Just like fashion weddings are always changing. The constant change keeps wedding photography always interesting because it is always different.

What is amazing about planning your wedding is that you can make it completely your own. Being from the country myself I have been totally in love with this backyard country wedding theme. I want to talk about some of the the ideas that are trending in this theme here in Maine.

1. Lemonade Stands-the colors of lemonade are awesome, the guests love lemonade, and you can make this stand or table be whatever you want it to be

2. hay bales-places for people to sit, just decorations to make the barn look like a real barn, and for awesome texture

3. mason jars-give them a fun straw and put your signature drink in them, use them as lanterns and hang them from the ceiling and trees, put flowers in them as centerpieces

4. burlap-I am seeing it paired with lace lately, it looks amazing as a table runner, small pieces for the table settings

5. cowboy boots-bringing some Texas to Maine :)

6. wildflowers-sunflowers, daises, queen annes lace, dahlias, ferns etc.

7. old windows-some people write on them and use them as directory of tables, some people just have them around as decoration

8. ladders as decorations-these are great because it adds height to the display, as well as offering a place to put things such as favors, details, drinks

9. clothespins holding the name cards-like hanging the laundry on the line this really gives you a feeling of connectivity and the tags hanging on the line look awesome

10. old wine barrels and pieces of birch trunks-places to sit, pieces to put other decorations on, and a place to paint or carve the name of the bride and groom

11. old truck for pictures or to hold props-who doesn’t like a classic car?

12. candle light-candles everywhere on the tables, hanging from the barns, trees etc.

13. old books-a great place to put the desserts

14. old doors-a way of giving a backdrop to a ceremony in the woods, a way to hide something in a room

15. neutral colored mismatching bridesmaids dresses-I love it when you can tell they are bridesmaids but not because of their dress
