Backyard weddings are becoming a thing as we all stay closer to home. And they offer the best in creative challenges: intimate setting and nature-inspired combined with the comfort of home. With a few DIYs and hacks below, your wedding guest pod will be impressed with what you've been able to pull off during a pandemic — plus, you'll have some seriously gorgeous wedding photos.

Windowpane Seating Chart
You don't have to stick to traditional seating charts when it comes to your backyard wedding. Try something different like this setup, where three windowpanes are the main attraction and the names of your guests are written with a white marker. Feel free to use a few flowers on top as an accent too. (via Wedding Chicks / Kelsey Stewart Photography)

Cozy Blankets for Your Guests

Double Duty Decor
A balloon arch that doubles as a backdrop or hanging centerpiece is worth every penny. It adds a breath of fresh air to your yard, and with the right colors, it can accent your color scheme. (via Sugar & Cloth)
Bug Spray Station
Backyard weddings can draw some uninvited guests to your party. Keep everyone itch-free by supplying a bug spray station. For added protection (and lighting), place citronella torches around the perimeter. (via Priscilla Thomas Photography)
S'Mores Station
This couple played up their newlywed status with a perfect play on their Moore surname. Even if your last name doesn't offer up pun potential, this adorable idea that combines marshmallow wedding favors with dessert is one your guests won't be able to resist.

Fresh Potted Herbs
Everyone appreciates fresh herbs, so go ahead and get creative with it and make your own potted ones. You and your guests will get to savor the fresh aroma of a sunny herb garden during your nuptials and for weeks to come. (via Adrian Tuazon / 100 Layer Cake)
