When throwing a wedding, everyone’s minds dart to the most magnificent places—churches, theaters, city hall, etc. However, while all these places are terrific for wedding spots, more and more people are venturing toward nature and throwing outdoor weddings. Read on to learn some tips for throwing the perfect outdoor wedding.
Consider Comfort
In addition to ensuring that everything goes smoothly, you have to consider your guests’ comfort. Some outdoor chairs are uncomfortable and difficult to sit in, so you should invest in some that are easier for guests to feel comfortable in. Depending on the weather on the day of your wedding, you should also invest in some heaters or fans. Feeling too hot and sweaty or too cold and chilly can turn your wedding from a fun evening into a burden where people are ready to go home.
Canopy Tents
A good canopy tent is one of the most important things you’ll need when throwing an outdoor wedding. These tents are great for protecting your guests and your different equipment and furniture. However, there are some things you must consider when purchasing a canopy tent. For example, you have to think about how large your wedding is. These tents come in various sizes, and you’ll have to ensure your tent can adequately cover the entire party. Additionally, you should think about the potential weather going on and get a sturdier canopy if you think you may encounter some rain or wind.
Think About Lighting
You must also consider lighting to make your wedding that much better. Since your wedding is outdoors, the second the sun starts to set, you’ll end up in darkness. Thankfully, there are some creative ways you can light up your wedding. Consider hanging chandeliers from nearby trees or the tent to light everything up while setting the mood. You could also install some café lights or hang lights from tree limbs to give everything an otherworldly feel, helping to set the mood for an unforgettable evening. Another good option is to make use of smokeless sparklers for a dramatic effect during the grand entrance and exit of the newlyweds. The dazzling light display of wedding sparklers can add a more vibrant feel for everyone.
Embrace Nature
Since your wedding is outdoors, you should also use some natural elements for your wedding décor. Plants, trees, and flowers look beautiful in any setting, but they are almost essential for outdoor weddings. In addition, these elements are relatively cheap since you’re going to place your wedding in and around them. Let Mother Nature do the work. However, you should still include some little flourishes here and there, like hanging signs on tree limbs or using potted plants and flowers as seating placards.
Throwing the perfect outdoor wedding isn’t easy, but after putting in the proper research and work, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll have an unforgettable wedding. Nature is all around you, so you get beautiful views and gorgeous weather to make your special day much more memorable.
