The Indoor/Outdoor Wedding Dilemma – Will Mother Nature cooperate?

The dream of a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony can quickly become a nightmare if the clouds open up and rain dampens your otherwise perfect day. How do you prepare for something like that? Mother Nature is a fickle force. Just when you think the weather will cooperate with you, she changes her mind and dishes out a little adversity. Proper planning for an outdoor venue is necessary if you want to have that fairy tale wedding you’ve been visualizing since childhood. How do you make sure it happens for you?

Begin the planning process by deciding on a back-up plan for bad weather. Weddings aren’t like back yard barbeques. You can’t go with a rain date if the weather doesn’t cooperate the day of. Between the cost of the wedding dress, the invitations, the meal, the cake, the limo, and the venue itself, you’re looking at a loss of thousands of dollars and some very irritated family members if the wedding doesn’t happen on the designated time and day. To make sure you don’t have that experience, find a way to bring the outdoor venue indoors. You can accomplish this with a tent or book a location with a hall and an outdoor setting. That way, you can move inside if it rains or if it’s too hot or cold.

Choosing the Right Wedding Favors for that Indoor/Outdoor Plan

If the weather conditions are uncertain and you think you will have to deal with extreme heat, cold, or rain, you might want to stay away from edible wedding favors. They tend to be the most vulnerable to the elements. Fairy tale wedding favors, on the other hand, are durable and long lasting, have that special look and feel that will give your wedding a magical appeal, and work in both outdoor and indoor settings. Imagine a wedding day filled with enchanted castles, glass slippers, and magical coaches. We have all of those and more to help you create a fairy tale venue for your special day.

Other popular choices include our love wedding favors collection and of course our seasonal lines for winter, spring, summer, and fall. When going with an outdoor venue you might want to look into each of these. Keep in mind that in an outdoor setting, if it doesn’t rain, you’ll be dealing with wind and possibly bright sunlight. Certain wedding favors don’t hold up well in these elements. If you have any questions about which ones we’d recommend, feel free to call our toll free number 888-448-7859.
