Does anyone have any decorating ideas for a wedding cookout party?

Question

We are having hamburgers/hot dogs and the usual fixings (baked beans/potato salad). I am looking for any way to decorate my home creatively, yet inexpensively,while continuing with the cookout theme both inside and outside my house.

Answer 1

it seems like a summer-y event so i think that you can't go wrong with bright colors and bright candles all over the place, and a fire pit should warm things up

Answer 2

hang Christmas lights all over outside so at night it looks real pretty- borrow some from friends of you don't have enough. use nice sheets as table covers, jars for flowers, baskets to hold plastic ware and napkins, get some of those paper lanterns to hang up outside too (seen them at discount stores for cheap). I don't' think you'll need to do the streamers and paper bells for this party- keep it a little country chic for the BBQ. check out Goodwill for great deals on nice serving dishes, glasses and pitchers-they always have tons of great finds!

Answer 3

If this is for a wedding, I would decorate in white.  I would do some white and silver balloons and streamers. Cluster them in corners, and then hang some of the paper bells.

Then add some stringed clear Christmas lights, it would look very pretty and add a really nice mood to the area.  

You can also add some some candles and clear vases to put the candles in. You can also put some flowers on the tables to add a burst of color.

For color, I would accent in the colors of the bridal party, whatever color they're wearing is the color I would accent in.  You can use that accent color in the balloons and streamers and flowers, etc.  This way it's not all white and adds a touch of color. You can also use that color for the tablecloths and napkins and things.

I hope this helps, congratulations!

Answer 4

It seems like a pretty lowkey wedding. Get yellow and red (colors of mustard and ketchup) streamers and tape one end to the top of wherever you like, the door, the porch, wherever and twist it so that it spirals down and tape the other end to the bottom of the door or the floor.

Answer 5

the other ideas are good, but if you have a fire pit take a copper pipe put in inside a garden hose and throw it in the fire it burns blue, green and purple
