Florals
The next decor subject you want to consider for creating an earthy backyard wedding is your florals. Florals are way more than just bouquets for the bride and bridesmaid to hold during photos and the ceremony. Florals can help play a major role in your wedding day decor. You can use flowers and greenery arrangements for reception tables, create overhanging decor, frame signs and photos and use accent pieces.
When selecting florals for your earthy wedding, be sure to select more natural colored flowers. Consider neutral colors and earth tones such as greens, creams, pinks, browns, and oranges. And avoid using harder colors such as purples and reds. You can also consider dried flowers or accent pieces such as dried pampas grass to enhance your earthy wedding vibe.
Accent pieces
You may consider choosing a few accent decor pieces when planning your earthy backyard wedding. Accent pieces can be thought of as secondary decor. They may not be the main focus of your decor, but they help support and pull together your overall look. There are so many accent decor pieces you can select for an earthy backyard wedding. And they don’t need to be complicated or expensive!
Since your earthy backyard wedding will be more of a natural scene, consider accent pieces such as jars of sand, dried flowers, weathered photo frames, ribbons, feathers, polished rocks, crystals, and more.

Seating areas
Since earthy and backyard weddings are usually thought of as more intimate affairs, seating all play a major role in planning and decorating your wedding. You want to consider seating arrangements that are stylish and comfortable. Consider love seats surrounded by additional comfy chairs with a warm fireplace in the middle. Your seating arrangements should be thought of as smaller arrangements to have throughout your backyard that can comfortably fit 7-10 people. These are often where a lot of conversation and catching up happens.
You can also create these seating arrangements in a stylish, earthy manner. Choose earth tones for your seats and mix up the style. Burnt oranges, crushed velvet, and deep cream cotton all work amazing for colors and textures for seating arrangements. You may even consider having guests sit on the lawn on comfy oversized pillows like these. Explore more of these ideas here on Pinterest.

These colors will help pull off your earthy wedding feel and will also appear romantic. To help with color inspiration, think of a sunset or a beautiful desert.
Fabric is also a key ingredient for your backyard’s earthy wedding decor. You may not think of fabric immediately when thinking of wedding decor.
