I love planning a backyard wedding! You start with a beautiful open space and so many possibilities. There are no walls or columns or other restrictions to work around and there is something so romantic about dancing under the stars! It was such a pleasure to work with Alyssa & Nathan on their wedding! The day was magical with some threatening skies and light showers that cleared up just in time for the ceremony leaving behind a dramatic blend of clouds and rays of sunshine.
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when planning a backyard wedding. First you want to think about the best way to utilize the space and the ideal orientation for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Rentals, lighting, power requirements, restroom, back of house set up for catering, placement of speakers and/or stage, dance floor, bar set up, etc. Creating a tent of sparkling lights adds a level of romance and intimacy. Speaking of tents, you will want to have one on stand by as a plan B just in case.
It was a pleasure to work with Paperbird Weddings! They captured the wedding beautifully!
