Ten Tips for the Perfect Outdoor Wedding

10 Tips for the Perfect Outdoor Wedding

1. Make your guests comfortable.

Weather is a very important factor in planning an outdoor wedding. If your wedding date is during warm/hot weather, be sure to have cold bottles of water on hand for your guests as well as paper fans. You may also consider large electric fans. If colder weather is a possibility for your outdoor wedding, consider portable heaters and lap blankets. 2. Windy weather. The type of fabric chosen for your wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses can be affected by windy weather. Avoid lighter fabrics such as chiffon and similar fabrics. 3. Decorations. Outdoor weddings provide the inherent natural beauty of the wedding locale. It is necessary to be sure the site is properly mowed and the landscape is manicured prior to the day of your wedding. You may also want to add additional plants and/or flowers, luminarias, lights and a trellis for the vows. 4. Bugs. They will be present also. Have citronella candles and other forms of bug repellent (sprays, etc...). 5. Can everyone hear? Wind, waves, and other outdoor noises may be things you hadn’t thought of for your outdoor dream wedding. You may want to look into mike clips for the bride, groom and officiant. 6. Tasty outdoor fare. Talk with your caterer regarding menu items that will survive the outdoor heat or damp weather. 7. Thirsty guests. Serve libations such as lemonade, punches, ice tea, etc....for warm weather weddings. Hot cocoa, coffees and hot teas for cold/damp weather.
