An outdoor wedding arguably has the most impressive decor a couple could ask for: natural beauty. Whether it’s a backdrop of woods, water or grass, outdoing a canopy of trees or the soundtrack of a bubbling brook is pretty, even for the best crafter. That said, handmade accents can give the wedding ceremony and reception a homey touch. Here are five DIY projects for an outdoor wedding.
Wedding Program Fan
The wedding program communicates details about your special day and can be particularlly helpful if you’re holding a ceremony with a few unexpected elements. Outdoor ceremonies, particularly ones with formally dressed guests, can get a little steamy.
Arches and arbors
Opting for the outdoors option allows you a bit more openness in your wedding theme, whether you’re in your backyard or at an award-winning wedding venue. First, choose a focal point and use the scenery to create the frame around your vows. Mark the spot with a ceremonial arch that complements your color or stylistic theme.
Natural Bug Spray
Outdoor weddings are lovely, but the ceremony can be disturbed by unwanted flying and stinging guests. You can set citronella candles everywhere or pay for a mosquito fogger, but both of those scents can overpower more delicate fragrances like floral arrangements.
Punched Metal Votive Lanterns
Confetti Cones
While rice was once showered on couples as a wish for prosperity and good fortune, the celebration has changed now that we know that the ingredient might harm unsuspecting birds. For a festive send-off, provide individual paper cones of biodegradable confetti or birdseed for your guests to toss. The colorful bits will make for wonderful photos and won’t harm the natural beauty that surrounds your momentous day.
Enjoy the outdoor wedding of your dreams in the warm sun. For more DIY wedding ideas, check out the following video from HGTV.
