You need to pay attention to a lot of things if you are considering an outdoor wedding ceremony. Weather, budget, season, are some of the aspects that require special attention. There are a lot more aspects that you should consider for a successful and unforgettable outdoor wedding. If you are a bride looking to plan an outdoor wedding, here’s a checklist you should keep in mind. 

1. Check the weather and season

Season and weather play a crucial role in outdoor weddings, and you must pay special attention to them. If there are chances of rain, you will need to have special arrangements. In summers, it will be better to host a night wedding than a day event. It will be too hot and sunny, and you will have to arrange sheds for the guests. On the other hand, a day event or wedding will be better in the chilly season or winters. 

2. Pick your venue carefully

Check the venue properly and see if all the basic facilities are available. There can be bugs, mosquitoes, and other insects at the outdoor location. Therefore, you have to be very careful of the location and the venue. 

3. Double-check all the licenses

You may need a number of licenses and permissions to host an outdoor event. Unlike halls, hotels, resorts, you will need special permissions for music, fire hazard, alcohol, and other things. Make sure that you have all the required licenses set in place for the venue. If the location is a part of any hotel or club, then you may not have to worry about these permissions. 

4. Use the location to the max

An outdoor location provides you ample opportunities to play with the decor. If there’s a lot of space available, use it wisely. You can even add a few fun games or create quirky photo booths and backdrops. You can use different decor elements to create that vibe and feel. For instance, if you are having a beach wedding, you can have a stunning wedding with sunset pheras. Similarly, you should consider these aspects and see how you can utilize the location properly. 

5. Kind of Outdoor wedding

Have a small wedding favour for your guests considering the location and season. If it is a summer wedding, you can get a few summer hand fans, and for winters you can get a few shawls. Similarly, if you are planning a beach wedding, you can consider having beach slippers for the guests. These small gestures will make them feel more special and make your wedding more memorable.
