Dreaming of a beautiful, low-stress wedding close to home? Backyard weddings in Central Florida are a stunning, affordable way to say “I do”—especially with the right rentals in place.

💍 Start with the Tent: Your Wedding’s Foundation

In Florida, a tent isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether you're trying to dodge the sun or avoid a sudden rain shower, a 20x40 tent or a few 10x20 tents can provide the perfect shelter for your ceremony, reception, or both.

Want a more elegant look? Add:

Tent draping for soft, romantic vibes
Bistro lights or chandeliers for ambiance
Tent sidewalls for privacy or weather protection

🪑 Set the Scene with Seating and Tables

Backyard weddings often skip traditional banquet halls, but that doesn’t mean skipping style. Choose:

White Fan Back Chairs for a clean, polished look
5ft Round Tables for dinner seating (more intimate and formal)
6ft Tables for food service, gifts, and cake display
Linens in your wedding colors to pull it all together

Remember: the right setup keeps guests comfortable and your photos looking Pinterest-perfect.

🍰 Don’t Forget the Extras That Make It Flow

It’s easy to overlook the little things, but they make a big impact. Depending on your setup and guest list, you might also need:

Drink stations with coolers or dispensers
Trash cans and liners (yes, this matters!)
Outdoor lighting if the celebration runs past sunset
Fans or heaters, depending on the time of year

Want dancing? You can even create a makeshift dance floor with flat tent flooring or a dedicated area for your first dance.
