Outdoor wedding organization is a bit more complicated than its indoor marriage counterpart. More things have to be taken into account, such as the weather, more details about the setting, and the presence of any stinging insects. But it is well worth it.
Just to be on the safe side, it is advisable to have an alternative indoors place for the outdoors wedding, to safeguard yourself and your guests if the weather turns sour. In out of the way locations, it is best to hire a big catering tent to erect near the chosen spot.
Some managed areas of great natural beauty, such as some national parks, may not be experienced in hosting outdoor weddings. Make sure you know the rules of the venue you choose, check if you need a permit, if there are any special rules, and don't rely on the site managers to organize everything for you.
Make sure that all the needed infrastructure will be available for your outdoor wedding day. Things such as portable toilets are fundamental if there are no close restrooms, and in remote locations where there is no electricity you may need a generator to ensure availability of lighting.
As for decorations, at an outdoor wedding Mother Nature provides most of them, with plants, flora, and a beautiful view such as the ocean from a beach. But you may want to add to all this somewhat. Many couples choose a wedding arch or other central element to provide a focal point for the ceremony.
Wedding arches are available in many types and styles, to suit your budget, style and preferences. They are usually rugged and beautiful enough to be reused as a garden decoration after the outdoor wedding, and can be bought over the Internet at several specialized retailers.
Some extra potted or cut flowers could also be a nice addition. These can either be prepared by you, maybe with the help of your close family, or you can get a professional florist to put up the flowers for you.
One important thing to remember when informing your guests about the upcoming marriage is that the wedding will be held outdoors, and that you should give them the right information allowing them to plan their dress accordingly. How warm is it going to be, and is there any risk of rain or wind gusts?
Consider the access to the chosen outdoor wedding venue. Is it easy to reach? You may have to organize a shuttle bus if it's hard to part at the site. Maybe some walking will be necessary, and in that case you have to take the mobility of elderly, disabled or pregnant guests into account.
As for the couple's dress, it should be adapted to the situation. For the bride, high heels are to be avoided, and a dress with a skirt that doesn't train on the ground is highly recommended. Your dress will get very dirty if you get one that is unsuitable for an outdoor wedding. - 30299
