When it comes to planning a backyard wedding, there are certain things that you need to keep in mind before you should even start your actual planning. The key to planning your wedding is being organized and know what type of event you really want to have. With the right backyard wedding ideas you can transform any yard into the perfect wedding of your dreams. While some couples may think a backyard is too casual to serve as an appropriate wedding location, a nice backyard can actually be a unique and charming setting for the wedding ceremony, reception, or both.

The first thing you should consider is who is going to get your backyard wedding ready. You may want to consider hiring a professional company or inviting your friends and family to get the yard ready. Things you may want to consider include cutting the grass, trimming bushes and trees, setting up stones or pavers in the grass area, washing the outside of the house, staining decks and driveways, and planting more flowers. There are tons of different menu ideas that you can have for a backyard wedding. You can go the casual route and have some awesome picnic food or even a BBQ wedding reception or you can go for the more formal menu and have a caterer make all the normal wedding foods that people are used to. A good idea is to try to incorporate the food into your wedding theme and atmosphere. If you are going to have a more casual wedding you don’t want your menu to be super formal but instead could even just do appetizers or different eating stations during the reception.

The gorgeous bride is MaKenzie and she lives at the foothills of a beautiful little village called GreenBluff. GreenBluff is a community of families who own orchards of apples, peaches, cherries, pears, blackberries, strawberries, and pumpkins. It is a place that is homespun and very family + community centered. All of this was used as the inspiration for her bridal shoot. To me, the most wonderful element of the day was a field of poppies.

I take a look at some of the hottest wedding dress trends for 2012, some you’ll like, some you’ll love, some you might even loathe, but we definitely have something to suit every type of bride-to-be.

1. High-Low Hemline
Dresses that are short at the front and long at the back are very popular for 2012. They are the chicest way to show off an amazing pair of shoes and perfect for a modern city chic wedding! They will also give you the best of both worlds and help add to the overall drama and romance of the gown.

2. The Slit
A style that should be worn with a tight-fitting dress, the racy slit can still be very elegant and should be on the top of your list if you have great pins, but still want to wear a long dress. The slit has made its way back onto the catwalk and it’s sexier than ever.

Langkawi, Malaysia, Quick Guide
Where to stay: Perched right above a drop-dead-gorgeous beach and surrounded by rain forest, The Datai is as close to paradise as it gets. When to go: Travel between April and August, after high season trails off but before the rain picks up.

For Coastline and Close Encounters: Loreto, Mexico
The beaches are long stretches of white sand, and though there aren’t any palm trees in sight, you may spot a cactus or two. For a day trip, sign up for an unforgettable whale-watching experience with Mag Bay Tours. They’ll take you to Magdalena Bay (next slide), a Pacific Coast lagoon a couple of hours away, where gray whales migrate every year to give birth.

For Coves and Culture: Hvar, Croatia
There are many spots to settle in, but Hvar is undoubtedly the most glamorous. Get your fill of the beach at Zlatni Rat, just a short water taxi ride away on neighboring Brac. Then reach out to Hvar Tours for a guided walk through the walled Old Town (next slide), the crumbling ruins of 16th-century Fortica Castle, and a Benedictine nunnery. Italy has the Amalfi Coast, France offers the Cote d’Azur, and Croatia is blessed with Dalmatia, miles and miles of dramatic coastline and sun-kissed islands dotted by ruins and medieval villages.
