How to Decorate for an Outside Wedding Ceremony
Outdoor weddings provide the natural elements surrounding the space to serve as decorations. Whether you are getting married beside a stream or the ocean, underneath a tree or surrounded by flowers, many of your decorations will be already taken care of. However, adding extra touches will make your wedding ceremony appear more elegant and personal. Avoid choosing decorations that contrast with the natural setting, as that is likely the reason you chose to marry outdoors in the first place.

Rent an arch from a party rental company. Cover the arch with the flowers you are using for your wedding, along with greenery like leaves or moss. Completely cover the arch so that the material it is made of will not show. Place the arch at the area in which you will marry.

Set up simple white chairs into rows where your guests will be seated. Use white chairs to give the space a crisp and elegant look. Tie tulle bows onto the outer chairs that line the center aisle.

Spread flower petals onto the aisle. Scatter petals throughout the center of the center aisle. For a different look, spread the petals on either side of the aisle, bordering the chairs. Have guests seated from the outside of the aisle, rather than down the center, so that they don't trample the petals before the bridal party enters.
