Covid-19 has put the kibosh on so many wedding plans BUT despite the frustration of replanning to then replan again… we discovered that backyard DIY weddings or small intimate ceremonies are the way to go!

Here are a few things you can do to spruce up the space you choose for your intimate wedding ceremony!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Get an arbor! There are many different styles and shapes to match whatever theme your wedding is⁠. You can choose to rent one and decorate it to make it your own, or you can easily find the directions to building one on your own online!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Using your garage as a reception space? Paint the floor and the walls and it will completely transform the space!⁠ Remember to choose something neutral to make sure it goes with everything.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Add greenery to the decor to add life and color. (you can use greens to cover up things that are less than ideal)⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Add lights to the ceiling⁠! It brings a romantic and hazy element to the day and also covers up less-than-ideal ceilings.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Find someone with a cricket to make cute signs⁠! There are MANY DIY’s on Pinterest with cheap picture frames and pretty lettering, or even working on your calligraphy skills to add a special touch!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Use old furniture! A trip to the thrift store or around your grandparent’s house can lead to gift tables, wash centers, cake displays, alters and so much more!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Hang a backdrop⁠! Hanging a backdrop may be just what you need to cover up things that don’t fit your wedding day decor!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
> Wrap columns or pillars⁠! The simple act of wrapping pillars with lights, fabric, or wood can completely change a location!⁠⠀

Remember, small changes make a big difference⁠!⁠⠀
