Outdoor Wedding Ideas



You love nature and you like the outdoors. Here are great outdoor wedding ideas to help you get creative in planning your special event.

Outdoor Wedding Ideas #1: Location

Wedding locations that you choose to exchange your vows makes a statement about you as a couple. Great ideas for locations can be in a gazebo located in a botanical garden, beside a lake, on a beach, in the park or even your own backyard.

When the sand from these vases is combined it is never to be separated again, just like the two of you. This sand ceremony is a nice alternative to a unity candle, especially when the wedding is outdoors. The set includes a 10" tall center vase and three 6.75" tall accessory vases. The third vase is meant to be used by your officiant to begin the ceremony, or to include a child or parent. Additional small vases are available too. The center vase is engraved with "Two Shall Become One" in a beautiful script font. Sand is available separately.


Outdoor Wedding Ideas #2: Decorations

The beauty of nature is the main draw for outdoor weddings. For this reason, the most important thing to remember is to keep it simple. Mother Nature already has decorated it for you. Just accessorize. For the altar, having a wedding arch, a trellis or an arbor is a great idea. Decorate it either with silk flowers or real ones. Place one big potted plant with assorted flowers on each side for added effect. For the general location, place white lights on trees and shrubs - this would look classy and elegant when the sun goes down.

Outdoor Wedding Ideas #3: Ceremony

What are the essential things that you need to consider when planning your outdoor wedding ceremony? First of all, you have to find an officiant that is willing to perform the wedding outdoors. Clergies from certain religious affiliations do not officiate outdoor wedding ceremonies.

The next thing to consider is how to make your outdoor wedding ceremony memorable. How to do this? Incorporate wedding traditions that are significant for you both. You could make your own wedding vows, and select a wedding reading that holds a sentimental value for you and your fiance(e).

The kind of music that you select personalizes your ceremony and underscores the romance of the event. Hiring musicians for this purpose makes your ceremony more memorable for you both.

Outdoor Wedding Ideas #4: Reception

One option for a wedding reception would be to have an INDOOR wedding reception as opposed to an outdoor one. If this is not a consideration, then having a nice, big, sturdy tent for the occasion is a must. You don't want to chance it with the weather being so unpredictable. Providing a tent also makes it comfortable for the guests. For more in-depth information, read what to consider when planning an outdoor wedding.

Planning for an outdoor wedding is exciting but it can also get overwhelming. Make a wedding planning list, check your wedding planning timeline. Stay focused and on track. Most of all, enjoy it - it is fun!
