Making the Best of Outdoor Theme Weddings
Outdoor theme weddings are perfect during the warm summer
months. Couples are able to symbolize their love and devotion to
each other in a place other than a church. Great locations for
outdoor weddings include beaches, hillsides, parks, and even
backyards. Smaller ceremonies are perfect for these locations.

Although beautiful, there are factors that the couple should
consider when planning outdoor theme weddings. The most obvious
factor is the weather. Many who dreamed of an outdoor wedding, but
opt to have it indoors. This is mainly to avoid any mishaps like
rain and other inclement weather.
While reading a bridal magazine I saw a comment from a bride who
admitted that she made herself physically ill from over-obsessing
about the weather. Her outdoor theme wedding was in jeopardy because
of a hurricane headed in her direction. Sadly, this bride did not
have a back-up plan.
A back-up plan is essential when planning an outdoor wedding. The
weather is unpredictable. A lot of sweat and tears go into planning
a wedding. It would be a shame to cancel the event due to weather.
In situations like this everyone is inconvenienced. Family and
friends sacrificed time and money to travel. The newlyweds may have
made honeymoon plans that cannot be changed.
Outdoor theme weddings are less expensive than renting a facility.
However it is imperative that a secondary location is selected. This
location could be inside someone’s home or a community clubhouse.
Worst case scenario, reserve a section of a nice restaurant. When a
secondary location is not available, couples can use large tents.
Tents will keep guests dry, but they will not protect against wind.
Those planning an outdoor theme wedding may consider scheduling it
in the evening. Most outdoor weddings occur in the summer. Early
afternoon weddings may not be ideal because guests will be exposed
to the hot sun for several hours.
If an evening wedding is not an option, tents may be used to shield
the sun. Water and cold beverages should also be available. Large
electric fans are great for cooling a crowd. Early afternoon
weddings that occur along the shore may not be burdensome. The wind
from the water will provide a cool breeze. Guests should be told in
advance that the wedding will be outdoors. This allows them to dress
accordingly.
Outdoor theme weddings are subjected to noise and insects. It may be
ideal for the couple to speak through a microphone when saying their
vows. Sounds from passing cars, sirens, dogs barking, and the wind
can make it difficult for guest to hear. Instead of using a corded
microphone it may be easier for the couple to use a small microphone
that discretely attaches to their attire.
During the summer months bugs are on the rampage. To prevent guests
from getting attacked by mosquitoes, the grounds should be properly
treated for insects. The guest should be able to sit comfortably
without having to continually shoo away flies.
