Would you like to spend your big day outdoors? An outdoor wedding can make all your dreams come true or it can be a total flop. These tips will help make your outdoor wedding special, even when it rains.
If you want to get married in style, the allure of a huge garden full of tulips or roses is great. While the allure of an outdoor wedding under arched flower canopies shouldn’t be denied, there’s one thing that will ruin your outdoor wedding faster than you can snap your fingers in the flower beds… and that’s all. The weather. These outdoor wedding tips include ways to keep your guests clean and dry.
Tips for decorating an outdoor wedding for an exceptional event
Let’s start with tip number one: provide your guests with a warm, dry place to relax.
1. The Wedding Tent
There are two or three ways to furnish this space. You can rent a wedding venue at the hotel and get married on the premises, using the space as needed. You can get married in an outdoor gazebo that has space for your guests. You can even buy a wedding tent, especially if it is a wedding venue. Buying a wedding tent allows your guests to be sheltered from the wind and gives you a place to decorate in the same way you decorate tables and chairs indoors. You can even set up your dance floor in the wedding tent and have an outdoor DJ.
2. Fairy lights are your friend
With enough light, you can transform even the darkest garden into a wedding paradise. Battery or solar-powered, these lights create a wonderful ambiance that improves throughout the day.
3. The flowers couldn’t be fresher
Instead of cutting flowers, why not include plants and vases in the table decorations? Brides Magazine recommends bringing potted trees indoors. You can use flower pots as centerpieces and even give them to notable members of the bridal party to take home.
4. Alternate seating
You should have a rain plan for inclement weather, but if the weather holds, alternative outdoor seating is a great way to add texture and fun to an outdoor wedding. Think tea in the woods or at the Mad Hatter’s table. You can have chandeliers, sofas, and chaise longues all outside on the lawn.
5. Fairy corners
Outdoor weddings are the perfect excuse to build little bubbles of comfort indoors. Set up smaller wedding tents or create spaces with well-placed plants. Small wood protection areas can become magical with the right lighting and brightness.
6. Balloons and garlands of flowers
You can still have balloon arches and flower garlands at an outdoor wedding. Also, you can’t add too much ribbon or too many candlesticks. Balloons and garlands of flowers are another perfect decoration idea to gift guests at the end of the night.
