Outdoor Wedding

There’s nothing quite as romantic as being married under a sunny sky on the beach, in a garden or even in your own backyard. The key is proper preparation and attention to detail.

Once you know how long your guest list will be, you can begin narrowing down the possible locations for your outdoor wedding. Take into consideration how much space you’ll need and whether or not you want the reception and actually ceremony to be in the same location. If you want both to be outdoors, look for a location with space enough for the food, entertainment and your guests, and don’t forget to take into account room for dancing!

Outdoor Weddings Can be Held in Unique Locations

Although a backyard wedding or a wedding at a botanical garden is wonderful, you shouldn’t limit yourself when you begin searching for a location. Some other terrific spots to consider include:

• Museum courtyards

• Public or National Parks

• Historical homes or mansions with gardens

Outdoor Weddings Require Attention to Detail

Some questions to ask when you begin searching for a good location for your outdoor wedding might be:

• Can the space accommodate all of my guests?

• Is it easy to get to and comfortable for older guests or those who have mobility problems?

• What will you do if it rains or there are other weather issues? Will they supply tents?

• Is there an alternate location nearby that will be available if the weather is bad?

If you keep these tips in mind, you’ll soon be planning an outdoor wedding that will be stunning and unforgettable!
