Make a Pillow Fort
Who said that pillow forts are only for kids? If you want to make your yard look more like a magical hideaway, you should definitely consider building a love fort. Find some pillows and blankets, and then put them in one corner of the yard to create a tiny and cozy space. Don’t forget to lay some outdoor rugs down first, so when you enter the fort, you don’t have to sit on damp grass.
You can also decorate this area with fairy lights and flowers, so it looks even more perfect than before. Surprise your partner by sitting inside there with them while playing your favorite music using outdoor speakers – this is bound to be an unforgettable experience that you both will remember for a long time.
Organize a Bonfire
There’s something incredibly romantic about having a bonfire in the backyard. And if you organize it at night, everything will look even more beautiful and magical. You can collect some firewood there if you live by a forest, but getting it from a home improvements store is also a good option.
Just make sure that there aren’t any fire restrictions in your area, and don’t make the bonfire too big. In general, backyard fire pits are legal as long as they follow the laws and regulations set up by the county. However, it will probably be a good idea to keep a bucket of water on hand “just in case.”
Decorate Your Yard With Candles
Candles are one of the most popular ways to decorate your home for special occasions and events. So, why not use them as decoration for your marriage proposal? You can put them on the table or use outside window sills. If you want to have some candles on the ground to set an even more romantic mood, look for ones that are in protective glass jars or clay holders to minimize the risk of an accidental fire.
With the ambient and warm candlelight, your yard will look more romantic than ever. And if you want to make everything more perfect, hang up some fairy lights just like in restaurants and bars during the evening hours. If there are little or no outlets in your backyard, choose battery-operated lights instead.
Use Outdoor Rugs
Probably one of the easiest ways to make your backyard look more romantic and practical for a proposal at the same time is by using outdoor rugs. If you don’t have any outdoor rugs, you can get them from any furniture store – just make sure that you choose thick ones that are water-resistant and won’t get damaged or stained by mud and grass.
Look for rugs from rugs district made out of synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, and polypropylene – they are great for rugs that will be directly exposed to the elements, as they’re moisture- and mildew-resistant. You can also check out online stores that sell outdoor rugs because they usually offer plenty of options at reasonable prices.
Arrange an Enchanting Dinner
One of the best ways to spice up your backyard is by arranging an exquisite dinner for the two of you. You can do this by preparing different courses and putting various decorations on each table. Choose a tablecloth made out of linen or cotton for the best effect. You can also decide on a color scheme and add a colorful runner on top of the tablecloth.
Match the color of your tableware to the runner, pick shiny cutlery, and don’t forget about glasses for wine or other beverages of your choice. If you want to be extra romantic, you can try to sprinkle some rose petals on the table and put flowers in glass vases.
Create a Photo Collage
Another excellent idea is to create a photo collage and hang it in your backyard so that it becomes part of your marriage proposal story. You can simply print out the photos and hang them on a piece of string using a paper clip or mini wooden clips that often come in decorative shapes such as hearts or flowers.
Use Balloons
Balloons are another great option for decorating your backyard for a marriage proposal. Just imagine how romantic it would be to see your partner walking into the backyard and being greeted by a bunch of balloons tied to chairs, trees, or fences, especially if you know that they like this kind of decoration. You can even write a special message on some of the balloons and make everything look even more impressive.
To avoid making the balloons look tacky, don’t hesitate to pay a little bit more money for colors such as gold, rose gold, silver, or pearly. If you want them to stay on the ground untied, blow them up yourself, but if you plan on tying them to the furniture or the tree, then invest in a helium tank – otherwise, the balloons won’t float.
