Choosing Your Outdoor Venue
Being a lover of nature is a good asset for all brides with a desire to have an outdoor wedding, however it is not necessary to be a nature lover to have an outdoor wedding. It is a MUST to know and familiarize yourself with your venue. Always tour your venue whether you are a DIY (do it yourself) bride or have a wedding planner or even better a wedding planner specializing in outdoor weddings. www.juanitasenchantment.com
We know flowers have their seasons, in choosing your flowers be certain the color and that particular flower will enhance the beauty of the landscaping. Have you ever driven by a home with a beautiful landscaping, but the flowers should be in the neighbor's yard? The match just was not to be and actually toned the landscaping.
It is necessary to communicate with the venue manger regarding the frequency of upkeep of the grounds. Upkeep is the frequency of mowing, hedging, pruning, treatment of the lawn for ants and bugs. If your ceremony will be late evening ask what type of bug zappers are used for mosquitoes you do not want a loud zapper, or a fluorescent light that is blinding. Also find out what time the sprinkler system is programmed, you do not want a wet wedding. If you notice any ducks, as they are beautiful and fun at the pond, lake, but not at a ceremony; make certain they are in a restricted area for your ceremonial event.
Be kind and inform your guests your wedding ceremony will be an outdoor celebration; this will allow your guests to dress appropriately in attire and shoes.
