The White Wedding at Home

Weddings are always a fun and glam event; when planning a white wedding at home, we want it to be an easy and stress-free event. After all, why arrange to plan a wedding at home without reaping the benefits.

For starters hosting a wedding in your backyard can help reduce your wedding budget, not to mention most people, including the wedding couple, will feel more comfortable with their surroundings. There are no time limits like being in a hall or at a restaurant where everything needs to run on time. Let’s face it, theoretically speaking is a more relaxing option.

How to Plan a Wedding at Home

This is where our team at Perth Party Hire shine. Not only do we have a variety of products for your white wedding at home for hire, but we can also assist you with transporting goods and providing professional staff to help out on the day. Whether it be expert advice, help setting up, or professional waiters.

We can help with hiring a marquee, down to the finer things like what glassware pairs with what drinks.
To begin with, once you have acquired space and designed a rough layout out of where to settle your ceremony and reception, then you can commence the hiring of the furnishings to make your wedding complete.

The invites are out, and you will know the number of guests, so it’s time to start looking at your layout and the essentials needed on the night.

What to Hire for a White Wedding at Home.

First things first, taking care of the grandeur details. These are the things that you will need as a base for the night. Shelter such as a marquee or indoor area to host the ceremony.

Furnishings include wedding tables, wedding chairs, a dance floor for hire, and a cake table or stand for the wedding cake. Complete your event with some outdoor seating areas for guests these can include our chillout wicker lounges and our popular Hampton style table and chair sets.

It is good to also think about food and drink stations, so hiring a popup bar can be a super handy way to provide refreshments for wedding guests.

Lights are required for the evening and while on the dance floor and to set the scene outdoors. A professional range of lighting options can be hired via our website, and we can help you set these up on the day.

Planning on hosting the ceremony at home? Then you’ll need an aisle to walk down. Set up a white carpet and a few benches for guests to sit on in the backyard.

A beautifully decorated arbor for the ceremony, a small table with two chairs to sign the final documents, and a microphone for the celebrant is on the essentials list.

You can consider a musician to play soft sounds in the background or delegate your best mate to help with the accompanying music for the ceremony. Of course, you can have some of our catering staff serve guests nibbles and drinks after the ceremony.

GARDEN PARTY STYLE

What is a garden style party?

The glorious thing about a garden style party is the sky really is the limit here, as a garden party can be anything you desire. Here in Perth we are blessed with sunny weather for most of the year, so this is the ideal city to take your celebrations outdoors. Garden parties are those that happen outside, whether it be in your backyard, a public park, national park, large garden or any other outdoor area, and are typically held in the afternoon to take advantage of the natural light and sunshine. More than just a backyard barbeque, garden style parties are a popular choice when a celebration calls for that little bit of extra pizazz.

What type of party is suited to garden style?

Given the versatility of this party style, garden parties are very well suited to a range of different occasions. A lovely outdoor garden party is perfect for baby showers, engagement parties, birthdays, wedding receptions, anniversaries, hen’s days and bridal showers. A garden party can be as informal or as formal as you like and is especially ideal for casual celebrations where guests can feel comfortable enough to kick back, take their shoes off and relax. Garden parties are also great for children, as they are free to run around and make plenty of noise without the restrictions of the indoors. If you want your guests to enjoy the outdoor breeze, natural environment and sunset views, a garden party is where it’s at.

The fabulous thing about garden parties is the world really is your oyster when it comes to how you style and design your celebration. Garden parties can be themed, laid back or fancy, so there really is no typical style that’s used. Popular elements of modern garden parties include flowers, bunting, outdoor furniture, benches, cushions, platters, drink stations, marquees, tablecloths, ice tubs, outdoor bars and much more. There’s plenty of room to add your own DIY touches, while all necessary equipment is also available for hire.

Boho (short for bohemian) is all about combining vintage, hippie and ethnic-inspired items with earthy tones and elements of nature. The boho style celebrates free spiritedness and conjures up a charming old world feeling, with a focus on natural beauty.

Ideas for hosting a baby reveal party

What is a baby reveal party?

Baby reveal parties (also known as gender reveal parties) have become a popular alternative to the more traditional baby shower and are very on trend at the moment. Whereas the classic baby shower is usually a space reserved exclusively for women and children, gender reveal parties involve men, women and children of all ages. The purpose of a baby reveal party is for guests to guess the sex of an unborn baby via a series of fun activities, before the gender is revealed and celebration ensues. On some occasions, the parents of the unborn baby also don’t know the sex of the baby and receive the same surprising news at the same time as their guests.

What type of party should I have for a gender reveal party?

Given that most baby reveal parties involve a series of games and activities, an outdoor garden party is the most popular option. However, depending on the weather or availability of suitable venues, baby reveal parties can also be hosted from your lounge room, dining room, or by hiring a space at a cute café, pub or restaurant. Parents have full creative freedom to use a party style that suits their preferences and the needs of their guests. Gender reveal parties can be as intimate or as large as you desire.

Elements of a baby reveal party

The main purpose of a baby reveal party is to unveil the baby’s gender. People are coming up with all kinds of exciting and inventive ways to reveal this, include filling the inside of a cake with either pink of blue cream, filling a piñata or balloon with pink or blue confetti, unleashing coloured powder bombs, spraying water guns filled with blue or pink paint, and so on. If you’re a parent who is discovering the gender of your baby for the first time at your own baby reveal party, remember you will need to hire or appoint a host responsible for creating the reveal element for you, so you can enjoy the surprise.

Other than the gender reveal element, the typical baby reveal party includes food, drinks and games. These are usually quite casual affairs, so hosts have full reign to create a party that suits their personal tastes. We love the use of cute props, adorable snack bar set ups, drink dispensers, tablecloths and tasteful decorations for baby reveal parties that are relaxed, stylish and embody the magic of this exciting time.
