Pulling off an outdoor event doesn't have to be a daunting task if you put on your DIY thinking cap! Each of the finds below would make a welcome addition to any outdoor celebration (a wedding, perhaps?) and will leave your guests amazed at how you pulled the whole thing together. Whether you consider your taste traditional or eclectic, Etsy's got you covered for planning an unforgettable event with a DIY twist.
An outdoor wedding lends the opportunity to show a little extra skin, accessorize with organic details, and bask in translucent lace as the sun's natural rays help keep you in the spotlight. For more inspiration in creatively pulling off your perfect wedding look, browse our Wedding Attire Guide.
When it comes to accessorizing, an outdoor affair provides the perfect opportunity to experiment with statement jewelry. I suggest going for bolder designs with organic floral details and sparkling elements that will glisten in the sun, offering the perfect complement to the hues of your skin throughout the day and into the night.
Candlelight adds a particular touch of magic to any atmosphere and it's the best type of lighting to help your guests look their best. Set a romantic mood with handmade tea lights, candles, paper lanterns, and vintage glass jars (a personal favorite).
Incorporate flowering details from the rehearsal dinner to the bouquet, from the boutonnieres to the table scape. As an environmentally friendly approach, buy handmade keepsakes that will last long after the wedding and supply you with memories (and decorating supplies) for years to come.
Vintage glass, customizable decor, handmade table accents and paper detailing make it easier than ever to execute an affair that is both personal and memorable. Your family and friends are sure to be inspired by your creativity. Find more decor ideas for your wedding or garden party in our Wedding Decor Guide and Summer Soiree Guide.
The ingenuity of a handmade wedding can often best be enhanced by the little things. Wow your guests with unique and meaningful party favors by using environmentally friendly materials like plantable paper, bird seed, or recycled organic grass.
