As the pandemic continues, couples are still wanting to get married and to do so safely, many are leaning towards outdoor weddings. In fact, outdoor weddings are the most popular wedding trend of 2020! It may look a little different than expected, but your dream wedding can still happen and exceed your wildest expectations.
As your wedding experts, Versatile Event Designs is sharing some top tricks and inspiration for your big day outdoors.
1. Tents are key
If your wedding venue doesn’t already come equipped with an outdoor pavilion or similar event space, talk to your venue contact about renting a tent. A tent will protect guests from the summer sun and rain.
The same applies if you moved your wedding to your home. Party rental companies often send someone out to take a peek at the space to see what size and type of tent the space allows.
2. Avoid Wearing Heels
Women know that heels and grass just don’t mix! If your wedding will be on a non-paved surface, consider swapping your heels for wedges or flats. Sparkly sneakers are a comfy and fun option.
3. Rent Bathrooms
If you moved your wedding to your home and are keeping your guest list the same, we highly recommend renting a bathroom. A large amount of guests using the restroom can overwhelm the standard home. Companies have luxury bathrooms for rent to accommodate large guest lists that make it feel like you're in a hotel.
4. Scout Photo Locations
As seasoned photographers and videographers, we love natural lighting! Ask your venue if they have a spot for outdoor photos or a park nearby. If hosting at your home, consider where you’d like photos in your backyard or again, a nearby park is always a beautiful backdrop. Please note that some parks do require permits for photography so discuss with your planner in advance.
5. Set up a Beverage Station
In the summer months, a water and lemonade station for guests to enjoy prior to the ceremony is always appreciated. When it comes to fall weddings, hot cider or hot chocolate station is always welcomed if your date is supposed to be slightly chilly.
