32 Totally Ingenious Ideas For An Outdoor Wedding

1. Provide pillows if you’re using uncomfortable outdoor seats.

blrphoto.com / Via stylemepretty.com

Many outdoor seats are wrought iron or wood, which can get uncomfortable if you’re sitting on them for long periods of time. The pillows also add an extra decorative touch.

2. Warn your guests ahead of time about appropriate footwear if they’re going to be walking in the grass.

Just a little note on the invite should be sufficient.

Heel covers are also a thing that exists.

3. Or give your bridesmaids cement blocks to stand on so they don’t sink into the grass.

4. Provide guests with their own parasols.

5. Offer ample options for ice cold hydration.

6. Offer individual insect repellent options.

9. Be sure to have snacks and water for the bridesmaids.

Between hair, makeup, and photos, your bridesmaids don’t have much time to drink water and eat, which is especially important on a super hot day. Plan a short break before showtime. You don’t want anyone fainting on you.
