An outdoor wedding can be a true joy for everyone – but the truth is that it might need a bit of extra-planning from your behalf. What are some of the most important things to consider when planning an outdoor wedding and how to make sure it runs smoothly? Here are some tips you should definitely keep in mind:
- Be temperature-conscious. If you know it’s going to get chilly during your wedding ceremony (or reception, if you want to have that on the outdoors too), make sure you provide guests with heating options – such as hot drinks or blankets on each of the seats. At the same time, if you know the weather is going to be really hot, provide people with cooling options (e.g. fans that double as wedding programs), water and refreshments, as well as shade (as much as possible, at least).
- Be comfort-conscious. You want your guests to be really comfortable throughout the wedding, so make sure everything at your wedding makes them feel cozy. For example, you could cover wooden or metal chairs with beautiful-colored cushions, and you could provide bridesmaids with cement blocks to stand on during the reception (so that they can stand on heels).
- Always have a back-up plan. Unfortunately, you cannot really plan the weather on your wedding day – so an outdoor wedding should always come with a plan B (even if it’s just putting up a wedding tent to protect everyone from the rain). Think well about this, talk to your venue manager and see what are your options.
