Don’t let the weather play spoil sport
The season in which you plan to get married is of utmost importance while planning an outdoor wedding. Inclement weather conditions like rain or hail could pose a considerable risk. Autumn and summer are typically well suited for outdoor weddings. Make sure to have back up plans to meet any weather emergency, including renting tents with climate control options to match the prevailing seasons.
Choose your favorite location
From beaches to hill stations and parks and forests, there is no dearth of choices when it comes to an outdoor wedding. However before finalizing any location, you have to consider all the related issues like transportation of guests, catering facilities and so on. If the locale is remote and is not easily accessible you may run up a hefty bill by way of the pre wedding arrangements. There could be many constraints for outdoor wedding destinations like lack of toilet facilities and transportation options. So it becomes your responsibility to provide these vital services and facilities for the invited guests. You can consider shuttle services and cabs for ferrying the guests to and from the wedding venue. Portable bathrooms and toilet facilities are good options to consider for any outdoor wedding. However care should be taken to make all these arrangements early so that no rude surprises await you.
Consider the lodging options
In remote locations there won’t probably be any convenient accommodation options for the guests. So you may have to look for any nearby town hotels before you make plans. Also make sure that there are restaurants in the area.
Getting the décor done
On the downside, an outdoor wedding could involve a lot of hard work in getting the venue ready as per your theme and design. You may have to organize chairs, tables, linen, glass ware, and marques and so on not to forget the bakers and caterers.
Show your Creativity
A country wedding could be dramatically beautiful provided you put your creative skills to the best use. A wedding planner might come handy in converting the rustic setting into a charming wedding aisle. Floral decorations, wooden benches, lamps, exquisite center pieces, hand written table cards, wedding favours in rustic style etc. can all pack a punch to the themed wedding. Make sure to throw in a lot of personal elements and décor to make your wedding a great affair.
All it takes is a bit of planning and loads of creative ideas to make an outdoor wedding happen. Make the best of it!
