Follow these effective wedding planning tips to ensure that your outdoor wedding is everything you dreamed it would be.
Location
From beaches, to gardens to mountain-view fields, location is the most important aspect of an outdoor wedding. Before doing any of your other planning, you need to choose the location. Knowing your location will help you choose your wedding theme colors, wedding motif, invitations and decor. Think about if you would like to have your ceremony and reception in the same spot, or if you want to move indoors for the reception. If you want to do the ceremony outside and the reception inside, you will need to choose a location with a reception hall nearby. Save on flowers and decorations by choosing a location that is scenic in its own right, such as a garden or park. Although you may hope and pray that it will not rain on your wedding day, be sure to look into rainy day options for your proposed ceremony site before making the final decision.
Practical Considerations
When choosing the timing of your wedding, think about where the sun will be. It might be romantic to have the sun setting behind you, but do you really want your guests squinting into the sun as you say your vows? Think about which direction you want the guests to face and where you want the wedding party to enter. Is there a place where the bride can stay concealed until the start of the ceremony? Will the wedding party have to walk through the grass or rocky paths? You want to make sure that the path you will walk is not so long that your wedding musician will have to play "Here Comes the Bride" several times through in order for you to reach the stage. If the path you and your gals will walk down is not paved, you may want to consider wearing sandals or flat shoes instead of high heels. Heels can sink into the grass and be quite difficult to walk in if the ground is not flat and even.
Invitations
Be sure to make a mention that the wedding is being organized outdoors. Even if your wedding is taking place in a park, guests may not know that the chapel or theater is under the open sky. You will want your guests to be prepared for any type of weather, as it can be difficult for guests to enjoy the ceremony if they are cold, wet, or getting sunburn. If the wedding will take place in a location with no shade, make this clear in the invitation. Simply add a phrase like, "Please bring your own shades and sunscreen!" to the wedding invitations. The last thing you want at an outdoor wedding is guests sweating in suit jackets or shivering in the cold because they weren't informed of the outdoor setting.
An outdoor wedding can be unique and romantic, but it can also be a disaster if practical planning is overlooked.
Portable Toilets
Planning an outdoor wedding sometimes takes a lot more effort than a traditional indoor one, especially when it comes to scheduling logistics like porta-potties. Even if the outdoor venue has some toilet provisions, they may not be enough for all your guests. Thinking about a remote location like a campground or a beach? As wedding destinations become increasingly remote, sanitation facilities may not be available at all. If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, hire it from the best in the USA, Porta Potty Service.
