My hubby and I are Mormon, so we had the traditional Mormon wedding in the Salt Lake City Temple. I am not originally from Utah, so I did not want to have the typical "Utah" wedding reception (cookies and punch at the church building). I am originally from the South and so I wanted more of a traditional, southern reception. My Hubby and I both agreed we wanted our reception to be casual and fun, and I would have free regin of planning the reception, but he would still have the power to veto any of my ideas he thought were too outrageous. The most important thing we decided on before the wedding planning process began was that no matter what disasters happened on our wedding day we knew we were going to be happy because at the end of the day we were married and that is what really mattered.
My mom and my sister (the best maid of honor ever!) and I were trying to plan the wedding on a pretty tight budget so we did A LOT of things ourselves. Luckily we are all pretty creative, and my mom is an excellent seamstress, so it worked for us. Since I just got my pictures back from my photographer this week I am excited to share those ideas that helped make mine and my hubby's wedding day unique.
First of all, we chose an amazing location, The Brigham Young Farmhouse at This is the Place Park. A great location is key to a reception on a budget because if the location provides a spectacular background, then less money can be spent on decorations. So once we had the location, the style and the theme of our reception, everything was able to blossom from there and it all came together beautifully in the end.
