an outdoor affair

Outdoor wedding

There’s something about an outdoor ceremony and reception that is fresh and inviting (as long as the weather holds!). Wedding vendors are catching on to the outdoor wedding trend by offering lots of terrific products that will help stylize your day.

Most outdoor weddings take place in the summer months when the weather is warm, so in case it’s downright hot, offer guests individual fans (solid or folding ones) – place one on each seat, across a plate in a place setting, or set up a basket of them near the entrance. Also help your bridesmaids stay cool by giving them each a pretty parasol (you could even use them in place of holding a bouquet).

Jazz up an outdoor ceremony spot with a personalized aisle runner or other aisle decor ideas, like running tulle along rows of chairs or hanging bows, jars with flowers, or pompoms on the outer seating.

Other fun ideas include personalized bottles of water (or old-fashion soda), flip-flops (for comfy, cool, happy feet), and courtesy baskets in the bathrooms with extra deodorant, perfume, oil-absorbing facial sheets, and even bottles of mineral facial water spray.
