The Backyard Wedding Checklist
A backyard wedding is really four rentals stacked together: a ceremony, a shelter, a dinner and a dance. Work through them in that order and the list stops feeling overwhelming.
The ceremony. A white wedding arch at $45 anchors the aisle and gives the photographs a frame. Candelabras run $20 to $30 depending on the style — the 7- and 9-light trees at $20, the spiral at $25, the 13-light fan at $25, the 21-light heart at $30 — with flameless LED candles at $1.50 each so nobody is managing open flame in a Texas breeze. A red carpet aisle runner is $49, and a unity candelabra is $20.
The shelter. This is the part people underestimate. North Texas weather does not negotiate, and a tent is insurance rather than decoration. Tents and canopies are stocked in their own category; sizing depends on guest count and whether dining happens under cover.
The dinner. Tables and chairs, linens or plastic covers, glassware, plates and flatware by the piece, and chafing dishes to hold food hot. Spandex chair covers are $9.95 each if the folding chairs need dressing up.
The dance. A laminate dance floor from $180, a PA system from $45 and a wireless lapel microphone at $45 for the officiant so the vows are audible past the third row.
Ceremony Pieces in Detail
Arch and aisle
White wedding arch $45 / day. Red carpet aisle runner 4′ x 25′ $49. White picket fence panels $20 each to define the ceremony space, and stanchions with velvet or leather rope at $8 per piece for a formal entrance.
Candelabras
Tree 7-light and 9-light $20, spiral 15-light $25, fan 13-light $25, heart 21-light $30, unity candelabra $20. Penelope centerpiece candelaria $7.50. Flameless 11″ LED candles $1.50 and hobnail votive cups $0.40.
Sound and staging
Wireless lapel microphone $45 so the officiant is heard without a microphone in the photographs. Rechargeable battery PA $45 for ceremonies with no nearby outlet. Biljax stage sections $40 each if the ceremony needs a rise.
Pipe and drape sections at $25 to $35 are worth knowing about — they hide a fence, a garage door or a neighbor's shed and turn an ordinary backyard into a finished-looking space in the photographs.
Practical Advice From a Store That Has Seen a Few Hundred of These
- Book the tent first. Everything else has substitutes; shelter does not. In spring and fall, DFW tents go early, and a wedding without a rain plan is a wedding with a rain problem.
- Count chairs twice. Ceremony seating and reception seating are often the same chairs moved between two areas, which needs a person assigned to move them during cocktail hour. If nobody is assigned, rent two sets.
- Flameless candles are not a compromise. Outdoors in Texas, real candles blow out repeatedly and become somebody's job for the whole ceremony. LED candles read the same in photographs.
- Check your power before renting anything electric. Backyards typically have one or two exterior circuits. A coffee maker, a PA and string lighting on the same breaker will trip it during the toasts.
- Pick up Friday, return Monday. Most weekend weddings work this way, and it is usually billed more favorably than three separate daily rentals. Ask when you call.
- Tell the counter the whole plan, not a list of items. Describe the wedding — guest count, indoor or outdoor, seated or buffet — and the staff will catch the things missing from your list. That is the advantage of a store that has been doing this since 1959.

Renting for a Wedding in Arlington — Frequently Asked Questions
What do I actually need to rent for a backyard wedding?
Work in four groups: ceremony (arch $45, candelabras from $20, aisle runner $49), shelter (a tent, booked first), dinner (tables, chairs, linens, glassware, chafing dishes from $15) and dance (a floor from $180 and a PA from $45). Call (817) 277-1141 and describe the wedding — the staff will catch what your list is missing.
How much does a wedding arch cost to rent?
The white wedding arch rents for $45 per day or $130 per week. Candelabras run from $20 for a 7- or 9-light tree up to $30 for the 21-light heart, and flameless LED candles are $1.50 each. Rates are subject to change — call to confirm.
Should I use real candles or flameless ones outdoors?
Flameless, almost always. Outdoors in North Texas, real candles blow out repeatedly and relighting them becomes somebody's job through the entire ceremony. The 11-inch ivory LED candles at $1.50 each read identically in photographs and stay lit.
When should I book wedding rentals?
As early as you can, and book the tent before anything else. Spring and fall weekends in DFW go quickly, and a tent is the one item with no substitute if the weather turns. Everything else can usually be adjusted closer to the date.
Can I rent for the whole weekend?
Most weekend weddings pick up Friday and return Monday, which is generally billed more favorably than three separate daily rentals. Ask how your dates work when you call (817) 277-1141 so the equipment is held for the full window.
Do you rent linens, glassware and plates as well?
Yes. Spandex chair covers are $9.95, plastic table covers $6.50, and glassware, flatware and plates rent by the piece from $0.45 to $0.65. Pipe and drape sections at $25 to $35 are also available to screen off a fence, garage door or anything else you would rather not have in the photographs.
