Outside Wedding Decor Tips
Think of the ideal vision of your outside wedding. The weather is perfect. Birds are chirping in the background. No clouds can be seen in the sky. Romantic lighting all around. The decorations are beautiful. No one gets soaked from the rain. Decorations are staying in place despite the occasional blowing of the wind. Mother Nature doesnt interfere with your day. Here are few outdoor wedding decor tips for creating a beautiful and trouble free wedding day.
Rain happens. Even during weddings. Plan ahead. Provide an alternate shelter for yourself and your guests. Rent a wedding canopy from a local wedding supply rental store. They usually have several sizes to choose from. These companies will set the canopy up for you and then come back later to remove the canopy.
Wind is the biggest nuisance for outdoor weddings. You can protect your wedding from direct wind gusts, by taking a few precautions. If you are having a beach wedding, set up your wedding in a cozy cove to prevent the wind from wreaking havoc on your day. Other outdoor weddings can be set up near a line of trees for protection. Doing so will keep the wind from destroying your wedding decor and tossing it about.
Many couples choose to have an outdoor wedding because they love nature. Others choose to have outdoor weddings as an alternative to the traditional church wedding. It doesnt matter the reason behind your choice. Keep it simple. Let the outdoors speak for itself. Let your guests feel the nature in your outdoor wedding. This cuts down on the cost of expensive decorations and allows you to enjoy your chosen location, whether it is a beautiful garden, a beach setting, or your own yard.
Adding a garden arch to a wedding gives a whimsical feeling to the whole wedding. Most craft or garden stores sell standard or elaborate garden arches in every shape and size. You could find a company in your area that rents wedding arches instead of buying one. Decorate your arch with different colors of flowers, tulle, and fabric.
Use chair covers to add a stylish look to your outdoor wedding decor. The overall blend of your theme will be helped by adding chair covers to your decor. Folding chairs are not glamorous to look at and can take away from your overall wedding theme. You can make chair covers yourself or buy them for your special occasion.
Lighting for an evening wedding is important. Your guests must be able to see you and each other during the ceremony and the reception. Incorporating candles in your centerpieces add a hint of romantic lighting. Light up walkways with tiki torch lanterns or custom decorated paper sack lanterns. These can be fun to design and add a great source of walk way light.
Many brides are choosing weddings that are eco-friendly. If this is important to you try using solar lighting in your wedding decor. Solar lights are cordless so this also helps with the safety of your guests, while being friendly to the earth.
