Lockdown Garden wedding

Hi, the wedding was originally Oct 2020, and had rebooked it for Oct 2021 but covid just brought the whole mood down and o really can't be asked to deal with planning a wedding for 120+ guests, 75% of we either don't know or don't have relationships with.



So we decided to have a lockdown wedding May bank holiday and do it at home as a wedding reception / house warming since it'll be the first time anyone would have seen / visited the house.
Basically I just wanted to ask if anyone has planned a wedding reception in their garden and how do you balance the casual feeling of being at home but still having the place nice so you get good photo's and videos. (We'll set up a marquee but if it's good weather it'll just be open, no marquee)
Thanx.

    Not done this but just be careful as reception in garden might not be allowed. Or as previous only with the numbers that were allowed in outdoor meeting/socialising anyway(so maybe 6 people or so). So you might not be allowed the wedding guest numbers you could have in a licenced venue depending on where you live.....

    We are having a private ceremony and then an 'I do' BBQ in our back garden to celebrate. Its at the end of August so hopefully the weather will be nice and any restrictions lifted. We are going for a relaxed rustic/shabby chic theme with hog roast and lots of straw bales. There are loads of ideas on pinterest to get inspired by and I am looking on ebay for items to decorate the house and garden with.

    Thank you for the suggestions, yeah I've started looking at Pinterest but most of it looks like huge American style gardens. I had bought a few things for the original planned wedding so trying to avoid buying too many things. Thanx
