After years of experience on planning outdoor weddings we want to share with you 5 tips that will make you shine on your outdoor wedding day.
Find the perfect venue
Look for barn and farm venues, winery venues, rooftop venues or beach venues.
Compare places and decide what is the best option for your special wedding day.
Decorations
One of the bonuses of an outdoor wedding is the natural beauty around you, add extra beauty with arch or trellis to focus the ceremony and frame the bride and groom as they say their vows; strings of lights or lanterns in the trees; luminarias; torches; or farolitos.
Avoid the Sun
Consider having your outdoor wedding for sunset where your guests will see you take your vows surrounded by the warm glow of bay islands sun.
Keep guests as comfortable as possible.
Guests will be seated for an extended period of time during your ceremony, protecting them from any uncomfortable outdoor elements is the way you want to go. Consider providing parasols to keep them shaded in the sunshine, hand fans or chilled water to keep them cool in the heat.
Create a Plan B.
While an outdoor wedding means beautiful views, it also means you need to take weather into account. We know it may be difficult to think about rain on your wedding day, but it’s best to prepare a Plan B with your planner or the venue just in case.
Pro tip: pick three things you absolutely love about your Plan B so if you end up needing to use it, you can remain positive.
Now that you’ve covered all of the logistics, it’s time to gather inspiration. Aside from the view and the plants already there, you’re free to decorate however you want. Some ideas could be (cozy chairs and rugs) at the venue or setting up a rustic campfire at your backyard wedding, the amount of outdoor wedding ideas is endless. We can create your outdoor dream wedding alive.
