Here are some simple things to
think about when choosing your wedding location and whether or not those lapping
waves could be a blissful romantic soul soother or a nightmare in the making.
First, think about choosing the
site of your ceremony. The beauty of the ocean or a river path needs little
embellishment. When planning an outdoor wedding, let the location speak for it's
self. And remember that Mother Nature speaks loudly so make sure an outdoor
wedding is exactly what you want by using these questions in your
decision-making lists.
THE PLACE:
* Is the place you are looking at free of other events on the date you want?
* Are all permits and papers
easy to access, do you need special permissions for large parties?
* Will the space where the
chairs will be placed in loose sinking sand or is the beach full of storm
debris?
* Do you have a long flowing
gown in mind? Would a church floor be better then a lawn, for the dry-cleaning
bill afterward?
* Does my area have storms in
the month I want my wedding? If so, should I have the ceremony inside or rent a
tent?
* Does both families agree on
style like casual, religious or traditional wedding?
* If you have a particularly
long ceremony think about if you want guests to be prepared to wait to use the
restroom (if on a beach, or be prepared to rent extra facilities.
Once you have an idea of the
area you want your wedding to be performed in you can add the type of building
you want it to be in, by using this list of things to think about.
TYPE OF TENT OR BUILDING:
* Will it be a frame tent or a tent with center poles and ropes on the outside
to secure it? Will the area hold tent stakes?
* Should you rent a church or
community center because a large portion of your family are elderly and cannot
walk well on sand or winding paths?
* Does your local park have the
perfect place like a gazebo or arbor free of charge to local residents?
* Open air means wind, bugs,
and birds.
You now have some basic ideas
about the place of your special ceremony and type of building, tent or open area
you may enjoy. You might want to think about how large a wedding party that
space can hold.
HOW MUCH SPACE YOU NEED:
* The number of people attending the wedding determines size of your area.
* Style of wedding. Will it be
a formal or casual style?
* Size of the band or do you
have a recording for processional music?
* Size and shape of chairs or
bench for setting guests and number of aisles required. You might have a
difficult time hauling a tent or canopy with aisle runner, kneeling benches,
candelabras, a wedding arch and other accessories to a small-secluded beach or
riverside. If this were a concern for you it would be better to hire a
professional rental company that can help you coordinate all the extra details
that must be imported for an outdoor event.
An outdoor wedding can be the
most wondrous of occasions and hold a place in your heart and memory forever.
With a little forethought and planning your day can go off without any hitches
and I hope these hints about what to think about when planning your event helps
you on the way.
My last suggestion would be to
talk to your local wedding specialists before jumping in feet first. Good Luck
and congratulations on your up coming wedding and God Bless.
