A tent rental for overhead protection
One of the most important backyard wedding rentals you will want to consider for your wedding is a tent.
These versatile temporary structures can provide you the perfect space to get married and celebrate.
For instance, they can give you a definitive place for the ceremony and reception.
If you have a large backyard, then you know how important it is to keep your guests together in a designated location.
Perhaps you have always dreamed of an outdoor wedding because you love the outdoors. But, what happens when the weather decides to bless your wedding with thunderstorms?
You will need a plan B for you and all your guests – potentially causing a lot of frustration and chaos. However, if you choose a tent rental, then you won’t have to worry about the weather at all.
Instead, it will provide you a clean, dry space for your big day.
Right about now you may be thinking that the whole reason you wanted to have a backyard wedding is that you wanted to be able to have the greenery as the backdrop to your vows – and a tent would block that.
Good news!
That is all still very possible.
Clear span tents can come with side walls to protect from the rain and other inclement weather. However, these sides can be open wide when the weather is nice.
Or, you have the option of renting a tent with clear panels – overhead and on the sides. It will appear as though you are completely surrounded by nature, while you are still protected from any negative outdoor conditions.
Lighting as a necessity and a decoration
You will not want to forget lighting at your wedding event – even if it is being held during daylight hours.
First, you never know how long the celebration will last if you are having a blast. Second, lighting can be a fantastic source of decoration for your backyard.
There are so many options to choose from when it comes to backyard wedding rentals and lighting.
For instance, you may consider:
- Candles (preferable the flameless variety for safety) and lanterns
- Bistro-style string lighting
- Decorative, overhead light structures
- An elegant chandelier or candelabra (this will be a dramatic statement in the center of the venue)
- Colored lighting (or even a disco ball) for the dance floor
Lighting can also be used to illuminate the venue in specific colors that match the wedding colors. Washing the walls and ceiling in color can add to the ambiance throughout the space.
Outside the tent, colored lighting can be used on greenery and other backyard hotspots in an uplighting fashion to add a beauty at every angle.
You will not want to dismiss the importance of lighting on your big day.
Leave it to the professionals and rent this equipment.
Seating, tables, linens, and dining ware
As much as your guests will be excited to see you get married, they are not going to want to stand for hours.
In fact, they will want a place to sit – and likely some food, too.
In order to do this, you will need to include tables, chairs, and dining sets to your backyard wedding rentals list. Yet, to purchase these can send your wedding budget into a frenzy.
So, rent them.
You will find that there are many different designs to choose from, allowing you to find something that fits the image of your dream wedding.
That means whether you are hosting a rustic, barefoot, backyard wedding or a black-tie, high-class wedding, you will find exactly what you are looking for.
Tables, chairs, the tablecloths and linen napkins, as well as the silverware, plates, glasses, and everything else can all be rented to help ease the burden on your wedding day.
Fabric décor
Many who host events in tent rentals love the fact that the tents bring them a wide-open space to decorate.
Using fabric, it is possible to transform the look – and the color – of the interior of the tent rental.
Fabric can be draped in various designs overhead in big, swooping fashion. It can also be used to drape along one wall, multiple sides, around barrier poles, or anywhere you see fit.
This means that your backyard wedding will have a colorful elegance – all thanks to the fabric.
Including fabric as part of your backyard wedding rentals can give you the opportunity for the professionals to design it to your liking.
There is a technique used with fabric décor – don’t try to do it on your own.
Finishing touches
Just to be on the safe side – and to make sure your wedding is perfectly how you always imagined – you will not want to leave out these finishing touches. Don’t forget these backyard wedding rentals:
- Flooring for the inside of your tent. You can choose from all different sorts, from wood to carpet.
- Audio visual equipment is necessary if you want to have music or some other sort of entertainment. DJs often come with their own, but if they don’t or you are choosing to do your own music, then don’t leave this out.
- A crew to put it all together can be a lifesaver. No one wants to spend their wedding day putting it all together. Instead, hire a crew to set up – and break down – the furniture and other items within the tent.
Your big day needs to be perfect. If you’ve always dreamed of having a backyard wedding, then do it right by renting these wedding essentials.
