Backyard Wedding Decoration On A Budget

A backyard wedding would be your number one choice when considering budget-friendly weddings. Such weddings are not just affordable but also convenient for most couples.

Some might easily think a backyard wedding would be too casual. That is the case all the time. You can still have some wonderful backyard wedding decoration that makes the wedding stand out.

If this sounds intriguing, the next question would be, which is the best backyard wedding decoration to use on a budget? Below are ideas to get you started.

Simple Wedding Backdrops

You may need a backdrop where you enter into the space to have the wedding. Not having an arch is not something many people would want. Well, making one out of a few supplies is possible.

We can use long linen and wrap it around a tree to form the backdrop. Better yet, add candles in candle holders to finish off the look.

You can also hang string lights on a fence in the backyard to create a wedding backdrop. This allows you to have a place to do your wedding photos still.

Personalized Wood Wedding Signs

Making wood wedding signs is not hard. The sign can help in directing people on where to find what while at the same time being a good wedding decoration.

We recommend using different scrap woods and shaping them into arrows. You can paint some, while others can be left in their natural color. Just make sure to have them labeled correctly and pointed in the right direction.

This is a decoration you can do in an afternoon and add life to your backyard wedding.

Light The Wedding With Nuptio Vintage Pillar Candle Holders

In case you might be staying out late for the ceremony, there is the need to ensure you also have candles. The wedding decoration needs to have hurricane candle holders. They are vital in keeping the candle from easily blowing off and making the ceremony stand out.

The good thing about such a wedding decoration is its versatility. It can work well for Christmas and other parties, not just weddings. So, you can take them inside the house once the wedding is over.

Another way of lighting the backyard is using string lights from the trees. This allows you to have better lighting even for an outdoor setup.

Use A Picnic Or Banquet Style Sitting Arrangement

When it is a backyard wedding, you do not have a lot of space to work with sometimes. That is why one long banquet-style table can do the job. Such a wedding decoration allows the family members and friends to have a cozy sitting without feeling far from each other.

Of course, you have to ensure the couple’s sitting position stands out and have a good time at the wedding.

The table can be lower or higher depending on the theme. What is important is to create a close-knit sitting arrangement for all the guests attending.

A Photo Display

All you have to do is get a place to hang the couple’s photos in the backyard as a wedding decoration. We recommend making a rustic board and attaching photos telling a story about the couple.

It can be photos of how they met, their dating journey, and so much more. Of course, their friends and family can also be included in the photos. The idea is to feel that everyone is well-represented in the wedding.

Nuptio Tall Metal Flower Vases

Flowers will not miss as part of the wedding. Actually, you can make it better by including tall flower vases from Nuptio as a wedding decoration. The tall vases are flexible as they can work well on top of the table or the floor.

These flower vases are also versatile since they can work with artificial flowers or as a candle holder. It all depends on how well you would like to utilize them. They might need a bit of assembly, but it is not hard to handle them.

Add a Campfire

It should not come as a surprise as people always have campfires at weddings. We know weddings do not end on time as planned. Because of this, you can always go for a backyard wedding decoration with a campfire at the center of it all.

In this case, the newlyweds are the ones that would light the campfire and invite people to join in having fun. It can be a nice way of winding down the busy day and relaxing by the campfire.

Have Some Lawn Games

A wedding is supposed to be fun, and that only happens when you have games too. A game can be a wedding decoration and still be usable when the time comes to play some games.

Some common lawn games you can play at a backyard wedding include rustic wooden cornhole, LED cornhole, Jenga, ring toss game,  bocce ball, and so much more.

You may want to practice as a couple first before the wedding day. This allows you to play better against other couples or friends attending the wedding.

Conclusion

As you can see, a backyard wedding would be boring. It should give you a nice way of enjoying some outdoor space while getting married to the love of your life. The best part about such a wedding decoration is how you can use so much in nature, including the trees. Use any of the ideas shared above to enjoy a backyard wedding.
