Romantic? Yes.
Unpredictable? Also yes.
Here’s how to make the outdoors your ally (not your enemy).
🌿 DO: Think About Light, Not Just Location
- Golden hour ceremonies = magic.
- Midday sun = harsh shadows and squinting.
- Shade is your friend.
🌬️ DON’T: Underestimate the Wind
Windproof everything:
- Velcro tablecloth clips
- Styled but secure hair
-
Avoid super-light fabrics if the breeze is strong
☀️ DO: Prepare for Heat or Cold
- Provide fans, parasols, and blankets depending on the season.
- Choose breathable fabrics for your dress. Or a shawl if it gets cold
- Hydrate Queen! Have water on tap scattered around the venue.
💦 DON’T: Ignore the Backup Plan
- A rain plan is a sign of a smart bride.
- Clear tents are descreete and gorgeous to not ruin the vibe
-
When in weather doubt install a cute umbrella station fro your guests
🌸 DO: Think About Nature as Part of the Design
- Let flowers, vines, stone textures, and landscapes guide your palette.
- Earth tones always photograph beautifully outdoors.
-
Pops of color can be inspired by natural color pops around you.
🪲DON’T: Forget the Bugs
- Citronella but make it chic — candles, sprays, or essential-oil diffusers.
- Place some bug spray around the venue for guests to use.
