Hang Chandeliers From Trees

A chandelier will add light and elegance to an outdoor wedding reception. And you can hang the chandelier from a large tree branch with a strong rope to take advantage of the natural outdoor setting. If your wedding venue doesn’t have an abundance of trees, you can also hang chandeliers from a homemade arbor and decorate it with floaty blooms and lots of greenery.

Birdseed Confetti

Birdseed is a great outdoor alternative to other wedding confetti, mostly because it’s biodegradable and it attracts birds! But don’t worry the birds won’t get in your way during the wedding because they are nervous around people. However, when the wedding is over, you’ll have a yard full of feathered friends. Plus, whatever doesn’t get eaten by the birds will naturally break down on its own, leaving you with no confetti clean-up!

And whether you’re looking to attract just a few robins or an entire flock of chickadees to your yard, here are 16 seriously cool birdhouses that certainly stand out.
