4. Vintage Lounge Vignettes

Backyard weddings often have a lot of standing time. Give your guests a comfortable (and photogenic) place to rest by creating “outdoor living rooms.”

  • The Furniture: Rent vintage velvet sofas, Persian rugs, and antique coffee tables.
  • The Placement: Place these under a large shade tree or near the bar area.
  • The Result: It encourages conversation and gives the backyard a layered, “residential-luxe” feel.
