Thinking about a rustic barn wedding or an outdoor woodland fete? If your venue is following suit and taking place in natural surroundings, you don’t need to add much to make it beautiful. Try to think of ways to enhance Mother Nature rather than compete, like incorporating organic elements such as wood and greenery into your reception. Bistro lights are also always a good idea for outdoor weddings (hello, romantic nighttime photos)—just make sure to plug into a reliable power source.
