Okay, I just went through tons of old post on here about standing ceremonies and how badly they are reacted to, that is NOT what I'm saying here.. my idea is blanket/picnic style seating. This is not my only option and if you all think its an awful idea I'll nix the idea.
I saw this picture (below) and my heart did a little flutter. How precious is that set up? I know that for a formal event this is a big no-no (dresses and grass stains and highheels oh my!) But my event is on the 4th of July, reception is a Lobster Boil/claim bake - eat with your hands and drip butter, wear whatever you feel like event. Could this work for me in my situation? My first thought was I could have a little picnic basket at each blanket with some old fashion glass pop bottles, or maybe we'd bottle our own drinks? And then watermelon on a stick maybe.. just to get the theme involved.. I really like the idea but don't want to get caught up in the cuteness and be ridiculous - Opinions?
