Many brides have dreamed of their perfect wedding since they were a little girl. For some, their dream is to be married in a huge cathedral surrounded by beautiful white flowers and a huge white wedding dress with a train that covers most of the church. Many other brides have always dreamed of having their wedding in a particular place, such as their home church, their home, or some other special location that holds special meaning for them. There are some brides though, who from the time they were little girls, have always dreamed of an outdoor wedding. This could be taking your vows with a beautiful backdrop of the mountains, next to a sparkling river or beach, or even just in the midst of a beautiful garden blooming with all sorts of lovely smells and colors of flowers. Unfortunately, many brides who dream of having an outdoor wedding choose not to have an outdoor wedding at all, because of all the potential problems that could pop up and ruin it. So if you are one of those brides who have always dreamed of a beautiful outdoor wedding, and are wondering if you should go ahead and do it, here are some normal fears that come along with planning an outdoor wedding and some great ways on how to get around it.
What if it Rains on the Day of My Outdoor Wedding?
This is probably the biggest fear of brides when they are planning an outdoor wedding. Rain can quickly ruin the beautiful outdoor wedding that you have planned, but not if you have a backup plan. If you are getting married at an outdoor wedding location, then that company should have an indoor wedding chapel or other location in the event of rain that you can use. Check with the people at your chosen wedding site and make sure they have one before signing any contracts. Any quality outdoor wedding location will have an indoor wedding feature in the case of wind or other inclement weather.
What kind of Outdoor Wedding Reception Can I Have?
Many brides who choose to have an outdoor wedding also choose to have their outdoor wedding reception indoors. As mentioned above, most quality outdoor wedding location sites should have a permanent structure that you can use as your wedding reception. If not, then you can rent a wedding tent and have your wedding reception just a few steps away from your outdoor wedding ceremony. Wedding tents come in all shapes and sizes, and prices too. Inside your wedding tent you can have a dance floor, fancy dinner, or even just the early afternoon snack reception that you’ve always dreamed of. Some couples choose to have their wedding reception outdoors, and this is doable, but will take some planning as well. Talk to your caterer about what kinds of food will keep in the weather. You don’t want to have your wedding cake melt on you.
How do I Decorate an Outdoor Wedding?
Your outdoor wedding decorations can be as simple or as elegant as you like, just be sure to remember that nature will lend most of the decorations that you need, and you don’t want to overpower the scene with things that you add yourself. Small lights or candles seem to work best, along with small and simple decorations here and there. For more information, check out my other article, Outdoor Wedding Decorations.
With the right amount of planning, you can have the outdoor wedding of your dreams. You will find that outdoor weddings are charming, and many times more intimate than other kinds of weddings that you choose. Also, many find that taking their vows in nature adds more romance to your wedding day. So, if you are asking yourself, “Should I Have an Outdoor Wedding?” My answer is, if you really want one, then yes. Like I said, with the right amount of planning and backup plans, you can be prepared for anything that nature throws at you.
