When you think of an outdoor wedding, your mind tends to jump to the thought of a quick and easy backyard barbecue, but that is no longer the case. Outdoor garden, farm or forest weddings are graceful, stylish, glamorous, luxurious and most of all impressive. Yes, we are outside and maybe even under a tent, but we might as well be inside a grand ballroom from the looks of it! The newest outdoor accommodations, design elements and event features that outdoor weddings offer are endless. Check out a few of our favorite ideas for luxury outdoor weddings and how to dress up any backyard for your dream wedding.

Firstly, it’s always a great idea to have a tent because we never know how the weather will treat us on our special day, and as we know there are no rain dates for weddings! Tents have been known in the past as an eyesore, but today they can be beautifully decorated to fit any atmosphere. There are so many different tent options from clear tents to see the starry sky, colorful creative tents or the classic polished white outdoor tent. There is such a variety of options that you can choose to create the perfect ambiance that you always hoped for.

Now that our tent is up, it’s time to decorate! Since this is a blank canvas, there are so many design elements that need to be completed and it’s time to have fun with it! Choosing a dance floor, seating arrangements and lounge areas are some of the biggest elements for any wedding, especially outdoors. This is one of the reasons we especially love outdoor weddings. Create the world of your own and paint the picture of your dreams!

Another aspect that we LOVE about outdoor weddings are incorporating natural elements. Using nature as a design tool is something that you could never create with store bought items, and will always be one of a kind! Using an old huge Oak tree in your backyard for your ceremony backdrop, or seating the guest lounge in the ground of a garden are just a few simple ideas. Use natural elements to your advantage and help bring your theme alive! Dress up your outdoor space for a grand reception space, or keep it casual for a simple yet elegant outdoor environment.
