Who says your wedding has to be indoors?

A lot more planning is involved when putting together an outdoor wedding ceremony & reception (rentals–chairs, tables, linens, tableware, stemware, cutlery; catering, floral & decorations, electricity, wiring, dance floor?, DJ & speakers, washrooms, WEATHER, …. and the list goes on) – but that’s why you hired your wedding planner… right? [*hint, hint*] Having an outdoor ceremony provides another alternative for those who want an intimate, non-denominational ceremony. But be aware – outdoor ceremonies are not for the penny-pincher or couples on a budget. Rentals and catering can have your budget starting at $50,000 and up!
Enjoy the atmosphere and the natural beauty around you! Keep in mind the SEASON (Spring/Summer/Fall) and what you will need to keep your guests comfortable – sunscreen, bug repellant, fans, umbrellas for shade, cold/hot drinks, accessible facilities… also, make sure to have a PLAN B in case the weather doesn’t cooperate!
Add tealight candles to create an atmosphere of romance!! Don’t forget to twist some fairy lights around the trees.
