Many couples dream of a wedding in the open air,
and once the idea has come to them, dont wait to
settle for anything less. There are however some
practical considerations involved when planning a
wedding outdoors.
Heres How to Plan a Summer Outdoor Wedding
3
Make Your Guests Comfortable
If you choose to have wedding ceremony outside,
how are you going to make sure your guests are
protected from the unpredictable wedding? The
trick is to be prepared for all eventualities. In
cold weather, think about portable heaters as
well as providing tap blankets and hot drinks. If
the day is warm and sunny outside consider
supplies such as small bottles of iced waters,
fan and sunscreen for your guests or you could
rent large electric fans to keep them cool.

What Will You Do if it Rains?
A sturdy tent that is firmly secured to the
ground is ideal for light rain, but with heavy
rain and wind you should have a back up indoor
plan just in case. You might consider timing your
wedding for sunset. For a daytime wedding plan
carefully and try to arrange your seating so that
the sun will shine on the back of the guests.
5
Looking Your Best Outdoors
If you are set on getting wedding outdoors,
choose your dress materials in heavier fabrics
and give your hairdressers plenty of warning that
you need a hairstyle that wont be swept
away. Equip the men in the wedding party with
hair styling products. Let your guests know that
your wedding will be held outdoors, so that they
can wear appropriate footwear.

Sound Systems Can be A Solution

• A sound system can be rented which gives clip on
  microphone to the bride and groom as well as the
  clergyman. Ask your band if they can organize
  this for you.
• Beware of this Loud Noises
• Crashing waves
• Children yelling
• Dogs barking
• Birds tweeting

Consider the Outdoor Scenery
An outdoor wedding may give you a fantastic
backdrop of nature, but you might still need to
make an effort. Keep an eye on the wedding site
in the week before your marriage ceremony to make
sure it is in good condition.
8
Dont Forget About the Food
Dont forget to use caterers who have an
experience preparing suitable foods to be served
outdoors. Its best to stay away mayonnaise-based
dishes that need to be kept cold especially for a
summer wedding. Dont serve anything that is
perishable. Have plenty of drinks options to keep
your guests hydrated.
