Outdoor weddings come with many advantages. You get to enjoy the bright blue skies, the natural beauty, and romantic breezes. At least this is how you are going to envision it, though sometimes things won’t go as you plan them. Still, there are things you can do to help ensure that your day goes off without a hitch.
Weather
Outdoor weddings in Bolingbrook are unpredictable when it comes to the weather. When you decide on an outdoor wedding, it is a good idea to have a tent set up to offer your guests shade, and protection from the rain is always a good idea. The last thing you want to deal with is your guests getting too warm or ending up soaking wet from the rain. Create a backup wedding plan that you can put into place if the forecast shows rain on the day of your wedding.
Power
While the scenery comes naturally, when the sun goes down you are going to be left in the dark. When planning outdoor weddings or receptions, you need to consider how you are going to power the DJ’s sound system, the lights, and any kitchen appliances your caterer might need.
Seating
If you are going to have a ceremony that is longer than ten minutes, it is a good idea to have seats for your guests, so they aren’t standing and craning their necks trying to see what is happening. Even if you are having a short ceremony, you should have some chairs available for those who need to sit.
A final consideration to make is how people are going to get from one area of your wedding to the next. Many people are going to take the shortest path, but that might not always be the best for the set-up that outdoor weddings require. Consider designating a wide route that is easy to walk on by putting down stepping stones, or by using carpet to mark the paths.
