An outdoor wedding reception can be a picture perfect affair! With stunning backdrops all over the country from sunsets to sea it really is up to you. There are a few things to keep in mind to plan your perfect outdoor wedding reception.
1. Finding the perfect setting
There are so many beautiful venues across the UK that you could host your wedding. From castles to stately homes. This could be the venue of your dreams or maybe where you both first met. Don’t be afraid to book lots of viewings at different types of venues until you find the perfect one. Be sure to ask as many questions as you like and where it is possible for you to have your ceremony. For smaller affairs there is the option to have the reception at home with your nearest and dearest. Stretch tents can create a wonderfully unique canopy for your guests to dine under and dance the night away.
2. Consider the weather
The British weather is less than reliable. Spring/ Summer time is the perfect opportunity for an outdoor wedding. Stretch tents provide the perfect cover for weddings, providing shelter from rain or shade from the sun. Stretch tents can be erected in a variety of different configurations to protect from any weather conditions.
3. Think about your theme
Once you’ve found the perfect venue, its time to think about your theme. Embrace your surroundings and draw inspiration from where you are. Natural and rustic are perfect for an outdoor wedding. Tree back drops, flowers and foliage for the aisle there are any number of colour combinations to match any theme. You could get really creative with your seating plan and food choices to reflect a more rustic informal atmosphere.
