Ah, an outdoor wedding! The sunny blue sky, nature smiling up on you and romantic slow breeze…at least, this is how you dream of it to be. However in reality, there is a lot that can go wrong when you are celebrating in the open. Thus, it demands lots of wedding Planning and preparation to ensure that your guests are comfortable throughout and you reach the sweet ending of your big day without any stress. And we present to you a list of 7 things that you should keep in mind to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
- Rules and Permits
Do proper research and know about the rules of the venue that you are planning your wedding at. Having you wedding day at the park where you have so many memories as a kid might seem like the best idea ever but there could be permissions that you would need to take from concerned authorities before you can plan anything at a public place.
- Ensure Guests Comfort
Make sure that you have your guests’ comfort scheduled at the top of your priority list. Your site should be well-equipped with commodities like fans, proper lightening system, outdoor heating units, power backups, refreshing drinks and fragrance candles. Prepare a list of things that your venue won’t provide you and get them arranged as the early stages of your preparation only.
- Have Extra Costs Counted
I understand that you are having wedding at a public place but that doesn’t mean that it would be certainly be low budget. Visit the site well in advance and figure out if there is any ‘suggested donation’ or fee to hire it for wedding. Also, figure out if there will be requirement of valet parking or hire security in that area for the comfort of your guests.
- Weather Proof Décor
Since you are celebrating in open there will be possibility of strong winds or rains. Do not rule out any of the weather conditions even though you feel that it’s not the season for nature showers. So, make sure that your décor is strong enough to withstand rains or strong breeze.
- Set up an A/V and Sound System
Nobody likes to strain their ears to listen your vows and toasts, nor would they like to have such loud music system that it becomes difficult to hear the next person over it. Thus it is important to have a proper sound system set up in advance.
- Craft an Easy Flow
Depending on the size of your venue, create a beautiful path for your guests to lead them around. You can put cute signs around or arrange for carpet/flower route in order to make it easier for them to walk on. Just make sure that your guests don’t have to go past trash bins or restrooms.
- Look for an Expert
I know you might be wondering by now that how would to manage so much I have mentioned above on your own. And, of course the list doesn’t just end with these points.
