Have you been dreaming of a backyard wedding that celebrates gorgeous weather and an awe-inspiring nature backdrop? After you price out possible ceremony venues and decide to reserve your budget for other festivities, showcasing your home’s beautiful backyard often becomes an appealing option.

You can create picturesque moments by focusing on a rose garden backdrop and exchanging vows under the awning of a pergola, an elegant archway featuring columns and an open roof framework. Transform this structure into a whimsical centerpiece with these easy to execute ideas:

Blossoming into Marital Bliss – Shower your pergola with beauty be adding flowers around the columns and on the roofing. Think blooming roses, soft-hued lilies, large mums or vibrant Gerber daisies. You can mix your wedding colors and contrast the flowers with the rest of the landscape, whether there is a lake, trees or garden around this.

Fabricate a Vision of Romance – A simple way to add elegance and romance to the view is by weaving fabric through the roof framework. As you plan the overall look for your wedding, you can choose the best kind of fabric. Some brides drape the lattice with tulle, simple cotton, netting, lace or a light burlap for a more rustic look. Play with colors and materials to find the unique and flowing look that will captivate attendees.

Illuminate Your “I Do” – Complete this outdoor look by adding a bit of light. Make the exchange of rings a glowing moment, lit up by candles, twinkle lights, decorative lanterns or chandeliers.

It’s time for your love to take center stage.
