Different types of weddings and how to plan them How to get to ‘I do’ INDOOR WEDDINGS The expected location for a wedding and a classic for a reason. Wandering the halls of a gorgeous mansion or letting your hair down in a converted barn are all reasons we have grown to love a good old wedding. But it’s not as straightforward as setting some tables and ordering flowers – there are still lots of things to consider for your big day. Have you got entertainment for the party that won’t take up too much room? Do you have any games to keep your guests occupied? Is the dancing area overhanging the eating area? Have the pictures got the potential to be as beautiful as the ones you’d get outdoors? The faҫade of buildings stands the test of time, it’s how they are decorated inside that can show their age. So, in getting married indoors, do you run the risk of your wedding album being ’out of date’ in 10 years? Not to mention that with indoor weddings, you inevitably have the divide of a ‘party in the smoking area’ and ‘party on the dancefloor’. OUTDOOR WEDDINGS As we bask in the summer months, your mind will naturally fall on an outdoor wedding for your nuptials. Whilst this is a great option, and a popular one, there are lots of things that go into the planning, that you may not have considered before. First and foremost, you need a plan B, should the weather take a classic British turn. Have plenty of covered spaces in case the heavens open or if the sun is too relentless to be in. Pair this with mini umbrellas and hand-fans to prepare for both extremes. Next up, have you got stable ground for your guests to walk on? You may have elderly guests that need more support getting to the ceremony area. To light the way for everyone on your day, you’ll also need to consider some romantic lighting; like fairylights, festoon lights, and lanterns. Finally, to keep your guests entertained, you’ll need some awesome games to fill the time and space. These could be anything you want, as you have less restrictions on space and don’t have to worry about expensive interiors. So, you’re engaged...what’s next? Firstly, a massive congratulations to you both! Now comes the tricky part of trying to organise a killer wedding that your friends and family will remember. There are many different types of weddings you could go for, and you may have already thought about it. But here’s a breakdown of each one, things you need to consider when planning, and options you may not have explored before, but which one is right for you? www.550park.com www.adeledebruyn.com FLOWERS 15 PLANNING SOS
