Ten Tips for the Perfect Outdoor Wedding

Ten Tips for the Perfect Outdoer KJedding Getting hitched in the great outdoors? Let Twin Oaks Golf Course help you make your outdoor celebration run as smoothly as possible with these 10 tips for a truly magical wedding day. 1. Provide pillows if you're using uncomfortable outdoor seats. wwww Many outdoor seats are wrought iron or wood, which can get uncomfortable. Pillows can give your wedding aesthetic a boost with textures, colors, and patterns. Bonus 2. Provide your bridesmaids cement blocks or decorative stones to stand on. High heels sink into grass and soil, so a standing base is both functional and decorative. 3. Keep guests hydrated. Outdoor weddings usually take place in warmer weather, so be sure to provide plenty of water and other beverages for guests to cool off. 4. Give sunglasses out as wedding favors. If you expect a sunny day, provide inexpensive sunglasses with a peřsonălized message printed on each one that guests can take home. 5. Print your wedding program on a fan. This allows guests to always have an agenda on hand and stay cool through the heat. 6. Have sunscreen available in decorative dispensers or spray bottles. Only the love in your heart should burn-not your guests! 7. Provide blankets/wraps if it's going to be cold or breezy. If you expect chilly weather, offer blankets or wraps to guests during the ceremony. Embroider a customized patch onto each blanket for an added touch. 8. Use Aowers and lights to create a simple but gorgeous makeshift aisle. This is a great way to add elegant touches to your special day and also savé money. 9. Have a backup plan. The ideal outdoor wedding location has an indoor location, like a clubhouse, waiting just in case of weather complications. Many brides and grooms opt to have their ceremony outside and reception inside as well. 10. Don't forget about microphones! Depending on how many guests attend, it's always a good idea to have microphones set up at the altar so everyone can hear the big “I do."
