What to do???? wedding and reception in same location

TARIUSERIC

Hello I need some help on my wedding/ reception. My venue is an open area there is no place for me to hide before the wedding starts. I will have to wait in the limo till everything get started. I am ok with that. My biggest matter is when I get ready to walk into the building. I don't want everyone to see me right when I walk in. I was thinking a fake wall or something to sheild me and the wedding party. What ideas you may have for this? I really don't know. My florist is looking for some things to come up with.

If you are really against people seeing you before hand, you could wait in the limo as you said, and then couldn't you wait outside the doors until your music started and then walk in? I can't picture it without seeing your space, but even though I also preferred for people not to see me hanging out before I walked in, I don't think I'd go so far as to build a fake wall.

I've seen people use old doors, like this

Pipe and drape?

I don't understand....is your wedding inside or outside?   

If it's outside, then I think you just kind of have to suck it up that people are going to see you before you get to the "aisle."   I'm not sure how I'd feel about waiting in a limo...it is REALLY hard to get out of those things gracefully, especially in heels (just ask Lindsay Lohan), and a train doesn't help either.

The Pipe and drape is good idea. you can also rent or buy small tent or a nice  Portable Canopy your family or friend may have one .. either way  you can decorate the outside elegant.. so when you  walk out all eye are on you

This makes me think of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo's wedding where they were trying to escort her in what was basically a tent so that helicopters full of paparazzi couldn't see her.

Pipe and drape works or you could rent screens.  I'm not sure why you can't just wait outside the doors.  I just went to a wedding where the bride did exactly this.

I am really thankful for all your great ideas this helps me out a lot. I really like the pipe and drapes idea. So I will run this by my wedding planner. It may come down to me just waiting in the limo. I will let you all know which way we plan :):):) 

Thanks again for all your ideas.

<div>I like the idea of the pipe and drapes, then if nothing else I may just wait in limo. I just wanted to do something a little different. Then waiting in the limo will cut down on expenses, a little one less thing to worry about.</div><div>Thanks </div>
