The pandemic has changed the way we are able to celebrate and gather, causing thousands of engaged couples to rethink their summer wedding plans. For many couples, this likely means celebrating with a small group at home until restrictions lift. While an at-home venue may not be what they originally envisioned, couples won’t have to sacrifice style as they celebrate their big day.
Lowe’s partnered with interior designer and Queer Eye star Bobby Berk to curate three wedding collections – Farmhouse, Bohemian and Coastal Chic – which feature more than 150 products from Lowes.com, allowing couples to DIY the day of their dreams at home.
“Lowe’s and I are joining forces to help engaged couples get their spaces ready for one of the most special moments at home this June – their wedding,” said Berk. “We’re working together to give couples the stylish products they need to create a space worthy of one of life’s most pivotal moments and show that any home can be transformed into an unforgettable venue.”
Trying to decide which collection matches your style? Dive into more details below:
Farmhouse: This collection balances both the rustic and the romantic with a modern twist. Within this collection, you’ll find warm and washed woods, romantic roses and décor that embraces tradition, such as decorative metals and lace.
Coastal Chic: Pairing shades of blue with touches of pink, this collection is reminiscent of an ocean sunset. Nothing can beat saying “I do” with the sounds of the waves rolling in right behind you, but these products may be a close second.
Bohemian: This collection was made for couples whose style is infused with uniqueness and creativity. Within this aesthetic, you’ll find a beautifully eclectic mix of succulents, bright florals, distressed materials, macramé and bold colors.
In addition to these collections, Berk shared three helpful tips for couples looking to plan a backyard wedding:
1) Set a Solid Foundation: Invest in design elements and products that can be used past your wedding date, such as outdoor furniture, lighting and landscaping. These features are key to transforming your backyard into a space that works for every season of life, with a touch of your special day mixed in.
2) Get Creative with Practical Solutions: During initial planning, be sure to consider how your setup will function best throughout the day. For instance, does the sun hit in a certain direction each afternoon? Planning for factors such as these will allow you to make the experience more comfortable for you and your guests. Consider creative ways to shade your space – there are several options, from fabric to greenery, that can keep everyone cool, while elevating your backyard venue and aestheic.
3) Remember the Reason You’re Celebrating: Above all, Berk encourages couples to remember the “why” behind your big day – whether in your backyard or dream destination, finding the person you love can make anywhere feel like home. Don’t forget to embrace the significance of your day, even amid all the planning details!
