Walking down the long aisle under the blessing of all the relatives and friends is normally what girls dream of on their big day. And that is right what most couples do on their wedding ceremony. While there are couples do want some novelty out of the box: an outdoor wedding. Outdoor weddings can be inventive and refreshing, especially taking vows in a magnificent garden setting. However, spectacular as it may be, there are more issues other than that you have to deal with. Outdoor weddings instead of traditional church weddings are not the common choice. If you really want an outdoor garden wedding, you will have a lot of homework to do before making your decisions.

Advantages:

  • Outdoor weddings cost less than church weddings in most couples’ case. You can take your time and ponder deeply about the venue as well as carefully plan your reception at length.
  • Outdoor weddings offer you more theme options as beach, garden, castle, camp, yacht and so on.
  • Beautiful settings with access to all kinds of adorable DIY ideas.
  • Perfectly suitable for you to create as much frame worth photos as you like.
  • Great chance for you and your friends to get close to nature.

Disadvantage:

  • Arrange enough chairs for your ceremony where guests are to sit and make sure they are comfortable in that.
  • An experienced wedding MC should be sent on time.
  • You will have to pick a caterer carefully to make sure everyone enjoy their time here. Bartenders have to be hired as well.
  • You have to deal with the flowers as well to make the outdoor settings more cozy and wedding like. Do make sure that the flowers you have chosen will hold up from the beginning of your ceremony to the very end of the reception. Because some flowers are delicate, and an outdoor wedding largely depends on sweet and lovable flowers.
  • Projecting an outdoor wedding, you must always have a backup plan in case it should rain or there is other bad weather as storm or fierce wind.
  • Try not to have your outdoor wedding settings in a family neighborhood. Otherwise, you have to consider the noise level from the band or DJ. Believe me, you don’t want to inconvenient your guests to move when a police show up that you have gotten tons of complaining neighbors.
  • An outdoor wedding makes it much more difficult for your fabulous wedding dress to stay snow-white. And it’s perhaps more costly to have the stains removed. So get yourself prepared for that.
  • Take heels into consideration that grassland can be soft. Come up with some measures to avoid sinking into the land for you, your bridesmaid and your respected guests.
  • Parking is another consideration. Most outdoor wedding venues have no access for parking especially close to the wedding settings.
  • Make sure you have insect repellent lotion or similar things provided in case there are stings of bugs.
