If you’ve decided to hold your wedding outside, you’re probably thinking about how you are going to decorate. Outside wedding decoration is as easy as using what’s already there and bringing in details to complement the most beautiful decoration of all: nature.

Spring wedding

No wonder you want to have your wedding in the Spring! It is the time for growth and rebirth and even better, your garden will be brimming with gorgeous colors. A good idea for a decorative favor to mirror a flower theme is to give guests individually wrapped homemade flower cookies.

You can prepare them ahead of time and when wrapped in clear cellophane, they make for excellent table decorations as well. You can also purchase small silk flowers at the craft store and use them as place card holders. You can also use faux birds in trees, on tables, or on arbors.


Summer wedding

During the summer, the weather is lovely and the daylight seems endless. People are relaxed and an eager to attend an outdoor wedding. Outdoor decorations for a summer wedding can incorporate a holiday such as the Fourth of July. You can decorate trees and tables with red, white and blue ribbons.

Tables can be decorated with sparkly confetti and curly ribbons. There are a variety of wedding decorations that evoke that summertime feeling such a flip flop candles or sand-filled centerpieces. At the end of the evening, give your guests sparklers and watch the fun happen!



Fall wedding

The orange, yellow and red leaves are a beautiful backdrop for a fall wedding. Mimic the colors in the leaves with colored and scented candles on the tables. Try incorporating the colorful vegetables and nuts of the season such as squash, pumpkin, and corn, into your decorations. They can be placed in baskets around the grounds in clusters to define entranceways and aisles.

Another option for the baskets is to plant groupings of flowers in them so you can set them around the grounds in areas that seem a little bit bare. You may also want to have a few bales of hay brought in to continue the theme and to create a ready-made place for great pictures.


Winter wedding

Outside wedding decoration for winter weddings should focus around lights. Use tea lights on the tables in abundance to create a warm, romantic feeling. Another idea for outside wedding decoration is small holiday lights. They can be used to decorate tree trunks or arches.

Your guests will be chilly outside in the winter, so make sure they are comfortable by providing heaters near every table. You may also want to consider building a bonfire and having your guests tell stories around the fire. Use green foliage and red berries to decorate tables and archways. Use ribbons and bows from previous holidays to ‘wrap’ tables like presents.


In every season, there is an abundance of outside wedding decorations that you can tailor to your wedding. Have fun with nature and let your imagination flow with the seasons.
