Imagine having the perfect outside wedding. The temperature is perfect. The birds are singing. Theres not a cloud in the sky. The lighting is romantic. The decor is beautiful. No one is getting soaking wet from rain. Your decorations are not blowing away. Nature is not taking over. Heres some tips for your outside wedding decor.

Always plan for rain. Even if you are sure that bad weather is out of the forecast, planning ahead can keep you and your guests from getting drenched. Providing an alternate shelter such as a wedding tent can save you from Mother Natures temperamental wrath. Contact your local party rental company. Many of these companies have tents or wedding canopies for rental. In most cases they will come before the wedding and set it up. After the wedding is over the companies will usually pack it up for you.

Having an outside wedding can be difficult especially on a windy day. Find a spot that is protected by a line of trees or in some way protected from wind gusts. If you are having a beach wedding, find a romantic cove to protect your wedding decor. This will protect you and the cove will give a romantic and more personal feel for you and your guests.

Outdoor weddings are usually chosen by people that enjoy nature and want it to be a part of their important day. Whether its your own yard, a beautiful beach, or a famous garden keep your decorations simple. Use materials that are found in a natural setting. Lots of flowers. If your wedding is in the evening use candle centerpieces to add a simple yet natural feeling to your wedding.

Using natural materials for your outdoor wedding centerpieces is a great way to add style to your tables. A simple pickling jar with sand and a candle can make for a romantic and outdoorsy table setting. Edible centerpieces for weddings are very popular. Fill a vase with various fruits or vegetables that match your wedding colors. Keep it simple, stylish, and natural looking.

Having chair covers is a great way to add some style and beauty to your big day. Chair covers help the overall blend of your wedding theme. They keep the not so glamorous look of folding chairs from messing up the overall eye appeal of your big day. They can be custom made or bought. Simple or elaborate.

A wedding that takes place in the evening will need lots of light. For beach weddings use lanterns or staked candles for theme related light. Garden weddings look best when lit up with Christmas type lights. Wrap these lights around tree trunks or hang from trees closest to wedding location. Paper lantern lights are a very popular choice for outside wedding decorations.

If you are an eco-friendly bride you should incorporate this in your wedding decor. Using solar powered lighting is a great way to showcase your love for protecting Mother Earth. These lights also have the added bonus of saving money and being cordless.
