I need some ideas for theme. My wedding reception will be June 6th in Lancaster, Ca. There are lots of beautiful cherry farms. Thought we’d get great pics with about 20-30 people. Having BBQ at my mom’s ten acre ranch with miniature ponies. Any ideas to incorporate the cherry/country theme?

I almost missed one of the key ingredients: Music! What are you going to do for music? Live band, DJ? Country music?

you can give people local cherry jam, jelly, wine, juice or even just a small basket or cherries for their favor. incorporate cherries into the meal somehow… have ham or turkey with a cherry glaze, salad with dried cherries in it, and serve dessert with a cherry compote.

have your rehearsal dinner at a cherry farm and let your guests pick some cherries to take home with them.

Good luck and congratulations!

make up a cocktail, have cherry in it…give it name that matches you and your fiance.

serve cherry pie instead of wedding cake

bbq type food.

let your guest pick cherries in between ceremony and reception. kinda destination ish
