Hence, if planned safely and meticulously, an outdoor wedding transforms the life of your wedding as a festive season.
Outdoor weddings are also budget-friendly for people who are not prepared to spend much on their wedding rather than keep it simple yet elegant. So if you are planning on a budget-friendly outdoor wedding with an enthralling backdrop or ideas, you have landed at the right place.
Here, we have profoundly gathered some insights on creative and affordable themes for you to get inspired.
Light Up the Garden
Lighting is relatively important to elevate the ambience of a wedding. Decorate and illuminate the scene with string lights all over the garden to enhance and set the vibe, or consider fancy bulbs with different light shades to match the mood. You can also wrap fancy bistro lights around beams, trees, or tents to showcase the architectural grandeur. Lighting goes hand-in-hand if you are giving evening or night wedding celebrations a thought.
Moreover, lighting does not require people to break the bank easily fit into your budget structure.
Create an Alluring Entrance
Entrance is the first thing that your guests will notice. Hence, it is crucial to get their attention. Decorating the garden entrance with balloons, greenery and flowers associated with fun and catchy welcoming signs present your wedding tone with a fresh and stunning look. You can choose colours of the flowers that are appropriate to the theme but try to opt for subtle hues to heighten the garden’s charm that appeals to your guests.
If you choose to have a tent for your reception entrance, drapes can be easily fastened and pulled back to create a welcoming entryway for guests. Furthermore, for a tented outdoor wedding reception, you can try to make a grand entrance with colourful curtains pulled back elegantly with foliage and accentuated with lights and candles. Considering the items required, it is cost-efficient and affordable, making it suitable for your pocket.
Also, it is important to find an outdoor wedding venue that provisions space for such grand entrances.
Assemble a Compact Dance Floor
Who wouldn’t love to dance? In fact, a dance floor on a wedding night is considered a part of tradition for most people and essential for guests to bring out their flair for dancing in front of hundreds. Also, this is where couples get to enjoy their wedding song.
When you pick an outdoor dance floor style, you have a favourable outcome of succeeding in terms of budget. You can create a temporary dance floor made out of plywood to make it look neat.
Hire a Gelato Cart
Hiring a gelato cart is possibly the best dessert idea you can think of. Gelato carts always add a delicious touch for guests at events, and since it is mobile, you can quickly shift places based on the crowd.
With a gelateria at your wedding, you can smite your guests with traditional Italian frozen desserts and make them buzz about the taste of the gelato and ice-creams. In addition, a gelato bar brings in a romantic element to the mix and wouldn’t take up everything from your wedding budget.
Make Space for Park Games
Outdoor weddings are an excellent opportunity to keep your guests entertained with some fun and interactive games. They are a great addition if there are children present at your wedding and it is vital to keep them occupied when they end up getting bored if they aren’t given much freedom to be themselves.
Popular outdoor games, such as corn hole, badminton and croquet, are all great and affordable options, and they are also easy to purchase. However, given the pandemic, it is best to skip games that would require people to be nearby. Instead, try to involve in other carnival-style of games.
Sparkle Your Special Night
From sparklers to show-stopping rockets, fireworks at your wedding can be as huge as it gets. Fireworks symbolize celebration – it exhibits your purpose by painting the sky with bursts of colourful lights. And on a wedding night when you and your partner are pampered by people, fireworks are only icing on the cake. They introduce glamour and magic with sparks flying on your special day. However, it is essential to note that fireworks are to be set off in large areas safely from trees or other buildings, which is why an outdoor wedding is an ideal choice.
Set Up a Photo and Video Booth
Photobooths are always a popular attraction at any wedding. They are also an excellent idea to make your budget wedding far more memorable, helping people cherish moments post the day of the wedding even after ages when looking at those pictures.
Also, as an upgrade to the former, a video booth is an improved approach to capturing memories. However, the video booth is distinctive from its predecessor.

However, it is always essential to make smart decisions based on your budget and justify your special day by choosing the perfect outdoor venue.
