For many years, outdoor weddings have proved very popular, with lots of couples saying their vows on sun-drenched beaches or surrounded by blossoming botanical gardens. Mother Nature provides the perfect backdrop for pretty much any couple’s wedding day, so why not find an open-air venue and kick-start the wedding planning process? Hosting a flawless wedding requires preparation, patience and good old common sense. To ensure the day is as special for your guests as it is for you and your partner, incorporate the following tips into your hunt for a nature-enveloped wedding day scene.
Choose a Mild Month
Although you will want the weather to be pleasant for your special day, you won’t want it to be too hot. A mild month, such as April or September, will be just right for an Outdoor Weddings in Garfield Ridge because chances are the sun will have his hat on, but temperatures won’t be too toasty. Booking at a time of year when it is not as hot is also beneficial for your bank balance, because outdoor wedding venues tend to be higher in demand throughout summer, therefore prices will drop in the milder months.
Food, Drink and Entertainment Considerations
No wedding would be the same without a tempting spread of food, a variation of thirst-quenching beverages and of course, entertainment right through the day and night. A waterfront venue will be ideal if your menu is to include fresh fish. Don’t overplan it, but do find out what venues are available and whether or not your guests will be able to enjoy live music without feeling like they are disturbing other people who reside close-by. A venue set on the water will also be picture-perfect, so you can feel confident that your wedding snaps will come back great.
Appoint a Wedding Coordinator
A wedding coordinator can do a whole lot more than just find out what venues are available and get in contact with the right people. He or she will reduce the hard work on your behalf, allowing you to focus on the big day without stress shrouding your mind. Wedding coordinators will have experience in planning outdoor events, from knowing where to seat wedding reception guests to tracking down the most skilled outdoor photographer. Providing your guests with the contact number of a wedding coordinator will also prove useful should they have a question about the schedule.
