Garden wedding: what to consider
for an outdoor event

A ceremony among the linden trees, at sunset, is hard to beat. But an outdoor event takes a little foresight. Here is what to consider.

Always have a plan B

The weather can't be ordered. A good venue has a covered space where you move the ceremony or party in minutes, if it starts to rain.

Shade, light and heat

Think about the time of day: at noon, in full sun, guests tire. The shade of the linden trees and the evening light make the difference for comfort and for photos.

The most beautiful outdoor setting is the one where guests feel good, not just the one that looks good.

Sound and comfort

Outdoors, sound scatters, and summer evenings can be cool. A proper sound system and a few blankets on hand keep the atmosphere warm until late.
