Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies

Ceremony Arches

Pick the perfect outdoor wedding backdrop: an arch! Whether you choose a traditional rounded one, a bohemian triangle arch, contemporary circle, or an elegant garden-style archway, it really is the perfect way to frame your nuptials when getting married outside.

Ceremony Decor

Outdoor ceremony decor needs to be sturdy enough it doesn’t blow away in the breeze and striking enough that it adds to the space, not gets lost in the background. We love rustic lanterns, romantic florals, and cute signage that makes your ceremony space pop!

Aisle Decor

Make your ceremony aisle pop with decor that fills out the space and makes it feel even more customized. We love rustic pampas and subdued autumn florals for a boho vibe, or lush greenery and romantic rose petals lining the aisle.

Outdoor Wedding Receptions

Centerpieces & Table Decor

An outdoor reception is a blank canvas for your dream wedding reception space. Rich flowing fabrics on the tables with beautiful lanterns and hurricane candles create an absolutely sophisticated atmosphere, while dripping string lights and gold table accents make for a romantic yet simplistic space.

Reception Decor

Design a gorgeous reception area with bistro lights hanging above or going all out with a tent set up to protect your guests (and create a stunning defined space) no matter the weather!

Cocktail Hour Decor

Upgrade your cocktail hour space with barrel bar tables, an ultra-unique bar set up like the rustic-chic camper below, or if it’s a small wedding, a super cute help-yourself beverage cart.
