Since the start of Covid-19, couples have had to adapt and change their wedding plans. From being forced to postpone or cancel to switching to an intimate backyard-style wedding, couples are getting creative while still finding ways to celebrate love. Here are some of our favorite ideas to make your backyard wedding extraordinary.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!
Intricate and diverse floral arrangements can make any space look beautiful. A great way to transform your outdoor wedding space is by adding as many flowers as your heart desires. Especially for the couples who allocated a larger budget for finding a venue, if you find yourself turning to a backyard style, you can use any extra funds for flowers.

Use Furniture

By implementing small pieces of furniture in your backyard space, you can create sections that mimic a venue. Whether that’s making an intimate sweetheart table, a photo booth or anything else furniture can make your space look larger than life.

Get Creative With Photos 
Having your own space gives you the opportunity to get as creative with photos as you want. If you love your hometown, who says you can’t take socially distant photos in your town!? Use your pets, family and favorite outdoor spaces to take all the photos your heart desires.
