If you’re looking to use candles in your wedding décor, consider LED candles or ensure they’re suitably contained… candles are notoriously difficult to keep alight outside when you need to contend with the breeze. Similarly scattered petals my have a similar problem, if the wind picks up, so consider your décor wisely for your outdoor elements.

Although you may not need a too much additional décor to create your Wedding style, choose your Wedding décor to complement your surroundings- flower arches work well with a natural backdrop and can add some beautiful scents to your ceremony, whilst trees can add a focul point, creating a stunning backdrop for your day. Consider embracing the location and the season, by using locally sourced and seasonal flowers for your floral displays to complete your Wedding theme, style & décor.
Should the evening turn chilly, your guests will be grateful for another layer to keep them warm and let them continue enjoying your day.
Consider lighting for both your covered and outdoor spaces, to create the perfect atmosphere for your outdoor wedding. Use them too, to guide your guests between venue spaces, bathrooms and the car park.
Do consider the season when planning your outside Wedding- fully outdoor Weddings should be reserved for the Summer months, however if you choose an outdoor wedding at other times of the year, think about marquee and tipi options to feel closer to nature- and have plenty of heating available!
Embrace informality- the very idea of an outdoor wedding is a break from “tradition”, so why not embrace it to it’s full extent?! Celebrate the different, explore the unusual and create a wedding that’s truly unique to you. Don’t try to fit with wedding traditions and convention- the joy of an outdoor wedding is that you can make it exactly what you want it to be, so enjoy it and celebrate your way.
Arrnaging some comfy chairs under the shade of a tree will give your guests somewhere to relax, cool off and rest their feet.
Have you thought about adding decoration to the natural surroundings. Make your surroundings part of your wedding décor by hanging chandeliers and lanterns from trees to pull together all of the elements of your décor- natural and manmade!
For a countryside wedding consider using a neutral palette, which will help your surroundings shine and complement the natural beauty surrounding you. For a city wedding, consider tall table centres, to guide the eye upwards, to the spectacular view of skyscrapers surrounding you. With summertime outdoor weddings, pretty much anything goes- just consider what’s around you, and use that to your advantage.
Use your natural décor and centre your ceremony around a natural focal point- whether it’s a tree, a lake or a stunning view, let nature create your dramatic backdrop and make the most of having an outdoor wedding.
Mix and match furniture, writing desks and vintage armchairs, can all work together to create a relaxed, eclectic décor for your outdoor wedding. Take it a step further, and use vintage crockery and glassware, for a charming & pretty addition to your event.
