Outdoor Weddings

Exchanging vows under a starry night or sunny sky is very romantic. It's a private and personal event where you want it to be very memorable for the lifetime. But always be prepared for the unexpected "surprise".

Here are the lists to take note:

WEDDING DATE
- Choose your wedding date carefully to avoid rainy or monsoon season.
- Check if the weather will be wet or humid.

LOCATION
- Check out the location and the surroundings.
* Prone to bad weather?
* Any major intersections nearby?
* Any construction going around?
* Any infestation of mosquitoes or insects?
* Any alternative in case of bad weather?

HIDDEN COSTS
- Be sure to check for hidden costs such as use-permit fees for public areas especially the parks.

TRANSPORTATION
- Hire a valet service to assist with parking and transportation, especially if the area has limited parking slots nearby.
- Hire a shuttle bus to help transport guests from distant parking areas.

VENDORS / CATERERS
- Source for vendor who is experience with outdoor receptions.
- Discuss with your vendors and caterers for any back-up or contingencies in case of bad weather.
- Also find out the challenges or extra expenses that might incur.

ADVANCE BOOKING
- Scout for several locations as some places can be booked way up in advance.

RESTRICTIONS
- Find out if there are any noise restrictions in the area. Nothing’s worse than having the neighbors to call the police to break up your reception.
- Use of the swimming pool, check out the time restrictions.

THEME
- Consider the time of day you’re holding your reception.
- Does the venue reflect your overall theme?
- Example:
* Garden theme is suitable for the day time celebration.
* Romantic theme is perfect for night celebration.
* A beach party may be appropriate for the day time.

LIGHTING
- With outdoor parties, you can choose various types of lighting to enhance the atmosphere.
* Go for bright and soft with natural daylight in daytime.
* For evening parties, string fairy lights between trees, hang Chinese lanterns on the branches or scatter candles around the area.

COSY SETTING
- Make your wedding site as homey and beautiful as possible
- Also ensure there are lots of chairs, linens, electric generators, cooling areas, toilets and even portable dance floors for your guests.

VENUE LAYOUT
- Plan a central area for guests to gather during the cake-cutting, dancing and bouquet-tossing.

BUDGET LIMITATION
- Calculate the cost of an outdoor site and the size of the venue.
- Unlike a ballroom wedding, for an outdoor site, the cost incurs can be for the venue rental, decoration set-ups, florist, furniture, marquee, toilet arrangement, hire caterer, etc.
- Set the food budget limits for the number of your invited guests.

DECORATION
- There are endless ways to decorate an outdoor party.
* Tie helium balloons to chairs or strew flowers all over the floor.
* Line the candles or rose petals along the aisle.
* For breezy area, play around with ribbons and windmills that will twirl prettily as the wind blows.
* Make use of the existing surroundings — such as a sandy beach, the trees, the wind or a swimming pool — to create a unique celebration.

INVITATION
- Always remember to state the alternative location in case of bad weather.
