Having made the decision to have your backyard wedding reception it is now time to make the tough decisions on decorating. Do you want upscale formal decorations for your reception. Or would you rather go with a more informal theme for your backyard reception?

When you and the groom are planning your wedding reception for outdoors in the backyard, you have many decisions to make. The first being the budget. Once the budget is set and you know how much you have to spend on your decorations and theme for the wedding reception, it is time to decide if you want an informal or formal backyard wedding reception. Allow your personalities to dictate what feels right to the bride and groom when making decisions on theme, decorations and level of formality

For an upscale formal reception you can set up elegant white party tents that are fully or partially enclosed depending on the weather conditions the day of the wedding. Make your settings inside the tent as elegant or informal as you like. To make a beautiful setting, go all white for summer. Use white linens, china and use good silver. Put blossoms in pretty bud vases such as pewter or silver. Fill these with beautiful white flowers. Using these party tents to host your reception allows you the freedom to set up lighting and hanging decorations as you wish. You could also use flowers and ivy with white twinkle lights to wind around the tent poles and cables to add an elegant touch.

If you would like a much less formal affair such as a picnic style reception, including Touches of white and red to give it the picnic ambiance will be a nice theme. If you are having your wedding near a holiday, you could use the holiday as your theme. Holidays such as the Fourth of July lend wonderful color and decoration ideas. Red white and blue make beautiful summer reception colors. You could even serve the wedding cake with sparklers for a WOW effect. At a much less formal backyard wedding reception such as this, you could serve the drinks in big ice filled tubs. Include malts, beers, sodas and water for good variety. If you use a summer theme such as the Fourth Of July, the wedding favors can be a lot of fun to pick out. Summer items such as lip balm with your wedding label, bug spray or sunglasses can also be fun favors and stay within the summer picnic theme.

Whether you choose formal backyard wedding receptions or more formal events, with thought put into your decorations and theme, you are sure to have a beautiful backyard wedding.
