Many brides that are opting to get married during the Summer months prefer having their wedding in an outdoor setting. We have compiled a few crafty ideas to transform the back of your garden to be suitable for an outdoor wedding.
Unconventional seating
With an outdoor wedding comes a selection of choices when you think about outdoor seating. Many people are using homemade wooden furniture benches, decorated hay bales or glamorous rented seating. An excellent idea is to buy mix match furniture from charity shops or ask friends and family for pieces that are hidden away and not in use.
Flower garlands
One of the most whimsical and fairy-tale-inspired ideas for outdoor weddings are flower garlands which can be incorporated as table decorations, decoration along fences or chairs and flower arches.
Ceremonial backdrops
There are excellent ways of adding a personal space to your wedding venue. You can have fabric drapes over tree branches, tree trunk arches with flower garlands or up-cycled wooden doors as a backdrop for photos. These ideas can be incorporated indoors or outdoors.
Lighting
Lighting is a predominant feature when it comes to setting the scene for your wedding. Lighting is usually easily manageable indoors, but for outdoor use, it can be a bit trickier to control. Adding festoon lights is an excellent choice for lighting up the space and creating an ambient and festive atmosphere. Another option is using candles. Nothing says romance like soft candle-light. Candles can be placed on candles sticks, in jars or lanterns and used as added table decoration.
Hanging décor
The advantage of having an outdoor wedding is that the surrounding natural outdoor beauty can be incorporated into your décor. Glass bottles with tealight candles or florals or other hanging trinkets can make the space look beautiful.
Mason jars
Mason jars are super versatile and can be used for anything from candle holders to cutlery dispensers and floral displays.
Wedding signs
There are a lot of crafty ways of making your own signage which won’t have to cost too much. From chalkboards to craft paper scrolls, you can use your imagination.
Balloons
Whenever balloons are featured as decorations with any event, you know you are at a party. And with the wide selection of colours available, you can most certainly find ones that will compliment your décor to a tee. Helium-filled balloons is a must if you want to obtain a certain height. If you don’t want to spend too much money on balloons, you can opt for small displays and add pretty ribbons or string to give them that extra special touch. Balloon bouquets have become a popular trend for many businesses and individuals for decoration purposes and can add an extra layer of festiveness to the overall look. You can shop everything balloon-related at affordable wholesale prices from Bargain Balloons.
Streamers
Streamers have been used since ancient times and are a firm favourite when it comes to indoor and outdoor decoration. They are simple and chic and can be applied in several different ways, i.e. chair decorations, ceremonial backdrops or hanging displays.
