Tented Weddings in your Very own Backyard

Many of our couples this year are choosing to use their very own backyard with a tented wedding to house their weddings. Now that the snow has melted and we are entering spring, jump into your wellies and venture outside as it is time to begin planning how you will transform your backyard into a gorgeous wedding venue.

Look around-how can you utilize what you already have to your advantage? Here are a few things that I like to see…

-Trees to hang lanterns from

-An outdoor patio  surrounded by flower beds for cocktail hour or the ceremony

-A fence along the driveway that can be embellished with flowers in mason jars

-An in ground pool is the perfect location for cocktail hour…float candles or mums on the surface for more ambiance

-A stone fire pit could create the perfect atmosphere for an after-dinner s’mores station

Happy Planning!
