The Great Outdoors Planning to hold your ceremony or reception amid the elements? You’ll want to read these 15 tips first.
W
When it comes to finding the perfect place to say “I do,” it’s tough to beat an outdoor venue. No matter if your ceremony or reception takes place alongside a lake, on a sandy beach, beneath a gazebo, or among glorious gardens, when Mother Nature has a hand in the occasion, she can bring an extra-special magic to an already memorable event. But sometimes pulling off a flawless outdoor wedding isn’t as easy as it looks. The weather may not cooperate, and there may be added expenses and considerations when it comes to everything from your makeup to your flowers. So before you
commit to an al fresco celebration, first see what our wedding pros have to say.
have a backup plan Few things go according to schedule, so it’s important to prepare for any and all possibilities. Jennifer Ryal, wedding coordinator for West Baden Springs Hotel and wedding sales manager for French Lick Resort, says the more detailed your plan B, the better. This begins with making sure that your outdoor venue has a backup space that can accommodate your bridal party and guests in the event of inclement weather. Of course, there will be differences between the backup space and the original venue. Because of that, it’s important that you love both spaces and that you rehearse in each so that you can adjust the ceremony accordingly. “Your backup plan needs to be pretty solid,” Ryal says. “Even if it doesn’t rain the day of the wedding, it might rain the night before, making the outside venue
less than ideal. That’s why it’s important to have a hard plan in place for both the indoor and outdoor scenario because you never know how the day will work out.”
read the fine print Nothing is worse than spending months planning a wedding—outdoors or not— only to discover some key detail has been overlooked and now threatens to upset the applecart. Although wedding professionals strive to provide couples with an itemized list of everything included in their services, it’s critical that couples don’t assume something if they don’t see it in writing. If a backup tent, heaters, fans, or a dance floor were not included but are suddenly needed at the last minute, be prepared not only for an additional charge, but a premium in order to get them. By reading through your contract, you can ensure everything goes smoothly and that continued on page 16

Barn Ready Rustic wedding venues are all the rage. But before you say ‘I do’ to holding your nuptials in one, there are some considerations to take into account.
O
pen since July 2014, The Barn at Kennedy Farm in Lizton hosts about 100 weddings per year. When couples visit the venue, nearly all of them sign a contract right then and there, says owner Kim Svoma. It’s indicative of just how popular these pastoral settings have become. And in Central Indiana, couples have a growing number of options. For those looking to hold their celebration in a barn, here are some questions to think about before committing to such a site.
Is there heating and air conditioning?
Though Svoma’s venue was constructed with comfort in mind—“each wing of the barn is built in a cross shape, and each wing has 10-foot doors that open up so there’s a really nice cross breeze,” she says—not all barns will be outfitted with HVAC. That can play a huge role in summer and winter celebrations. If you need to rent air-conditioners and heaters, tweak your budget appropriately.
outlets, you can rent generators for extra power—and an additional cost.
How will guests get around the site? Is there paved parking? And if it rains, will those picture-perfect grounds turn into a soggy, muddy mess? Keep in mind your guests and their ease of navigating. If you’ll need special transportation, make sure to ask up front. Some barns, Svoma says, have golf carts for transporting the elderly and pregnant women.
Just how rustic is it?
Are there enough outlets? Think about your DJ or band, your caterer, and your lighting needs. “I have electricity in every post,” Svoma says. “There are huge oak trees on the property. I ran power out to the trees for the officiant, outside music, and lighting.” If the barn you’re considering doesn’t have enough
14 INDIANA BRIDE | SUMMER 2015
Are there are bathroom facilities? Svoma says it’s pretty common for a barn not to have modern restrooms (hers does, though). When you’re touring a venue, take the facilities into account. “Renting a restroom can be so expensive,” she says, adding that a higher-end style can balloon your budget by up to $1,500. When you’re visiting a barn, Svoma recommends checking it out during the same month you’re getting married. That way, you can get an accurate view of what it’ll be like on your big day. “There are a lot of pros to barn weddings—people love to be outside, they love the whole rustic feel,” she says. “I know when I have a wedding, people are out on the deck, they’re in the yard, they’re playing games. There are a lot of perks to it.”

Are we talking bales of hay, loads of bugs, and dust and dirt? Those probably aren’t on your guest list. Ask how the venue is kept clean. Svoma’s barn is professionally sprayed for insects and the floors are pressure washed every week. “We’re picky,” she says with a laugh. “I try to marry the classy and the rustic. I still want it to be neat and clean and have a rustic elegance to it.”

continued from page 13
there are no surprises on the big day. “Talk to the venue coordinator about any questions you may have and look for potential conflicts,” Ryal says. “Your live musicians may balk at playing in direct sun or in grass, so if you talk to the venue about the best place to set up the bandstand or any other provisions you may need, last-minute misunderstandings and additional charges can be avoided.”
keep your guests comfortable Indiana weather is notoriously fickle. Though summers are traditionally hot and humid, spring and fall can also bring a wide range of temperatures.
Meghan Kibbe, event specialist with Ritz Charles, says couples should make their guests aware that they are having an outdoor ceremony and/or reception, so that attendees can plan their wardrobe accordingly and decide if they need sunscreen or insect repellent. “I’ve seen ceremonies where they have parasols for the bridal party and guests, and fans and cucumber water so that guests can refresh themselves,” Kibbe 16 INDIANA BRIDE | SUMMER 2015

Colorful parasols make for a fun and functional summertime wedding favor.

says. “Depending on the time of year, you may also need to rent fans or space heaters to keep your guests comfortable.”
consider your bridal party In addition to thinking of your guests, you should also be mindful of your own comfort and that of your bridal party. An outdoor wedding may be fraught with pitfalls that are easy to avoid if you take in the lay of the land beforehand. Uneven terrain can make walking in high heels difficult, trees can catch and snag a long veil, and grass, mud, and mulch can stain a pristine gown before photos are taken. “I recommend walkable shoes for the bridal party,” says Kibbe. “While you may have a paved area for the bridal party to walk along, you are going to end up in the grass for pictures, so it’s important that their heels do not sink.” Plastic heel protectors can help everyone stay above ground. Consider hats or parasols for summer weddings and pashmina shawls for a cooler evening event. As the bride, you may find that a shorter veil is better. “Comfort is key,” Kibbe says.
hair’s the thing In order to keep hair from drooping, becoming frizzy, and looking less than its best, brides should choose a style that works well with their hair’s natural texture on a humid day—rather than fighting an uphill battle to get the style of their dreams. A cute topknot, a braid, or an updo is always a good choice for a summer wedding, but if you have your heart set on something long and loose, there are some tricks of the trade that can give you the best chance for a good hair day. “Smoothing agents like Aquage Behave, Salon 01 brand Leave it Smooth, and Aquage Sea Extend silkening oil foam will help fight frizzy effects of humidity,” says Angela Bloehs, a senior stylist with Salon 01. “Products like Salon 01 Blown Out and Aquage Uplifting Foam create volume and memory to ensure SUMMER 2015 | INDIANA BRIDE 17

Brides concerned that their makeup will fade or melt should consider airbrushing their face in place if they’re planning an outdoor event that will last for hours. Kelly Lohrman, spa director and aesthetician at Salon 01, says a setting powder or spray will also help preserve one’s makeup and keep it looking great long term.
“You should also make sure to have a touchup kit on hand for the wedding day, including a setting powder, blush, and lipstick, as well as a travel-size hairspray and extra bobby pins just in case,” Lohrman says.

staying power.” To go the extra mile in keeping strands in place, use a humidity-resistant hairspray. Blowing out the hair using small sections and a round brush can also ensure that your style is locked in. “Curly hair also needs the proper amount of product to help seal the cuticle and resist moisture, which will help minimize frizz,” Bloehs says.

as hot, and there is a lot less stress in doing some photos beforehand,” she says. “If you have to do the pictures during the heat of the day, I suggest looking for areas with a bit of shade or carrying special cloths that people can blot on their faces in order to soak up sweat.” Misting lightly? That doesn’t have to put a damper on the photo shoot when there’s a white umbrella (Clark usually provides this), a tent, or a gazebo available. If photos have to be moved indoors, many venues have large windows that enable the natural setting to still be part of the captured images. “Like with everything involved in an outdoor wedding, you need to have a backup plan,” Clark says. “But generally, the couples I’ve worked with are pretty down to earth and know I can’t create something that isn’t there. I do touch up photos after the fact and can help things

be brighter than they might have been or make the sky a little bluer.”
create a list of photos An outdoor venue presents numerous photo opportunities. Figure out your must-haves, and make that list available to your photographer. Chances are if you try to remember what you want the day of the wedding, you’ll get lost in the celebration and forget about that beautiful shot by the towering oak tree or picturesque stream until it’s too late. “I really like sunset pictures,” Clark says. “Most of my couples love those, and because a lot of outdoor weddings occur in the late afternoon, it’s easy to steal them away from the reception for 15 minutes and get a shot they’ll treasure.” SUMMER 2015 | INDIANA BRIDE 19

When choosing your wedding flowers, know which varieties will hold up in summer conditions. Although hydrangeas grow well in the heat, once they’re cut, they don’t last. And though ranunculus stems might be all the rage on Pinterest, they’re too delicate to withstand a summer wedding. “Roses do quite well for summer events. They come in several varieties and colors have a high petal count and look great,” says Catherine Simmons, owner of CS Scan for Accoutrements. “Calla lilies are a great FUN choice as STUFF! well. When a bride chooses a floral professional, it’s a good idea to give them a sense of what she likes, but then allow for some creative freedom.”

Flowers aren’t the only option to make your outdoor wedding pop. Potted plants add ambience, and fruit arrangements are wonderful options in lieu of traditional centerpieces. Gourds, tree branches, and other natural beauties can also set the scene for your big day. “It’s important for brides to think outside the box,” says Simmons. “They want

serve seasonal fare A summer wedding is the perfect occasion for lighter, more refreshing food, something you and your guests will appreciate when temperatures climb. Crystal Catering, the food provider for The Willows on Westfield, offers many summer-inspired dishes, such as honeyginger glazed salmon, shrimp served with basmati rice, or a watermelon and cantaloupe gazpacho. “One of the latest food trends for outdoor weddings is food stations, which not only provide an added source of en-

tertainment, because they enable guests to interact with the chef, but also allow them to try new foods and step out of their comfort zone a little,” says Maryanne Hawkins, director/sales manager for The Willows. “The important thing with an outdoor wedding is to avoid any foods with mayonnaise or other ingredients that cannot be left outdoors, and use chafing dishes and ice to keep everything at the correct temperature for consumption.”
hydrate creatively Signature cocktails are another trend couples are steering toward. And there’s no shortage of possibilities. “We have a strawberry-lime-basil lemonade cocktail that’s great for an outdoor wedding, as well as a ginger lemongrass SUMMER 2015 | INDIANA BRIDE 21

be kept refrigerated as long as possible. When delivered, it should be protected from the sun by a tent or other shelter—or you might risk melted icing. “Fondant doesn’t melt the way buttercream does, but it still needs to be protected for safety,” she says. Brides having an outdoor wedding should also ensure that their cake table is level. “Uneven ground can topple a tiered creation, so it’s important that you or your venue provide [table] shims to make sure the cake stays on a level surface,” McHone says. Summer wedding cakes call for berries and citrus to give a light, fruity flavor. McHone says strawberry, orange, Key lime, raspberry, and traditional vanilla make for a lovely cake, as does including a fruit filling to give it an added flair. 22 INDIANA BRIDE | SUMMER 2015

mind the details When planning an outdoor wedding, consider whether the presence of a fountain might take away from your guests’ ability to hear, if wind could blow out your unity candle before you’re declared husband and wife, and how each element could make or break the celebration. “An outdoor wedding often has a lot of risks, but the payoff is huge,” says Kibbe. “There’s nothing like one to begin the next phase of your life.”
