Hands down, an outdoor wedding is amazing way to spend your big day if it’s in summer. If you\u2019re lucky enough to live in a great climate or you\u2019re having a destination wedding, there are so many aspects to consider. Here are some tips for an outdoor wedding!<\/p>\n
Make sure that you have a suitable alternative, even if you\u2019re positive that the weather is going to be perfect. Because we can\u2019t control the weather, there is always a reason to have a good back up. An indoor shelter, umbrellas, heaters should be back up options that are waiting and ready to be used if needed.<\/p>\n
Having food that won\u2019t spoil easily is essential. Avoid food with dairy products or fresh cream cakes \u2013 basically anything that will spoil easily or could cause food poisoning.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re sure the day will be scorching, chair covers are very important. Sitting on a roasting hot seat can be hugely uncomfortable on a summer\u2019s day \u2013 using light chair covers will avoid this.<\/p>\n
A hot day will definitely require some SPF! Not all of your guests may think to bring sun protection, so why not offer travel-sized bottles to guests? Bug spray sprayed at your ankles and wrists will also be very important if your reception will be near woodlands.<\/p>\n
For your bridal party (and of course yourself), consider how the attire will fair up throughout the day. Light cotton clothing is the best option and avoiding full length if possible. Remember to provide your bridesmaids and flower girls with light shawls just in case the weather is a little chilly.<\/p>\n
Combining a hot day with alcohol can be a dangerous mix for dehydration. Make sure there is plenty of cool water available to your guests throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Now all you need is the amazing sunshine!<\/p>\n
