On the countryside, in the middle of the forest, in a garden, desert or beach, but always outdoors. More and more couples are opting for these frames for their weddings, which also allows them to decorate with an endless variety of options.
Rural and country weddings are undoubtedly the great protagonists of outdoor ceremonies, with wildflowers, steamy dresses, lights, woods, esparto grass … are the favorites to create an atmosphere that is romantic and welcoming.
But that’s not all, because at Perfect Venue we have many outdoor venues where you can celebrate any type of wedding you can imagine. Want to know more? Then write down all our ideas and advices that you have to keep in mind when celebrating your wedding outdoors.
The light
In outdoor weddings the light plays a fundamental role in providing the area with great beauty and harmony, warmth and romance. Whether day or night, it is almost a must to include candles, lanterns, garlands or torches, because when the sun goes down a majestic scenery will be formed.
The great trend for weddings of this kind is to suspend light chains between the trees, as well as create a candlelight aisle to the altar. Pure magic!
What should I wear?
Always in tune with the style of the wedding, but as comfortable as possible, as an outdoor wedding may involve some uneven terrain or some difficulty, so we recommend that brides and guests always wear shoes according to the place.
Have you thought about cowboy boots for your wedding on a rural property? Or do you prefer sandals to walk on a wooden walkway? Still, you can always wear your high heels to a more modern wedding on a luxurious rooftop.
In terms of dresses, in fields, gardens and beaches, the bohemian, the vaporous and the vintage takes the upper hand, while the classics, which never go out of style like the mermaid or princess cuts, will be perfect for the exteriors of a castle or luxury hotel.
The season of the year
It is essential to take the season into account, in which the wedding is going to be celebrated, since it will have an influence on the choice of the venue and the decoration of it.
Intense heat, gusts of wind, coldness, or unexpected rain, don’t panic! Because, even if you get married, for example, in a garden, you can always count on some indoor lounge.
For this reason it is necessary to have a plan B, either with tents (transparent so as not to deprive us of the views) or with a space that allows us to go under cover at a given time, whether it is cold or hot, because you know, the weather is unpredictable!
Decoration and style of the marriage
Depending on the style or theme of the wedding we will opt for one decoration or another. The good thing is that this space can adapt to any style.
For a wedding at the countryside or gardens, the elements that will abound are wood, brown tones such as jute, pallets, wooden chairs, wildflowers of the countryside… and if we want to add a vintage touch we will only have to add tinplate or glass in nude and white tones and wrought iron chairs.
For a forest, the large canvases between the trees, laces, carpets, trunks or lanterns will also provide a perfect setting for this nuptial scenario, filling it with magic.
The beach is another of the outdoor spaces that also gives a lot of scope, as chairs in white or blue, shells and starfish are the most appropriate decoration for the occasion. Marine Inspiration!
If, on the other hand, you are thinking of a more classic wedding, there is also another option with more minimalist elements and more elegant tones such as black, white or grey in a large modern terrace of a luxury hotel.

In any environment it will be a success to place a large arch of flowers on the altar, in harmony with the rest of the decoration of the space. It can be full of wildflowers, with large white fabrics, or more minimalist heart shaped. A very simple element that will bring much to the ceremony and capture all eyes.
You’ve already seen that decorating your wedding outdoors is possible whatever style you choose, but whichever don’t forget to place citronella candles, which are aromatic and mosquito repellent, a detail that your guests will appreciate it, when they are outdoor, as well as in a chillout zone, no doubt. Combine them with all styles!
