One of the first things to think about is overall decor. Where will you have the ceremony and do you have a focal point for where you will be standing? I love using a large tree and hanging ribbons. If your backyard has lots of trees, you can walk out through the trees – very dramatic! If you don’t have a tree, you can create a focal place to stand with globes or balloons. You can use petals for your aisle or line it with plants….

I love the hanging flowers from this wedding photographed by One Love Photo. Gives it such a romantic feel.
You can create your own backdrop with ribbons also if you don’t have any trees that will work as in this wedding.
Maybe you will have a tent – which is great in case of rain – something to consider.

I LOVE a backyard with hanging globes – or any kind of hanging lights.

Love love love the balloon ideas =) soooo fresh and fun!
Beautiful post…makes me reconsider having an indoor reception. I just wish I had an awesome backyard to host in.
Stunning post!
Thank you!
I love this post except for the balloon part. They are so not green!!

Stick to the lovely lanterns and ribbons :)
Kelly – there are no balloons in these pics. The pics that may look like balloons to you are paper globes! Thanks for the concern though.
This was a beautiful post! I liked the paper globes and the petal-lined aisle best. Thanks for compiling all these inspiring images!
these are gorgeous. i wish i could do this at my indoor venue!
This is so beautiful, do you think I can create enough of a dramatic backdrop with solar powered string lights
I love this idea, but am wondering if you know where to rent the dance floors?
i like you wedding and reception!!! Its beautiful
I want the exact same paper lanterns at my wedding- where did they come from??!!
I love the outdoor lighting. Did you hire from a company or where can I buy xx
