Yesterday, me, my dad , my fiancee
and some of our family went to visit the venue that me and Skylar will be getting married at. We are just under a year from our wedding date (September 23, 2017) so we wanted to see what it looks like this time of year. We went at 5 o'clock because that is what time we plan for our wedding to be. I took a bunch of pictures to show you guys what our venue looks like and I wanted to explain our ideas and see what you all think! We have already paid for the venue and we will have it Friday - Sunday.
Here is the main area of the place. There is an awesome little waterfall that runs into the lake, right beside a small bridge. Our plan is to have the actual ceremony on the bridge. The big grass area that you see to the left of the bridge is where everyone will be seated. We will line all the chairs up on that side and the small area on the right of the bridge will be for immediate family to sit at.
Skylar was worried we wouldn't fit on the bridge because she has 7 bridesmaids and I have 7 groomsmen. That's her in the middle and we lined up 7 people to make sure that it would be a good fit. There is just enough room for there to be 7 on either side. Imagine how great the pictures of the ceremony will be with the lake in the background like that!
This is the little creek that has the waterfall at the end of it. It goes all the way up to the top of the hill. I think this will make for some great pictures after the ceremony.
There are beautiful, antique items all around the venue that make for amazing scenery.
This is the main cabin that the bride will get dressed in and we will also spend the night in it after the wedding. The family that built the venue moved these old cabins from all over to this spot specifically to be a venue! There is no telling how much money has went into this place.
This will be an open bar at the wedding. Two of my good friends are licensed bartenders and have agreed to bar tend the entire event for me!
We will have our first dance on this beautiful stone dance floor.
There is even a kitchen to prepare all of the food!
The venue also supplies a decent amount of tables and there are also lights in the trees that will be gorgeous once the sun sets.
My and Skylar standing in the spot we will get married in!
We are so excited for our big day to get here. We still have a ton of planning to do, but at least we have the venue for sure and we already have a ton of ideas to do at this place. Do you guys like the ideas so far? Please let me know! If you want to look into the venue for yourself, please visit https://www.facebook.com/Rusticpinesvenue/
