19. Altar with a Large Wreath

When it comes to the altar, you have a lot of alternatives if you're planning a small backyard wedding. Some people use a bare alternative altar made of logs or driftwood. But there was one option in particular that drew my attention: a massive wreath altar. If you hired a florist to construct anything like this, it would likely cost at least $100. However, if you look up some guides online, you can discover videos showing how someone constructed a vast wreath.

If you reside in a wooded location, gathering the natural materials to build this wreath for free should be simple. Whatever you have growing in your neighborhood will always look best on your property. The benefit of using such an altar is that it is fully biodegradable. You may quickly disassemble the wreath and spread the pieces for mulch if you have forests or a compost pile on your property.
