Preparing for an outdoor wedding Everything you need to know to create your dream wedding With the summer on our doorstep, our minds naturally go to outdoor weddings. Whether you’re attending one or planning one, it’s the best time of year for celebrations. However, as romantic as a summer weddings seem, there are lots of things that go into the planning. To help you through this process, we have created your ultimate guide and checklist for your outdoor wedding. The first thing to consider is what type of outdoor wedding are you dreaming of? There are beach ones, woodland, garden, vineyard and many more! Have a couple of ideas in mind and apply these to the below tips. Depending on where you get married could reduce or increase your planning needs. STEP 1: FINDING A VENUE THAT IS LICENSED It’s not the end of the world if the location you want to get married at isn’t licensed, this simply means that you’ll need to do the legal bit elsewhere and make the wedding the symbolic union with a Celebrant. In an ideal world, you can do it all under one roof (or no roof, if you will) so the day can feel seamless and you can concentrate on the day, rather than the logistics. jonathanborba.46graus.com www.sjobjio.com STEP 2: REMEMBER THAT LESS IS MORE With an outdoor wedding, you want to ensure that you are making the most of the environment. Find décor that complements the scenery instead of taking away from it. For example, in a woodland wedding, we’d recommend fairlylights and lanterns instead of uplighting or excessively bright lights. You want to lean into the romantics of it! Similarly, the food can make or break the atmosphere you build on the day. Outdoor wedding means that people are moving around a lot, so you need to pick food that isn’t too messy, can be eaten standing up, and won’t leave lots of rubbish. OUTDOOR WEDDINGS 51
