When the most important day in their lives approaches, newlyweds begin to think more and more about ways to celebrate it. To make it memorable for a long time, you need to come up with something original and interesting. But which option should you choose? One of them is an outdoor wedding.
There are several options for an outdoor celebration. Which one to choose should take into account the preferences, wishes and financial capabilities of the young couple. Be sure to try to make a decision collectively. The final choice is based on the advantages and disadvantages of such an event.
Advantages and disadvantages of an outdoor wedding
An outdoor wedding is a great option for a celebration. Organizing an open-air banquet has several positive qualities in the form of:
- fresh air;
- presence of a vast territory;
- no restrictions on the celebration;
- exit registration;
- launching doves, fireworks, balloons;
- holding a themed holiday;
- a huge selection of venues for events.
But, despite the presence of so many advantages, a holiday in nature is characterized by some disadvantages. First of all, this includes weather conditions. Each season is characterized by its own anomalous phenomena. It could rain or snow, there could be strong winds, or unbearable heat. This can significantly spoil the holiday.
Another disadvantage is the presence of insects. Mosquitoes, flies, flies and bees get in the way, climb onto food, and bite guests.
It is not always possible to organize a festive table with ease. And not all guests will agree to go to nature on their own. But if you immediately take into account all the advantages and disadvantages, you can avoid the development of troubles.
Outdoor wedding: ideas and recommendations
Many couples, on the eve of a wedding in the warm season, think: maybe they can have a wedding in the open air? Wedding in nature - fairy tale or reality?
Let's imagine... Only the closest people are nearby. Everyone sits at one big table, laughs, sings songs and drinks wine. Cheerful dancing until you drop in the open air. During the day the sun shines... and in the evening, when it gets dark, candles and many small light bulbs are lit. Is this your ideal wedding?
Wedding in nature. Where to begin?
We choose a suitable place.
There are many options for an outdoor wedding:
- parks;
- clearing in the forest;
- veranda in a country house;
- recreation center;
- restaurants with parking area.
To help narrow down your search criteria, let's get straight to the important and least predictable thing - the weather. Try to choose a place where, if something happens, the banquet can be moved indoors.
If your choice falls on a forest clearing, take care of a canopy or rent a tent. It’s far from a fact that all this will be useful to you, but it’s better to play it safe and be calm.
When choosing a territory, make sure that there is enough space for everything and everyone. Place for the registration ceremony (arch and chairs/benches for guests); place for a banquet (table for the newlyweds and tables for guests, taking into account free movement between them); a large dance floor so that guests do not have to jostle; places for bars and sweet tables. If there are a lot of children at your wedding, you can make a separate mini-game area.
Catering company.
If your holiday is not near a restaurant or any other place that can provide menus, cooks, waiters, etc., you need to worry about this yourself. The responsibilities of a catering company most often include: cooks, bartenders, waiters, dishes, tablecloths, table service, kitchen and menu, table, chairs, napkins. Often newlyweds rent tables and chairs separately; be sure to inform them about this when concluding an agreement with the company.
Registration ceremony.
An outdoor wedding is good because you can have registration, a photo shoot and a banquet there. An outdoor registration ceremony is a very romantic, memorable and touching event.
What is needed for on-site marriage registration. Let's go through each point briefly.
Firstly, you should know that in Russia almost nowhere is it allowed to remove the marriage registration book from registry offices and wedding palaces. Therefore, you will have to register your marriage either before or after the wedding. Or maybe on the wedding day, just earlier than other events. Secondly, we will need a host who will “register” your marriage. A beautiful arch, chairs or benches for guests, a romantic melody (ideally live music).
Transport.
Be sure to worry about how your guests will get to the holiday location. Under no circumstances should this be left to chance. In addition to the wedding procession, rent a bus, taking into account all your guests and +10. Also consider parking to prevent guests from driving in circles looking for space.
Convenience and comfort.
If your outdoor wedding takes place far from the city, where there is no civilization, then you will have to think through a few more nuances. Firstly, the toilet. Take care of this in advance, almost all cities have cabin rentals, but this pleasure is not cheap.
Secondly, electricity. You will need to connect the speaker system, lights, etc. For example, generators and a car voltage converter will help here. But this issue will most likely be taken up by the groom.
Thirdly, if your ceremony takes place far from the city, uninvited guests will await you. Think in advance about how you will deal with midges and mosquitoes. Here, of course, all kinds of insect repellent sprays will help.
Also take care of cooling drinks; outdoors there is unlikely to be air conditioning, and after dancing and games, guests will definitely want to cool down with soft drinks. For example, bring along several portable coolers filled with ice and have servers add it to drinks before serving (unless the catering company provides it).
Be sure to take care of the dance floor. If there is earth and grass under your feet, then you definitely need to lay something on the area where the dancing will take place.
Weather.
We already wrote about rain earlier, but what is more likely is wind. Even a light breeze can blow napkins and cards off the tables. A strong one can even drop flower arrangements. Take care of weights in advance. Stones and metal materials will help you with this.
Outdoor wedding: decor.
Of course, nature itself has already done everything. An outdoor wedding will be beautiful even without additional decorations, but this does not mean that they will be unnecessary. The decor will help create the “same” wedding atmosphere.
The decoration, first of all, depends on the style of your wedding. If it’s rustic, then use more wood, greenery and everything natural.
If you have a classic wedding, then you need chic white tablecloths, a lot of lace and tulle.
You will need to stock up on a large number of light bulbs and garlands (just not multi-colored ones). Of course, this pleasure is not cheap, but believe me, when all these lights come on in the evening, you will understand everything.
Place beautiful flower arrangements and candles on the guests' tables (if it's windy, maybe LED ones).
Set up a few simple photo zones that perfectly resemble nature. Place a simple arch, a painted door, wooden boxes with straw, etc. Guests will definitely appreciate and create many memories of your holiday.
Choosing a place to celebrate
An outdoor wedding allows you to choose different locations for the event. The whole process depends on the wishes and ideas of the young people, financial capabilities and the theme of the holiday.
There are several popular places for the event as follows:
- areas near a river or reservoir;
- beach area near the sea;
- castles with historical memories;
- cottages, recreation centers, dacha areas, private houses outside the city;
- park area;
- forest edge.
There are numerous outdoor wedding ideas. The main thing is to choose an interesting and picturesque area, both outside and within the city.
How to have a good time
Choosing a location is just the beginning. It is necessary to pay attention to the scenario, the full organization of the celebration, so as not to forget anything. An outdoor wedding in summer is not a spontaneous event; it needs to be thought through.
- Take into account the availability of electricity and the possibility of connecting equipment. A microphone will be needed so that all guests can hear what is happening on the main stage or small podium. Good speakers for musical accompaniment. Be sure to warn the musicians and presenters about the conditions in which the celebration is taking place, since not all equipment is suitable for use in outdoor conditions.
- The number of tables is calculated according to how many guests will come. Of course, you can have a picnic right on the ground, but in this case you need to find and arrange places to sit.
- The tables are positioned so that the place of the bride and groom is clearly visible.
- Since the weather is changeable, it is worth installing a tent, which will be needed so that guests can shelter from the sun or rain. If there are many guests, then there should be several awnings or tents. You don't have to buy them, you can rent them.
- Treat the lawn against insects. They can bring a lot of unpleasant moments, so you should take care of this in advance.
- Consider a way to transport guests to the celebration site and back. Some will come in their own cars, but it is better to organize buses so that all guests can safely celebrate the celebration without worrying about the need to drive afterward.
- Agree on the time of the wedding if the wedding takes place on the territory of a park, estate or recreation center. Most likely, you will have to pay rent or part of it in advance.
- Calculate expenses. It should be taken into account that there may be unforeseen expenses, which means that you should allocate a certain amount for them.
- Buy groceries or order food from a trusted catering establishment.
Venues for wedding celebrations
Which location to choose for a wedding depends on the plans of the future spouses.
Wedding at a tourist base
A good option for a holiday. In order for everything to go smoothly, you need to rent the houses in advance and discuss all the details.
The main advantages are fresh air, beautiful nature, unlimited time, and the use of various scenarios.
But there are also several disadvantages in the form of the area’s remoteness from the city. Not every guest will be able to get to their destination on their own. Another disadvantage is the presence of insects.
Park area
Most often, newlyweds stop at an area for a celebration such as a park. Their choice is based on several factors:
The park is located on the borders of the city, which simplifies the process of delivering guests.
Recreation areas are easier to find. It won’t be difficult to pitch a tent or order food delivery.
Restaurant with parking lot
Another great wedding idea is to book a summer terrace or restaurant space early with the possibility of allocating outdoor tables. An important advantage is that there is no need to order food. The staff is worried about the food being served. They are about a menu that is compiled according to the wishes of the newlyweds and guests. The restaurant often offers musical accompaniment and a toastmaster. They help in organizing celebrations with dances, competitions and games.
Beach area
A romantic wedding corner is to book a beach area. An event near the sea, river or lake is an excellent proposal for a ceremony. The sound of the waves creates an immediate atmosphere, gives lightness and charges you with a positive mood.
Boat trip
Another original idea for a wedding celebration is the combination of nature and water - a boat trip. The room can be decorated according to the theme that is needed. This type of wedding turns out to be the most romantic, vibrant and filled with impressions.
Guests will also be pleasantly surprised by the unusual solution for celebrating the holiday. And the newlyweds will have memories of the event for the rest of their lives.
Before the wedding day, the newlyweds must ensure the availability of the cabin. Having a roof over your head will help you hide from the rain. It is good if the ship has air conditioning, since a lack of oxygen may occur with a large number of guests.
A castle with a historical destiny outside the city
Another great option is to celebrate in a country house, which is distinguished by historical values. Preference can be given to the historical style, carefully consider all the details of the script. This will allow the young couple and those invited to stock up on positive energy and have a good rest. You will also be able to take photos, after which you will have pictures as a keepsake.
Event in noble style
If the newlyweds decide to hold the celebration in the image of a nobleman, then they can start organizing a real ball according to ancient rituals. Women dress in fluffy dresses with corsets, and men turn into knights. To create an atmosphere in the image of a nobleman, instead of a car, a carriage with horses is removed. You can ride it along city streets or countryside.
Invited guests settle down in a castle with historical memories and huge halls.
Celebrating a wedding in the guise of nobles leaves an unforgettable feeling. The main thing is to think everything over well and draw up an action plan in advance. You also need to think about the musical accompaniment.
Event in oriental style
To ensure that your wedding stays in your memory for a long time, you can hold it in an oriental style. You can use the fairy tale “A Thousand and One Nights” as a scenario.
To implement the idea you will need the following.
- Tent. It's better to rent it.
- Oriental decorative attributes in the form of pillows, bedspreads, lamps, candles and hookahs.
The celebration takes place on the floor. But bedding is prepared in advance for invited guests.
The menu includes fruits, sweets, tea.
Wedding in boho style
If future spouses want to have a fabulous celebration, then it is recommended to hold it in a boho style. The main thing is to have impeccable taste. Such a wedding can be characterized by naturalness, naturalness and weightlessness. Natural shades or ethnic motifs dominate. Boho style suits gentle and romantic natures.
Wedding in rustic style
The rustic style is usually understood as a celebration in a rustic look. The idea is to create a warm, homely and cozy stop. Minimalism, simple details, and naturalness are welcome. Available materials in the form of wildflowers and natural fabrics are suitable as decorations.
At a wedding in a rustic style, guests will feel at home, as they will be surrounded by a positive atmosphere and selected surroundings.
Holiday in Hawaiian style
If newlyweds want to remember their wedding for the rest of their lives, it is recommended to hold it in a Hawaiian style. An excellent option would be to organize an event on the beach or summer terrace. The room is decorated according to the chosen theme.
Wedding for every budget
Of course, it’s good if you have the opportunity to spend that kind of money on a wedding, order a banquet at the Metropol, invite Ivan Urgant as the host, Grigory Leps and pop stars as artists. However, the vast majority of newlyweds do not have this opportunity, since they have not yet managed to earn their billion.

The event is characterized by the presence of a beautiful arch, live decorations or artificial flowers, and draped chairs for guests. On-site registration will give you a truly festive and romantic atmosphere.
This type of marriage is becoming increasingly popular. The whole point is that newlyweds do not need to adjust to a specific date. You can choose a convenient time not only for yourself, but also for those invited.

Decoration of outdoor weddings in eco-style
The main thing in eco-style is environmental friendliness and naturalness, so when decorating a wedding celebration you need to be guided by these two theses. An eco wedding can be held in a rustic, boho or Provence style. the use of natural fabrics in their design . The color scheme is all shades of green, brown, beige, white, blue.
For a celebration in boho or Provence style, you can weave brighter shades - purple, pink, red, yellow.
Photo of a wedding in boho style in nature
Natural materials are used in the design - wood, stone. Fabrics – linen, cotton, burlap. Anything made of wood in one way or another will do - wicker baskets, stumps and cut branches. Floristry occupies an important place: you should choose seasonal wildflowers , for example, daisies, cornflowers, and bluebells. In the design you can use succulents, moss, fir cones, pine branches, ears of wheat and so on. For Provence, you can take lavender.
Simplicity of shapes and decor is another rule of an eco-style wedding. There are no ornate patterns or complex design compositions; the celebration can be easily decorated with your own hands, using things from “grandmother’s chest.” Simple cans or buckets instead of flower vases, wooden benches or stumps instead of chairs, linen tablecloths without a pattern on the tables and ceramic or glassware are a ready-made option for holiday decoration.
Instead of bouquets, you can use potted plants. It is better to abandon bright and extravagant tropical flowers, relying on simple and unpretentious plants . Original ideas for decorating pillows for wedding rings: a pillow made of moss, a nest of branches or feathers, a rag made of burlap or linen.
The table can also be decorated with moss and leaves or feathers. A more rustic rustic style requires a minimum of any decorations , just a tablecloth and cutlery with dishes.
Wedding decoration in rustic style in nature
For a picnic-style wedding outdoors blankets are laid out ; it is better to choose warmer and thicker ones so that guests do not get cold or wet. Also, for such a celebration you will need a canopy or tent.
The next day after the celebration
The second day of a wedding in nature allows the invitees and newlyweds to relax in a calm environment. Some continue to hold competitions, while others like to chat and talk with each other on various topics. The outfits are already more restrained. But if the wedding is held in a themed style, then it is worth sticking to the customs on the second day.
On the second day, guests are served a wedding loaf.
Some adhere to traditions with mummers. Some organize outdoor games, relay races or intellectual duels. It all depends on the preferences of the young.
Style selection
The simplest and most budget option, if the wedding is taking place outdoors in the summer and a small number of guests are expected, is to organize a barbecue outdoors. There will be little money spent, and guests will enjoy the holiday in good company. If you want something unusual, you will have to try.
You can organize a celebration in an ethnic style in nature. You should definitely consider thematic competitions. If the wedding is planned in a national style, then you will have to study the traditions and create a script taking them into account.
A wedding with a nautical theme looks great on the seashore: pirate, fairy tale heroes (Mermaid). The gypsy version is beautiful and unusual. Weddings in a free style, for example, hippies, are also interesting.
Based on the method of organizing an outdoor wedding, it can be divided into three main types:
- Classic. Tables are set up, a presenter, artists, and musicians are invited.
- Buffet. Food is placed on tables, and guests move freely in the space. At the same time, it is important to create a relaxation area where you can sit, otherwise the participants of the celebration will get very tired after being on their feet all day.
- Picnic. Warm blankets or low seats are laid out on the lawn. Treats are placed on low tables or in baskets.
Guests should be warned about the way the event will be organized so that they can choose appropriate clothing.
