Are you about to start planning your wedding? It’s an exciting time isn’t it because essentially, you’re setting up the best party of your life. Not only will it be a night to remember, but it’s also the start of a brand new chapter. A declaration of love, a first dance and then you’re whisked away to a romantic destination for your honeymoon. But before you get to that, you need to plan the ceremony and the reception. On that note, we have a unique suggestion for you. Why not consider getting married outdoors in the open, at a beautiful location? Instead of getting wed in the traditional church, you can make your event completely unique and unforgettable. If you’re interested in this idea, here are some of the things you’ll need to tick off your planning list.
Find The Perfect Location
Unfortunately, getting married in the open doesn’t mean you can get married anywhere. You’ll need approval from the owner of the land or the local council. So, you shouldn’t just pick a place and start setting everything up. You’ll still need to enquire months in advance and in most cases a booking will still be required. In this way, an outdoor wedding is the same as any other ceremony. You still need to jump through the same hoops to get the venue of your dreams. Our personal choice for a location is a tropical beach. Or, perhaps a mountain side overlooking the ocean waves lapping onto a beach in Greece. Now, wouldn’t that be unforgettable?
Rent A Canopy
Although we love the idea of having your whole wedding out in the open, you have to plan for the worse. No matter where you get married, there’s a chance that the weather could turn. If that happens, you don’t want to look like a drowned rat saying I do. That’s why you should rent a canopy. You’ll still get a fantastic unique environment for your wedding and some protection from the elements. At the very least we suggest you have some sort of shelter for guests at the reception.
Don’t Forget Furniture
Well, you can’t expect guests to stay standing for the whole ceremony. Be sure that you rent or buy some comfortable furniture for them to sit on. Banquet chairs and be found and purchased at low prices online, giving you a complete place for your guests to sit. If you want our recommendation, we suggest that you look for waterproof furniture. This will ensure that even if it does start to rain down from the heavens, you get your deposit back.
Choose The Right Dress
Finally, for the bride, the most important part of the wedding is always going to be the dress. If you’re getting married outdoors, you’ll have another factor to consider. You need to think about whether you have chosen the right dress for the season. For instance, if you’re getting married in the summer, you can wear a revealing, thin dress. In the winter months, you might want to opt for something a little warmer!
