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!
