How to Plan an Outdoor Wedding

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Becky Sosa with Stress Free Events dot net and I'd like to talk to you about planning your outdoor wedding. Planning an outdoor wedding you need to take several considerations. The biggest is weather. Whatever month you plan on your wedding make sure the weather is going to be tolerable for guests to be sitting out there for thirty to forty five minutes which is the average length of most weddings. If it's going to be too hot you are going to want to make sure that you provide water for your guests as well as possibly fans or something else that will help them stay cool while they are waiting for the ceremony. They are not going to remember your wedding if all they remember is being hot. Also on planning your outdoor wedding you want to make sure that your decorations are going to stay put. You are dealing with wind in a lot of cases and if you have candles lit you are going to want to make sure that each one is covered by a hurricane that's going to keep the wind from blowing them out and that your floral arrangements are weighted down with rocks or sand or something so that they won't blow over. Make sure that any loose ribbons or tulle also are not going to blow into any of your candle flames that could cause a disaster that might end up getting you on America's funniest home videos. Make sure you enjoy your day, but consider the weather. Also always have a plan B when you are planning an outdoor wedding. Just in case it starts to rain, even though it may seem lucky on your wedding day, you don't want to get wet."
