An entry is the first look of your wedding and it bloody well be impressive! Whether it’s a driveway or a walkway when the guests arrive for your wedding they have to be awestruck by the enchanting entry. Light up the path with fairy lights, use colourful flowers or hang perfectly white flowy drapes. Experiment with different combinations. 

2. Have A Stage

The garden area can be a bit mushy. Combat that by building a small stage where you can hold the ceremony and later it can also be used as a dance floor. It will help you achieve some firm ground for comfortable movement.

3. Pool

Revamp your pool. Lay wooden slats to have a walkover. Or just dot it with floral decorations all across. Or simply have multiple lights floating over. Flowers and light afloat in a serene pool, there is something mesmerizing about it.

4. Tent

6. Seating

A wedding does not always have to be a formal affair. You can make it colourful and vibrant. It’s a different level of creativity.
