When it comes to weddings, there is really no place like home. A backyard wedding creates the perfect intimate affair for everyone involved. The ability to truly have complete control over the venue gives you the reins when it comes to planning your perfect day.

Wedding Signs

Set the tone and lead your guests to where they need to go with decorative signs. These simple signs can be made to perfectly match your wedding theme and also can be a fun project to do with your soon-to-be spouse.

Floral Arrangements and Land Scaping

Your yard is one of the focal points of a backyard wedding, so make sure you give the space the attention that it needs. The addition of temporary flower arrangements on your tables and throughout the yard will complement the landscaping and create a seamless look.

Lighting/ String Lighting

As the sun goes down and the night begins to fall adding canopy lights can be the perfect touch for a romantic evening. A canopy of lights will set the evenings mood and add a romantic feel throughout the reception.

Weather Control

Having an outdoor wedding comes with the chance of inclement weather. Unexpected weather can bring its challenges so plan ahead to rent a tent, fans, portable air condition or heating units to be sure your day goes off without a hitch no matter the weather.

Drink Station

Outdoor weddings can sometimes get hot. Make sure your guests are well hydrated and have access to drinks at all times. This cute and colorful drink station is the perfect quick fix for parched guests.
