Spending one of the biggest days of your life as a couple in the great outdoors, surrounded by family and friends, truly is a romantic ideal. Though whilst it may seem simple to host your outdoor wedding, just like any other style of nuptials it takes a lot of planning, and a fair amount of research to get it just right.
After all, as the best marquee hire Essex has to offer, we understand that this is the biggest day of your life! So you want to get it right, regardless of whether you are planning an outdoor wedding or not.
But if you are planning to have an outdoor wedding then as the leading marquee hire Essex has, we here at County Marquees East Anglia have highlighted five of the most important factors you should consider before planning your big day outside.
You can’t legally tie the knot outside
UK law requires a wedding to take place under a fixed roof, so if you are planning an outdoor wedding then you need to bear in mind that you can’t legally exchange vows in a garden or a marquee for example. However, if this ruins the picture you have in mind for your ceremony, and you want an outdoor wedding, then tie up the legal loose ends either before or after in another location. So if you are looking for marquee hire Essex then this law doesn’t have to spoil your vision for an amazing outdoor wedding!
Unpredictable weather
We all know the British weather can be slightly maverick, even in the height of summer, but as long as you’re prepared this won’t be an issue. The most beautiful marquees Essex can offer are a fabulous way of providing secure and reliable shelter that will stand up to both wind and rain (if you’re unlucky enough to encounter the on the big day).
If you are looking to hire a marquee Essex then you could even go one step further and plump for welcoming interior fire pits for a little extra warmth, especially if you really feel you might need it! As don’t forget that lots of bodies create a fair amount of heat all on their own, especially in an enclosed space, and especially when those bodies are hopefully full of good food and drink and are dancing the night away!
Footwear
For the bridal party, remember that if you’re outdoors there may be a strong likelihood you’ll have to tackle mud and/or grass, which isn’t ideal if you’re wearing brilliant white stilettos! Make sure you have arrangements in place, whether it be a red carpet or a special pair of white wellies if you think you might need them. Your guests will also be appreciative if you let them know well in advance that part of the wedding will be outdoors, so they can dress appropriately.
When looking to hire a marquee Essex this is a great tip!
Forget traditional food
Hog roasts, afternoon tea, barbecues… an outdoor wedding opens up a whole host of wedding breakfast possibilities! If you’re after a less formal feel, why not have your guests choose their own seating. If you simply must go down the traditional route, organise caterers well in advance and let them know what sort of conditions they will be working with.
Toilets
Easy to forget, but disastrous if you do! It goes without saying that even though you are planning an outdoor wedding, you don’t expect your guests to have the full “outside experience” cough cough. So mobile toilets of a high standard are a must for any outdoor wedding! We recommend the amazing Red Woodpecker Event Hire, which hires luxury mobile toilets throughout the Essex area and ideal for those looking for marquee hire Essex!
