Always dreamed of having an outdoor wedding but now that your big day is getting closer and closer you’re becoming scared of the great outdoors? Whether it’s the fear of a rained out celebration or you just don’t want your guests to be overheated, there are still ways to make an indoor wedding feel like it’s rooted outdoors.
Here are 10 simple and easy-to-do ways to make your indoor wedding feel like it’s outdoors.
1. Hang Stars
Want a fun outdoorsy feel? Hang paper stars from the ceiling, especially above the dance floor. It’ll make your guests feel as if they are slow dancing under a starry night.
2. String Christmas Lights
Lighting is key for establishing an outdoorsy vibe. Use Christmas lights and string them around the walls of the venue and over the dance floor.
3. Use Wooden Chairs
Incorporate old rustic wood whenever you can. Whether that’s finding table bases that are made out of trees or using older wooden chairs for your ceremony and reception.
4. Skip the Roses
Instead of having centerpieces that are filled with brightly colored roses, go for a branchy theme and use different colored branches with tiny flowers on the ends of them.
5. Go With a Floral Chandelier
Want to spice up the venue with a pop of color? Instead of having flowers as centerpieces, use them as chandeliers that you hang above each table or behind you during the ceremony.
6. Have Tree Accents
Line the aisle with candles and tree accents. You’ll have a vibe that’ll make you and your guests feel like you’re getting marred in a forest.
7. Switch up the Bouquets
Instead of having plump and carefully designed bouquets, use freshly picked flowers for your bouquet. Don’t bunch together a ton of them, but just a few will make it feel more of a natural look.
8. Pick a Place With Giant Windows
Love the outdoors but don’t want to have your wedding outside? That’s okay. Pick an indoor venue with large windows so that your guests have a great view while spending the night under air conditioning.
9. Make a Moss Wall
Take one wall of the venue and cover it with moss and flowers. It’ll be a great picture backdrop for guest to snap photos in front of.
10. Have a Natural Color Scheme
Pick neutral colors and use lots of green accents whenever you can for an outdoorsy and woodsy look to your indoor wedding.
