It’s outdoor wedding season again! No matter if you are planning a gazebo inspired wedding outdoors; having a wedding in a park under a gazebo or hosting a wedding in your very own back yard, there are decorating ideas to add a splash of personal style or build on your wedding theme in a creative way.
Here are some ideas…
Ideas #1: Light the pathway or stairs with luminaries or lanterns so the walk to the gazebo wedding is bright and easy to follow. If there are trees nearby you can also hang lanterns from the branches. This will create a larger and brighter space.
Idea #2: To enhance the beauty and simple elegance of your event, entwine plenty of twinkling white lights around the gazebo, using eave grip clips to fasten the lights down. You can hang the lights around the gazebo banisters, columns, rafters and roof. Then, wrap garland or flowers around the light strings. Be sure to watch for any fire hazards and read the safety precautions pamphlet.
Idea #3: Have your florist create a floral swag to pin up on the entryway of the gazebo. Then place 2 large potted plants on either side of the swag to frame the door way. This will create an archway and frame for a grand entrance. You can also use grip clips to secure the swag onto the gazebo.
Ideas #4: Layers of tulle can help create a romantic setting and feeling of romance around the gazebo. Using grip clips or other standard fasteners, you can layer the tulle around the gazebo banisters, poles, railings, across the gazebo roof line and on the backs of seating chairs. The more tulle you use, the more of a grand feeling you will create. Use a little bit less if you are looking to create an understated, more conservative wedding.
Idea #5: Rose petals are always romantic and add a little bit of sweet, smelling colour to any situation. You can scatter petals on the floor of the gazebo or on the pathway to get there. Add flowers to the tables or just petals around your centre pieces for a sensual effect.

No matter what time of year it is, a gazebo is a classic and wonderful attraction to any garden. Whether you use your gazebo an entertaining area, a private reading room, a yoga sanctuary or just a place to get away, a few simple ideas can turn your gazebo into a dreamy, backyard get away.
idea #1: Add some hanging plants to the archways of your gazebo. This simple element will add colour and life to your gazebo, as well as enhance extra privacy. For even more privacy, consider planting annual vines. These vines actually grow pretty quickly and can be encouraged to grow into empty spaces or up around your gazebo frame.
Idea #2: Adding a humming bird feeder, a bird bath or a bird house to your gazebo can not only beautify your space but turn your gazebo into a great bird watching area.
Idea #3: Water fountains create a calming and relaxing atmosphere for almost any backyard space. No matter where you put them, it is always nice to hear the water flowing from one end to the other. The great thing about fountains is that they can be custom built by a landscape and stone company or you can buy one prebuilt. They come in many shapes and sizes. A nice place to put a fountain is near a walkway or in a place you can see it from your gazebo.
Idea #4: Create a romantic and well lit area with solar powered garden lamps, hanging candles or creatively strung Christmas lights. Outdoor lighting is limitless and makes a world of difference, especially on a warm summer evening.
Idea #5: A set of wind chimes are always nice touch to any backyard. You can hang them in the archway of your gazebo or in the entry way. Either way the wind in the chimes leaves a nice ring that sooths the mind.

Any gazebo space can be made to come alive at night with some fancy gazebo illumination! Not only that but you’ll be able to see your burgers burning on the grill 10 feet away and, see your companies faces only a chair away. Wouldn’t that be nice!
Gazebo lighting can be anything, from a string of lightbulbs draped around the gazebo, to a lantern to some candles. Of couse we all know the dangers of a lit flame burning inside a gazebo but, with proper precautions it can be done safely and effectively.
Of course the best choice in lighting is what suits your budget, your needs and enhances the space around you. There are many different styles of lighting today- different shapes, sizes, etc.
In general, most gazebo owners choose to opt into a general lighting, low-voltage lighting system. Low-voltage lights are safe, inexpensive, easy to install, and cosume less energy- which means energy and money savings for you.
Another great place to install lights in anywhere there are paths or walkways, danger zones like a pond or high traffic areas of your yard such as, the BBQ and table area.
If your not sure what kind of lights would best suit your gazebo or yard just ask the installer for their oppinion. They have seen it all before and would probably be happy to give you some ideas.

Another gazebo I see regularly, is the 24 sided Octagon Gazebo I drive past to and from work everyday! This gazebo is huge. It is the size of a bedroom in a house.
The people that own this gazebo, own about 6 acres of land. Their gazebo is in the front of their house, where the land extends out about 2 acres. So about 150 feet from their door, they have their gazebo setting. About 100 feet in front of that is a large group of outdoor chairs with a fire set up in the middle. Then about 100 feet in front of that is a huge pond, that almost tripples the size of the gazebo.
The pond is beautiful, it has nice clear water, rocks shaped all around the edges and a few remote control boats setting-sea in the water. This is the ultimate yard. And not to mention, they have a custom built swing set for the kids.
One night I drove past and saw the fire buning nicely, with people sitting all around it. I saw a few boys racing the boats in the pond underneith the light of a lamp they had set up. And there was about 10 people sitting inside the gazebo, having a few drinks, and playing cards in the brightly lit room.
I thought, what a great evening atmosphere for a get together! Many times if a party is outside because there are only so many things to do, like talk with people, etc. once they get done with chit- chating you find they are leaving.
With this situation, it gave the people options. If it is breezy out, and it was that night, they had the option of going ito the gazebo. And better yet they set up a card table and didnt have to worry about the cards blowing away, or having to go inside because it’s getting too dark.
Additionally, the pond and the fire allowed the guests to choose a array of events to entertain themselves and not be bound to one place or situation for the night.
On a nice summer night, it is great to be outside, getting fresh air with your guests while still having the option of going into the gazebo and not having to do everything inside the house.

I went to Tim Hortons today, to grab a coffee. And on my out, the next street over, is a old age community home. It is a large bright white home, with lots of greenery, plants and flowers. The sun seems to just shine on this community living centre; when you pass it, you can’t help but notice it. And on the right hand side of the fresh, healthy, green grass is a large, wooden, beautiful gazebo.
Once or twice before, I have driven by the centre, but no one was in the gazebo. But today, there was a small goup of elderly people, I’d say about 5-6 people in the gazebo, drinking tea and chatting. They seemed to be dressed quite nice too. The ladies were wearing light floral blouses with collars, cotton coloured shorts, and had nicely done hair. I think one of the ladies was wearing a string of pearls around her neck as well.
The men had on their nice golf shirts or light dress shirts, with shorts or slacks and of course their hair was combed nicely to the side. Additionally, I saw a few watches on the wrists of the men.
They seemed to be having such an enjoyable time in this gazebo, I really wanted to be in there with them. As they drank their tea and ate some sort of ordurves, I saw them laughing, talking and touching each other is a joking kind of way. It seemed that one of the men said some sort of sarcastic remark to one of the women, so she got up and slapped him on the arm, completely grinning from ear to ear.
I couldnt help but wonder, that maybe this setting and atmosphere of the wooden gazebo was enlightening their time together. I mean, they had a nice place to sit in the warm weather, while still being lightly shaded by parts of the covering gazebo. It seemed so easy for them out there. It seemed like such a good time. Although they were “old” they appared to be a young and free as children.
Although the old age home looks fresh and bright, as I said in the beginning, I think I assumed that the people inside would not be as fresh and bright. I pictured them to have no smiles, and be a little unkept, or at least not as well kept as they appeared. It looked like they had planned a nice day in the sun, in the gazebo, to drink tea, and have a good time with old friends. It looked like a situation that had been planned for weeks, even months.
I was happy to have witnessed this good time! And to think, the road sign read 40 kilometers an hour, so driving 40 kilometers an hour I saw all of this within about 6 seconds. Can you imagine what I would have saw if I was walking by, or if I stopped by to say hello.

A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building, as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions. The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave. The English term was borrowed from Italian.
Pergolas may link pavilions, may extend from a building’s door to an open garden feature such as an isolated terrace or pool, or may be entirely free-standing structures providing shelter and shade to a length of walkway.
A pergola is an overhead structure used to make the outdoors more inviting, to extend livable space, to create a shady retreat, and serve as a major landscaping element. They were known in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Pergolas were also a common feature of early Renaissance gardens in Italy and subsequently throughout Europe.
Why would I want a pergola?
Pergolas add grace, style, comfort and architectural character to your home. We help you create an environment that reflects your own personality and style. A Baldwin Pergola can change the way you think about your home. You may find yourself entertaining more often under your new pergola. In many cases the pergola becomes the favorite part of the house.
