Outdoor Wedding Decoration Ideas

In the moths of June and July, summer isn’t the only season in the air; there are also weddings and you may as well call it the wedding season. The next best thing to getting married in a church is getting married outdoors and while most people dream of somewhere next to a stream or in an apple orchard, they’ll have to settle for places like open fields or sometimes even their grandparents’ backyard.



Here are a few ideas for a nice outdoor summer wedding. They might not be a complete wedding plan but they’re bound to help you sort a few things out.

Wedding aisle
You can try renting trees to mark the start and end of the aisle and to frame an archway where the couple will get married. Use lights to mark the aisle (much like the landing strip for airplanes) using fun lighting options. It’ll work best for the weddings that are held after noon. Make sure you add a runner, don’t leave the aisle bare. If you’re really in the mood for colors, you can scatter flower petals down the aisle. The only problem with the idea is that it doesn’t leave much to do for the flower girls. Balloons are never really a good idea because they can pop or even charge someone’s hair. You can mark the end of each row by using either low flower stands or making small bouquets that can be pinned to the chairs and wrapping some string lights around them.

Center stage
The place where the couple exchange vows is center stage and it needs special attention. One of the best ways to combine color and elegance is to use drapes over the area either with or without arches. If the wedding is in an open field where there are few trees, you should rent some trees to mark the area. It’s best if you can get an arch though, ordinary and possibly ugly arches can be covered in fabric and flowers to look spectacular. A fun thing to do with the arch is to put lights on the inside and then cover it with fabric to give it a glowing look.

The center pieces
Center pieces may be a small part of the wedding in retrospect but a lot of thought goes into making them. One of the best things to include with the center piece is a personalized message from the bride and groom. After that you can use anything from seashells and marbles to flowers and floating candles. A fun idea would be to make edible center pieces from either fruit or chocolate.
