Outdoor Decor

Jennifer Rice, Designer
Dress My Chair, Inc.

Are you looking for inspiring ways to save money without compromising on style? Weddings and events hosted at a friend or relative’s home is a great way to save money and add more intimacy to your special day. However, having a backyard wedding or party used to imply folding chairs and rectangle tables with polyester linens in random primary colors. That is no longer the case.

Jennifer Rice, designer with Dress My Chair party rentals and fine linens says, “Just because you decide to host your event in a backyard doesn’t mean it has to look like a backyard barbecue. Just as we turn ballrooms into exquisite environments, we can tranform your outdoor area into an unforgetable affair too.” The open sky and stars of an outdoor setting provides decorating opportunties that a ballroom can’t achieve. In other words, the sky is the limit!

Try to incorporate all of the space by using existing ammenities, such as lawns, patios, gazebos, etc. Then create lounge and bar areas with unique props such as sofas, tables, urns, and special lighting. A special area can be designated for dining complete with beautiful chair covers, unique table linens and hanging chandeliers. The dancefloor can be decorated with swags and state-of-the-art lighting to provide the feel of an upscale club where dancing is the highlight. Finally, partial tenting and canopies create inviting covered areas for guests to relax and socialize.

One bride claimed “I didn’t even recognize my own backyard and I couldn’t believe how affordable it was. My guests had a great time and I was able to splurge on my dress and other details that we otherwise couldn’t have afforded”.
