groom to hold up on wedding day during photos to use as their thank you cards (photo 11). More wild flower displays (photo 12). This is the actual lake location (photo 13 & 14) Wood signs on the way to the wedding (photo 15) Rose petal aisle (photo 16).

What do you think?? Do you have any other ideas for us?
