13. Make Your Food Double as Decorations
Sometimes, cake and dessert look so beautiful, they look like decorations by themselves. When you have such a small backyard wedding, there’s only so much room for you to set up the food tables, have places to sit, and use decorations as well. So it only makes sense to have your food look as enticing as possible. Many people decorate their food table with multiple levels to give a lot of varied interest. Signature cocktails are typically kept to the bar area, but you could also incorporate some drinking accessories, if at all possible.

When you have a really attractive table filled with food, it’s likely that people are going to take a photo and put it on their Instagram. Professional photographers will also take photos and it will become part of the memory of that day. Before the wedding day, do a practice run of your setup to make sure it looks as good as you imagined in your mind. Give yourself plenty of time to order new projects and make adjustments as needed.
