Planning an outdoor Wedding

2

Outdoor weddings can be extremely beautiful and are popular for times when the weather is generally nice. However, there is also a lot of planning that should be put into the process as well and many things to consider. If you are considering an outdoor wedding for your own wedding, it is a good idea to consider the following items through your planning process.

Make sure that your guests are comfortable

2

If you are having a wedding in the heat of summer, you may want to consider supplying some things that will make your guests more comfortable, especially those who are elderly. For example, you can hand out bottles of water to guests or supply them with hand held fans that will help cool them off. Sometimes renting a tent can also help keep them cool through the entire ceremony as well.

It may also be a good idea to plan an area that your guests can escape the heat. For example, if you are having your wedding outdoors, plan it near a building where guests can go inside if they become overheated. It may also be a good idea to have your reception indoors as well.

Have a Backup

1

Whenever you plan an outdoor wedding, you will need to make sure to take mother nature into account as well. There is always a chance that the weather will not play out how you had hoped and that you are unable to have the wedding outdoors. For this reason, you should make sure that you have a backup plan to help fight back against the last minute weather changes.

You should also plan for wind that may be bothersome during the wedding proceedings. Instead of choosing a wedding dress that is light and airy, you should consider heavier materials instead. It is also a good idea to choose hairstyles that will not be blown away either.

Benefits of an outdoor wedding

One of the best things about having your wedding outdoors is that you will be able to enjoy the natural decorations that the outdoors has to offer. This means that you will not have a need to spend as much money on decorations.

This is also a great way to save some money on the venue as well because it is likely that an outdoor wedding will not require as much of a deposit as one that is held indoors. However, this also means that it will be more difficult to set up and that you will probably be forced to set up chairs and decorate the morning of your wedding so that they do not become damaged overnight.

Conclusion

An outdoor wedding can be beautiful and exciting. Many are choosing outdoor weddings in today’s wedding industry and there are many ways that brides who choose this style can be accommodated. Just make sure that you put a lot of thought into the planning process for your wedding.

Contemporary Celebrations: A Guide to Crafting a Stylish and Modern Wedding!

1

If you are tired of the all the classic weddings that you have attended in the past and are looking for something a bit different for your own special day, you may want to consider throwing a modern wedding instead.

A modern wedding is a popular trend at the moment and it will be a great way to celebrate the time that you are currently living in. Getting rid of tradition can be something that can make the day a bit less stressful as well and you may be more comfortable throughout the wedding process. Below are some tips to get you started in the right direction.

Simplify the Wardrobe

23

No one said that you have to dress in a formal wedding gown with bridesmaids wearing matching dresses beside you. This is one of the easiest ways to create a modern look.

Start with the wedding gown and choose something that defies all traditions. Choose a piece that shows off your personality and unique style instead of the tradition you want to uphold. You may even want to dare to choose a dress that is not a traditional wedding color to really stand out.

When it comes to the bridesmaids, one fun trend that is currently sweeping the wedding industry is dressing each bridesmaid in a different dress but that stick with the color scheme of the wedding. This is a great option because no two women are created the same. While one dress style may work well with one woman, it will look horrible on another. By having separate dresses, you will know that all of your girls will feel beautiful.

Throw out Traditions

If you are looking to completely go against the norm, you should get rid of some of the traditions that are usually present at weddings. For example, if you do not feel that being married in a church is important, choose a different venue instead. If the weather will be nice, you can always choose to have a wedding that is outdoors.

Another tradition that may be a fun one to break is waiting until you walk down the aisle for the groom to see you. This makes for a fantastic photo opportunity and you can plan a ‘first look’ before the ceremony to make it even more special. Having this moment in a private setting will allow you to enjoy it even more.

Conclusion

You can do many things to have a modern wedding that defies tradition. These weddings are created with the bride and groom’s interests in mind and bring out a lot of the couple’s personality.

Keep in mind that you do not need to throw out all traditions in order to have a modern wedding. There are many that you can keep, but the point is to create a wedding that you love rather than one that is based upon tradition.

Fun at the Bridal Shower

Having a bridal shower is an important part of getting married. However, some of the portions of it can be rather boring. While it is fun to share the time with the bride, many guests may grow weary when they are watching the bride open her gifts. Since the gifts are usually household gifts, there really isn’t anything that the guests can do to become excited about these items.

However, there are some games that can be played during the gift opening ceremony that will make the process more fun and exciting. This is a great way to keep the guests excited and involved even when the shower takes a boring turn. Below you will find some special games that you can play as the bride is opening her gifts.

Bridal Bingo

1

When the bride is preparing to open her gifts, pass out bingo cards filled with common household goods instead of numbers. Then as the bride is opening her gifts, they will look to see if they have a match. The first person to get a bingo on their card will be declared the winner. This is a great game that will help keep guests involved with the process of opening up the gifts and will help them to enjoy the shower better.

Good Wishes

With this game, each guest will have a moment to give the bride some good wishes for her upcoming wedding and marriage. These wishes can be written down on a piece of paper that will be added to a special vase later on. As the bride is opening the gift that was brought by the guest, the guest will share with the group their wishes for the bride’s future. This is a fun way to enjoy a moment with the bride as she is opening up her gifts.

Wrapping Paper Décor

2

Another fun game that you can play while the bride is opening up her gifts involves creating a special décor item for her to enjoy. Using a large piece of poster board, each guest will take a portion of the wrapping paper or gift sack that they choose to present her gift in and attach it to the poster board. After the party is over, the bride can then have the board framed and will always have a reminder of her bridal shower at all times.

Conclusion

These games are all unique ways that you can make sure that the guests of a wedding shower are able to enjoy the time when the bride is opening her wedding gifts. Instead of having a fairly boring time during this part of the shower, guests will instead be able to enjoy the time and have some laughter to go along with the party as well. So, if you are looking for a way to make the gift opening section of the bridal shower more enjoyable, be sure to rely on some of these games.
