Steffi and Marco’s Breezy & Beautiful Picnic Wedding

Marco and Steffi wedding photo booth August 17 2013

Steffi and Marco selected a beautiful day to get married. The sun kissed the trees, a soft breeze made the leaves dance around at their beautiful easy going summer wedding. Steffi and Marco had a small outdoor ceremony, followed by a super relaxing picnic and BBQ to celebrate their love for each other.
Love, love, love the details of this breezy beautiful picnic wedding and there's still more to see! View the entire gallery here, perfectly photographed by Nadia Meli

From the Vendors:It was really one of the best ideas I have ever come across on how to tie the knot. There were even some games, just like you would do with your family on a real picnic.

Looking for the perfect way to relax the atmosphere of your wedding without losing the fun? This picnic perfection is the way to do it. Point your guests in the right direction with a cute sign, and make sure to include a good combination of games and seating areas. Last but not least, don't forget the food! Treats always make for a happy crowd.

Everything was personal, laid back and just a lot of fun. I was very happy to work with wedding planner Irina Thiessen at this wedding, who worked tirelessly to make it the fantastic day that it was. She put so much creativity and thought into every detail. And the outcome was perfect.

Clever guest book idea:
Marco and Steffi hung chalkboard hearts on an old vintage door that was propped up against a tree. Guests signed their names on the heart, which I am sure they will later use as a keepsake from their wedding. An important tip: to preserve chalkboard signatures spray something like this on your chalkboards after to preserve the artwork.
