Wedding
Planning: Outdoor Wedding Theme Tips
|
|
From mosquitoes to high heels here
are some key points to consider as you plan your outdoor wedding.
- For some brides, the impetus for
having an outdoor or home wedding is to cut the cost. Experts
suggest tallying up the cost of everything you need to rent (tent,
floor, tables, chairs, linens, restrooms, etc) before making a final
decision. You may find it more costly than renting a reception hall.
- Once you commit to an outdoor
local, start praying for a clear day. But in case of rain, be sure
to reserve an alternate venue and indicate it on the invitation.
Many professional wedding facilities have indoor contingency
options. If you are planning your wedding at a public park, experts
advise that your home will often work in case of inclement weather.
- Many outdoor facilities have rules
and regulations that govern their use. Check with local officials to
see if special permits are required for cooking fires, public
parking, etc. Also, be sure to find out in advance if you will be
able to serve food and alcohol there.
- Make sure you have enough
restrooms. This applies to home affairs as well as remote sites. In
many cases, this means that you'll have to rent portable latrines.
If you're having a tent wedding, designate at least two easily
accessible bathrooms. But remember, if scores of people are walking
across grass before entering the house, the route you arrange should
circumvent your mother's prized geraniums.
- Have adequate outdoor lighting. If
people can't see the face of the person they're talking to, they
tend to leave once it gets dark. Also have your photographer and
videographer visit the site in advance to test lighting before and
after dark.
- Have the disc jockey or band
leader visit the site beforehand to check out acoustics and make
adequate adjustments.
- Have a plan in place for handling
uninvited guests -- mosquitoes and bugs! Some experts suggest having
the site sprayed in advance when possible and having citronella
torches posted and ready to light as the sun goes down. You can also
provide cans of insect repellent in decorative baskets accessible to
guests. On hot, sunny days, a basket filled with bottles of
sunscreen would also be a good idea.
- Be sure to wear high heels to your
dress rehearsal. This will give you a chance to determine if the
ground is too soft for you to walk down the isle without tripping
because your heels sink into the ground.
- If you don't want your wedding
cake to melt or topple, stay away from mousse fillings, custard, or
whipped cream.
- Enclose maps with clear directions
to guests. Be sure to specify an alternative location for inclement
weather if necessary.
