Outdoor Wedding Decorating Tips

An outdoor wedding is beautiful because the scenery in itself adds to the decor.  However, you need to keep the comfort of your guests in mind when you are planning the reception and a perfect solution is a tent.  Not only will it help shade your guests, but it adds sophistication to the outdoor space, where it might otherwise look very casual.

To add more ambiance to the tented space you could do the following:

1- Swag white twinkle lights from the center of the tent out to the edges.

2- Hang chandeliers and use battery operated votives or candles in place of real candles.  Adhere them with wax dots used to hold a taper in place in a candle holder.

3- Pull back the sides of the tent so foliage and outdoor charm can be seen.

Rain or shine the a tent provides shelter while still giving the ambiance of nature.  Many tent rental companies also have designers who will swag the tent with fabric and use lighting to bring in color and drama.

Viewing Linda Howard’s Sensational Celebrations will give you inspiration.  What a wonderful designer, and you can see she gives a lot of attention to detail.

For your guests, a beautiful candle in line with your theme would make a perfect favor, and a lovely picture frame would be nice for your place cards.
