If you have decided to have a waterfront wedding, possibly by a lake, you may be interested in ways you can create an incredibly unique ceremony and reception. You want your day to stand out from others that have been at the lake. So, how can you do this? Keep reading to learn a few cute and unique ideas that will ensure you have the perfect wedding while also giving you and your guests something to truly remember the day.

Place Your Drinks In a Canoe

Since canoes are used in lakes, why not use a canoe in your reception to hold all of your beverages? This can serve as a self-serve bar and décor all-in-one. It is perfect for rustic wedding décor while also helping to tie together the theme. Plus, it is easy to throw some ice in the canoe and add bottled beer, wine, sodas, water, and other beverages that you are interested in serving to your guests.

Jump Into the Water

If you are looking for a fun and creative way to "leave" the wedding rather than the traditional getaway car, you may want to consider jumping into the lake. You can even consider inviting the rest of your wedding guests to join you for a quick swim — if they are brave enough.

Take a Canoe Ride

If you want to give you and your new spouse a little bit of alone time after the ceremony and before the reception, consider taking a canoe ride. This little bit of alone time can also be used to snap a beautiful picture that will help you remember this big day for the rest of your lives. Then, after a short time, you and your lover can arrive at the reception in style.

Hold Your Ceremony on the Pier

As a general rule, there is going to be a pier near the location where you are considering holding your ceremony and reception. Well, why not use this location to its absolute full potential? As long as the pier is of sufficient size, you may want to consider using it to hold your actual ceremony! It would be incredibly unique and dramatic in the perfect way. Just be careful so that no one falls off as you are saying your wedding vows, but if they do, you will at least have a funny memory of your wedding day!

A waterfront wedding venue may be just what you need to create a spectacular day.
