Attractions at an outdoor wedding

Outdoor wedding has more than just beautiful memories. Well, during an outdoor wedding, we can provide guests with a magical atmosphere thanks to various attractions. Nothing stands in the way of ordering a soap bubble machine during the ceremony, which will make this moment like a fairy tale.

In addition, for the time of the wedding, we can go a bit further organize animations for children. Then their parents will be able to participate in this important moment in peace.

Catering for a wedding in the garden

Catering for a wedding in the garden may and even should differ from the one served in hall for the wedding. Why? Simply, a wedding in the garden is a great opportunity to organize an informal, romantic celebration. The food should also be less "formal". There are many interesting options when it comes to food for a garden wedding. Especially since we're talking about Summer wedding menufor an outdoor wedding.

• Grilling - organizing a barbecue in the garden is a great way to provide tasty and inexpensive meals. You can serve different types of meat as well as grilled vegetables, fish and salads.

• Buffet with snacks - instead of the traditional menu, you can opt for a buffet with various snacks and finger food. Mini sandwiches, sandwiches, salads, fruits, cheeses and other delicacies will be perfect for an outdoor party.

• Picnic table - create a picnic atmosphere by placing a large table in the middle of the garden, and a bench with blankets and pillows next to it. Place a variety of foods on the table, such as tortillas, salads, wraps, fruit, picnic desserts, and beverages.

• One-pot dishes - choose one-pot dishes that are easy to prepare and serve. You can serve, for example, cream soup, pasta with seafood, risotto or paella.

• Food trucks - rent food trucks that serve different types of food - pizzas, hamburgers, Asian snacks or ice cream. This will give guests a choice and create an unforgettable atmosphere.

• Drinks - offer different options: mineral water, soft drinks, wine, beer and drinks. Consider also organizing a bar area or renting a prosecco van. Or maybe it's worth offering guests a tasting craft beer? 

Pet at the wedding

Many young couples are extremely attached to their pets. Dogs, cats or other animals could not participate in the wedding at the registry office, and even more so in the church. During an outdoor wedding, nothing stands in the way of the bride's favorite accompanying her guardians during this most important day for them. Many couples even dress up their dog or cat specially for this moment, which makes the pet perfectly fit into the arrangement of the entire ceremony. For young couples, a photo from the wedding with their beloved dog is the best souvenir and a great memory.

How to choose a wedding venue in the garden?

Owners of large estates can, of course, organize a party and wedding in their own garden. In this case, it would be good to warn the neighbors that it may be noisy until the morning, because we are organizing a grand wedding. Unless we plan party instead of a wedding, then party it won't last too long. However, not everyone has such an opportunity, and even if they have a suitable garden, they may prefer to entrust the organization of an outdoor wedding party to professionals.

To make your task easier, you can simply choose, for example, a stylish wedding mansion with a beautiful garden. And preferably with rooms for wedding guests and an apartment where the Young Couple will be able to rest or refresh themselves. We also often forget that a place for a wedding in the garden must have catering and sanitary facilities. I don't think anyone can imagine an outdoor wedding reception with a plastic toilet anymore. Therefore, it is best to simply take advantage of the possibility of organizing the entire wedding ceremony and reception in the stylish gardens of the manor or palace.

Wedding flowers in the garden?

Regardless of whether we take church wedding, civil weddingor will it be humanistic wedding, it is always a very important event. It is understandable that we want everything not only to succeed, but also to turn out great. That is why we usually spend so much time not only on the organization of the wedding, but also on the organization of the reception. Especially if you want to organize a wedding in the garden, there are many things to consider. For example, the time of year.

The best decoration of an outdoor wedding is blooming flowers, and in our own garden we know when this phenomenon culminates. So let's choose the wedding date for blooming flowers. Let's check which plants dominate in our garden, because, for example, rhododendrons or azaleas may bloom at a different time than hydrangeas or lilies. If we hit the date when the flowers and scents of our plants are the most intense, it is possible that additional wedding decorations will no longer be needed.

An outdoor wedding

It seems that an outdoor wedding itself is already very romantic. What if we could move the wedding ceremony so that it took place under the starry sky? However, will the bride and groom and wedding guests have enough patience to wait for an outdoor wedding until the evening? And in the case of an official wedding, a registrar or a priest must be present. Although, actually, you can get married even earlier, and only on the day we choose place for a wedding invite someone like a master of ceremonies and get married again of our dreams and with the words of our wedding vows arranged according to what we really have in our hearts. That is to organize a wonderful humanist wedding in the garden, at any time. Or a wedding or something wedding party in the garden you can start a bit earlier, and leave the highlight of the program - the wedding itself - in the evening. Unique atmosphere guaranteed!

Wedding in the open air - an unusual wedding

An outdoor wedding is also an opportunity to organize an unusual wedding. Some couples depart from tradition and prefer a wedding in a slightly less solemn style. Therefore, right after the wedding, they can invite guests to an American-style garden party or a feast with grilled dishes served by the chef. It will certainly be a surprising but very nice experience. Such a casual form of the wedding also encourages the guests to a different style of clothing, definitely less formal, looser, but still in line with the style of the ceremony.

Many couples do not opt for typical traditional wedding ceremonies, such as the first dance or oczepiny, and instead offer themselves and their guests a nice time with their family. Brides and grooms are looking for more and more unique wedding ideasbecause they want to stand out. Wedding in the garden is a great idea for an original, modern wedding and a great party. After all, no one said that you can't have fun outside with music until dawn!
