The best thing about summer weddings is without a doubt having a beautiful reception in the sunshine!<\/p>\n<p>Personally, one of my favourite things about summertime is a nice relaxing picnic. Think blankets, picnic baskets and fun garden games&#8230;. doesn\u2019t that sound like a lovely, relaxed and intimate reception? If you\u2019re like me and are drawn to the idea of a casual and fun garden wedding, then a picnic theme may be just the thing!.<\/p>\n<p>I know what you\u2019re thinking, \u2018sounds like fun but a lot of hard work!\u2019.Well not necessarily! Here are some ideas to work a picnic theme into your wedding:<\/p>\n<h2>Marquee Venues<\/h2>\n<p>Why not approach your venue and ask if they provide a marquee? This is a great alternative to an out door wedding as it gives you a back up plan incase the day doesn\u2019t go as planned. Also gives you free reign to explore your picnic themed wedding ideas<\/p>\n<h2>Food Carts<\/h2>\n<p>Food carts are everywhere lately! They\u2019re a great way to get guests talking and provide fun on your wedding. Not to mention the fact that your guests will love having some variety in their food!<\/p>\n<p>Images from:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Every Last Detail\" href=\"http:\/\/theeverylastdetail.com\/2011\/12\/27\/tuesday-tips-go-beyond-the-typical-reception\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The Every Last Detail<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Polka Dot Bride\" href=\"http:\/\/www.polkadotbride.com\/2010\/06\/alyson-and-craig-engaged\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Polka Dot Bride<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Polka Dot Bride\" href=\"http:\/\/www.polkadotbride.com\/2010\/02\/katie-and-morgans-backyard-engagement-celebration\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Polka Dot Bride<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Every Last Detail\" href=\"http:\/\/theeverylastdetail.com\/2012\/03\/27\/southern-picnic-wedding-inspiration-shoot\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Every Last Detail<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SB Chic<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite part of summer weddings?
