I DO BBQ Rehearsal Lunch

This hotel conference room just went through a make over! We transformed this boring whitewashed room into a backyard I Do BBQ party!

Conference Room BEFORE...

...Conference Room AFTER!

Coffee Can with Plaid burlap ribbon and weeds!

Chalk boards and small canning jars for bbq sauce.

Various sized Mason jars filled with dirt and red tea lights.
Also several jars filled with brown crayons to doodle on the
brown paper table cloth.  

The table cloth is brown paper (bought in a large roll)
The star was painted on with a large stencil.

Wood slabs for texture and height. 

We had a large white wall to decorate... it became the "note to
the couple" wall 

Using a plate and a cup we traced each person's placemat and laid
their silverware nearby for convenience. 

Lanters filled with Apples were each tables centerpiece. 

More chalkboards to decorate the bride and grooms's
chairs. The bride has a bow the groom a bow tie.
(every detail counts!)

More wooden slabs were used a trivets for cast iron pots and hot food.
An array of different lantern and a red plaid cloth create the centerpiece
for the food line. 

If you don't have very much of one themed thing, don't worry! Mix and match what you have to create a unique theme. We paired lanterns, coffee cans, and mason jars to complete this I Do BBQ lunch. We brought together outdoor and indoor, we picked weeds from around the hotel for our flowers. We used paper as a tablecloth and asked our guests to get creative by putting crayons on the table. People have been trying to think outside the box for years, now it's your turn. What would you do to create an I DO BBQ theme?

Are you doing a party soon? What do you think of doing a BBQ theme?
