Outdoor weddings are very beautiful but there are certain things one should take into consideration before deciding on your location/venue.One of our clients recently attended two outdoor weddings. Although the view was beautiful, the sun was blazing and she was extremely hot and bothered. Wedding Planners are an excellent resource for many things but we do not possess control over the weather.
Here are a few tips to help you plan for and keep your guests comfortable during an outdoor wedding:
2. Offer guests a parasol or a hand held fan to help keep them cool. The best part is the parasol can also serve as a favor and of fans can be used as programs which is always a nice touch.
3. Tent your Event - tents are a great option for shade or as an option for inclement weather. The flip side is that they tend to be a bit pricey so be sure you can afford the use of a tent. (FYI - tents can be used for receptions as well. You can add flooring and lighting to your decor to maximize the beauty of the reception and add cooling units to keep your guests cool).
4. Be sure to have a back up plan in case of inclement whether. Many venues offer an inside location as an alternative option.
5. Choose a location with trees nearby. Trees are not only a natural beauty and great for pictures but they are a saving grace when it comes to offering shade from the sun.
6. Look into hosting your event near the water. Not only does it offer a nice background but it is usually much cooler near a natural body of water.
7. Select a venue that offers a covered pavilion. Some are equipped with ceiling fans and outlets for power and some even have sides that come down to protect you and your guests from rain and the wind.
There are a lot more tips to I could offer but hopefully these will help you get started with planning for your outdoor ceremony and selecting a venue. It's all about you and your fiance on your wedding day. Keep the guests focused on you and beat the heat!
