A wedding banquet in nature is the dream of many brides. To avoid disappointments, you need to think over everything in advance and foresee every little thing.
1. Calculate your budget. Most likely, a wedding outside the city will significantly increase costs, unless, of course, you are going to barbecue yourself in the forest. Outdoor restaurants in the summer usually charge significantly higher prices than in the city. The presence of a picturesque landscape around (lake, bay, river) further increases the cost. In addition, you will have to spend money on a transfer for guests, and if you are planning a banquet very far from the city, then also on accommodation. You can contact the catering companies, which usually know the places in the "open field" where you can set up tents and bring an off-site kitchen. The menu can be made cheaper than in a restaurant, but you will have to pay separately for renting tents and a platform.
2. Calculate the route. Carefully calculate the time for all your movements, taking into account traffic jams. The best option in this case would be on-site registration, so that you can leave early, and you can officially "sign" at the registry office any other day.
3. Consider options in case of bad weather. For example, you decided to arrange a fabulous off-site registration on the beach, but that day it started raining, it got cold and a strong wind blew. Therefore, you always need to think in advance about transferring the action to the room or at least to a tent or gazebo, under the roof.
4. How appropriate is your clothing suitable for suburban conditions. A bride in a huge fluffy dress in a tent in the middle of the forest will look at least strange. If the exit check-in takes place on the beach and there is no carpet on some section, then you are guaranteed to fill your open shoes with sand, which will bother you all evening. In case of wind and cool weather, it is better to provide a cape on the shoulders if the dress is open.
5. Take full advantage of the countryside. Many out-of-town venues provide opportunities for non-standard wedding scenarios and off-site registration. For example, fly in by helicopter, ride up by horse or sail by boat. Think about the props for a photo shoot in nature. Arrange entertainment for your guests - catamarans racing, cycling. It is better to come to the site with a host in advance in order to think over the wedding scenario in advance.
