Idaho Outdoor Weddings - things to consider Outdoor Wedding Venue tips Having an outdoor wedding is a trend we see more and more from Wineries, Inns and retreats to large city parks and gardens. We are lucky here in Idaho, to have such amazing locations and natural scenery. An outdoor wedding venue provides bridal couples the freedom to customize a design that is completely their own, with little to no limitations of an indoor venue. There are a few things that are a must when using an outdoor wedding venue and a check list is very important to making sure every detail is accounted for, so your special day go according to plan. Outdoor Wedding venue location: Selecting a venue can be challenging, due to a lot more thing you as a couple needs to consider when visiting each location. Below are a few items to consider: - Size and terms: Larger enough accommodate your wedding guests, yet still able to provide an intimate atmosphere. If on government land, what paper work and permits are needed, along with any special codes and rules?
- Level ground: The perfect location will have plenty of level surfaces for a dance floor and tents. Size up the level areas, not be to at a bottom of a hill, incase of rain before, during or after your reception, it may be muddy or very soft.
- Tents/Gazebo: This is a fantastic back up plan, to your outdoor venue. Even though the open-air concept is amazing, the weather; be it heat or rain, can be unpredictable. Make sure to do this well in advance, to get the best quality for the lowest price.
- Table/Chairs/Linens and other items: Some outdoor wedding venues may supply tables and chairs, but linens, tableware (plates, silverware, napkins and glassware) are all extras through a rental company. Renting and setting them up your self will cave cost, yet time consuming. Note: Average wedding reception table seats 8 people, so arrange table accordingly).
- Time: It is critical to visit the outdoor venue you’ve selected a few times, approximately the same time as you wedding and reception is scheduled, so you know how the venue will appear to your guests, photographer and many be where you will place the tents for shade.
