After a winter spent indoors, the return of chirping birds and blooming flowers signals it's time to move your gatherings into the great outdoors, or at least your backyard, making this the perfect moment to consider your **outdoor event decor**. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when selecting decor for your outdoor wedding or event, along with a few lawn-friendly furnishings from our collection!

Lighting is Everything

Thankfully, choosing an outdoor space for your event means benefitting from built-in natural light. Sunshine is free, y’all! But when the sun goes down, you’ll want to have lanterns ready to fill the void. Our Rustic Lanterns and Rattan Lanterns are perfect for infusing your space with soft, sweet candlelight.

Fill the Space

One of the greatest things about outdoor events is the space...so don’t let it go to waste! One of the best ways to create a unique and varied look is by providing alternate seating areas for guests. A few of our favorite lawn and lounge pieces are showcased below. And don’t forget the pillows!

The Malibu Daybed

Our Malibu Daybed is one of our most popular (and most comfortable) outdoor rentals. The sleek, contemporary design coupled with an all-white frame and cushion make it ideal for a variety of events. Add a pop of color with a mix of colorful pillows!

Edward Cane Back Arm Chair

Our Edward chairs are always a beautiful choice, but they’re especially nice for romantic garden weddings with a European flair.

The sturdy wooden frame and natural palette of this sofa/chair lounge combo pairs especially well with rustic accents. Incorporate the entire set into your event design for patio party perfection!
