the celebrant Weather is always a question when it comes to outdoor ceremonies. “Although you may have picked a wedding date because the weather is traditionally well behaved, sometimes things just don’t go to plan,” says Krista Webb from Celebrated Moments. She recommends organising a Plan B with your reception venue before the day, so it’s a simple decision the morning of if the rain clouds are rolling in. Creating a list of mobile numbers so you can get in touch with your guests and suppliers about any change in location is also a good idea. Sound quality during your exchange of vows is also important. Krista says it’s actually a legal requirement that both you and your guests can hear the ceremony. “That’s why you always see a celebrant with a microphone.” She also has a great tip for the perfect grand entrance. “Appropriate shoes are a must - a wedge or thick heels for grass locations, closed in shoes or barefoot for the beach and flats for those rocky outcrops. I’ve seen brides come unstuck whilst walking up a bamboo or cloth aisle in stilettos.” From the setting to sunlight and statement heels, enjoy a seamless start to your celebration with these simple tips!
