How to Organize a Successful Backyard Wedding

Backyard weddings have become a cost-effective alternative to conventional weddings in which people celebrate in large venues and party rooms. Are you thinking about hosting your reception in your backyard in Denver? Here are a few tricks to help you make your day truly special.

Be Smart with Your Space

Unless you’re lucky enough to have acres of land behind your home, you’re going to have to think about how you can use your space effectively. If you’re short on space, consider using your yard for your ceremony and bringing your guests inside for appetizers while your Colorado wedding rentals provider resets your yard as a reception area. 

Rent a Tent

There are several tent sizes to choose from for your backyard wedding.

Why not provide your guests with a nice shaded area they can sit and chat in? Tent rental services don’t just have colossal party tents — there are plenty of sizes to choose from. 

Save on Decor Costs

A backyard wedding is a perfect chance to save some cash, and be your own florist/decorator! Consider the colors you want to add to your wedding theme and plant flowers in your yard to match them. This does take more time — you’ll want to plant everything at least two months before your wedding to let everything flourish. Try to use plants that are resilient and don’t require too much upkeep, so that you don’t have to worry about them dying before the actual day of your wedding.

Lights Galore

Wrapping fairy lights around the trees and along the ceiling of your tent will make for a truly magical moment that all your guests will take photo ops of. If you want to get creative, try decorating your space with variously sized floor lanterns and tabletop candles.
