Planning for an outdoor wedding

When you begin planning for your wedding the first thing on the list to organise is the venue. This tends to be a church, registry office or hotel. A popular alternative to these indoor venues is to have an outdoor wedding. For the perfect outdoor wedding you need to plan carefully and put in some hard work to ensure your day goes perfectly.
The first step is to get the location right for the outdoor wedding. You need to consider the weather when planning your outdoor wedding. Choose a place outdoors where you can have a contingency plan should it rain. Try looking for a location that has great outdoor surroundings as well as an indoor environment. This way, should it rain then you know you can have your wedding indoors at the last minute. On the other side of the coin, you need to make sure that if it is a sunny day there is shelter to protect your guests from over exposure to the sun.
Another consideration when planning an outdoor wedding is sound. Will your guests be able to hear the speeches, Speak to a sound engineer who has experience with outdoor events. He will be able to offer the very best professional advice on how to make the best of an outdoor location, and give advice as to what can be put in place to ensure your guests hear the speeches and announcements.
Finally your outfit needs careful consideration. Look at the season you are getting married in and the location where you are getting married. Winter outdoor weddings are not ideal to wear sleeveless gowns, and a long traditional dress would not be suitable for a beach wedding
