Nothing could possibly beat an outdoor wedding. Every woman dreams of the day they are swept off their feet, fall deeply in love with the perfect man and get married. If you are planning to have the wedding of your dreams, there are several options out there for you. In a garden, at the beach or on mountain tops, you’re wedding could be a scene picked out of a romantic movie if you follow a few simple tips.
Before all else, you must think about your wedding date and anticipate the weather on that day so you can make your guests comfortable. If the day is going to be scorching hot, you may want to think about putting a canopy over your guests, maybe even a gazebo where you, your groom and wedding officiator are going to be standing. You may also want to provide a bottle of water for your ushers to pass out as they seat your guests. You also want to make sure there are enough electric fans to help cool down your guests. If that day is going to be cold, you should also warn your guests to wear extra layers of clothing. Either way, you must think about making your guest as comfortable as possible so that you don’t have to deal with the rantings on your big day.
Another tip to have the perfect outdoor wedding is to have a back up plan in case something goes wrong. The weather isn’t perfect to predict. Sometimes a very sunny day may have light showers or be quite windy. Or the sunny day might turn out to be very hot and humid. You want to make sure that your guests are shielding from the hot rays of the sun. If things don’t seem to be going the way you expect it to, a back up plan could save the day.
When you are outside, you cannot help if the wind is too windy, or if the waves are crashing too loud. You need to make sure that every guest is still able to hear the ceremony, especially if you are the one getting married. You should incorporate the ideal scenario of your location with the conditions of holding a wedding there in real life. If the location of your wedding is going to be too loud for people to hear, you need to rent a sound system to help the guest hear you and your loved one exchange vows.
Bugs and mosquitoes are pesky creatures that can ruin a wedding. If you know that there are critters flying around and biting you or your guest, be sure to take action. You may want to get bug repellent sprays and spray your location a few hours prior to the wedding ceremony or reception. You could also give your guest a heads up to wear repellent lotion such as Off! lotion. And if you want to add a romantic touch, you can light up a few citronella candles to help keep those pesky bugs away.
When you think about the decorations for your outdoor wedding, you should do a quick run of the location a few days before the big day. Nature is a beauty in itself, but you also have tame her to be your ideal look. Make sure that the flowers are in bloom or that the grass is cut and neat. For decor touches to your perfect wedding, you could add an arch where you and your groom will be standing. Lights hanging from the trees or around the bushes is also a good, romantic idea.
Of course, with any outdoor wedding, you should make sure that you have a permit for the location and everything you are going to be using during the wedding. Are you allowed to have the lights hanging in the trees? Can you have a canopy put up in the area? You’re dream wedding will not happen if you don’t make sure that you have the permit for everything.
These simple tips will help guide you to have the perfect outdoor wedding. Whether its a garden wedding, a park wedding or a beach wedding, keeping these tips in mind will be very beneficial to you, your family and your guests.
