Food is one of the wedding’s highlights. As a result, you’ll not want to treat your visitors to the usual meals. Instead, you’ll want something unique; meals that will tantalize your taste buds and imprint the experience to memory.

Catering is not an easy task. It means getting creative with the meals you want to offer and then getting the perfect caterer. You’ll also need to find out the catering policy of your venue.

Sushi Station

Do you relish sushi? Then the Japanese delicacy is perfect for your wedding.

Sushi is also served fresh and is a favorite for many people. 

Build-Your-Own-Brunch-Bowl

Spice up your special day with these incredible bring-your-own-brunch-bowls. If you are going for breakfast foods, consider an acai bowl with different toppings.

You can choose to get prepared bowls such as açai bowls or do it yourself. You’ll get the freedom to set up the bowl station to your preference and include your favorite meals. 

You can include mix-ins like fresh juices and fruit purees for mimosas and serve pickled veggies, bacon, and shrimp for Bloodys.

Charcuterie in a Cup

Charcuterie in a cup

Everyone, including us at Curated Events, loves charcuterie. As a result, you will find everyone trying to get to the charcuterie table first, causing a crowd. No one wants that on your special day.

You can make things simpler by providing the charcuterie in a cup. The premade varieties are passed around in cups to ensure everyone enjoys the delicacy and no crowding occurs at the charcuterie table.

Cheese Station

Cheese station

Just the sound of it makes your mouth water, right?

Almost everyone loves cheese. Setting up a cheese station at your wedding will have your guests beaming. Provide a range of different types of cheese and include various accompaniments.

Some of the best accompaniments include- fresh and dried fruit, meat, veggies, granola, and olives.

Cut up the cheese into pieces and let the guests serve themselves. That way, they’ll customize the meal to their preferences.

Colorful Salads

Fruit salad

Kill two birds with one stone using colorful salads.

Instead of going for dull-looking salads for your wedding, collaborate with your caterer and come up with salads made from colorful veggies. Your guests will have a tasty appetizer as they wait for the main meal while you add color to the decor.

Fresh Poke

Fresh poke

If you love Hawaiian culture and food and would love to incorporate it into your wedding, Poke is the way to go.

The traditional Hawaiian meal consists of white rice topped with raw fish marinated in sesame oil, green onions, soy sauce, and other spices. The fish dish comes served in a bowl and is a seafood everyone will relish.

You can also let the guests make their own bowls and use the seasoning they prefer. Also, provide an option for your vegetarian guests.

Dessert Remix

Dessert remix

Normal and boring is the one thing you want to avoid on your wedding day. Make your wedding dessert stand out by doing things differently and mixing different foods. It will make guests eager to try out the various mash-ups and take the idea home. As a result, it will be a constant reminder of your wedding.

Some of our favorites include- Wonut or waffle donut(waffle in the shape of a donut with donut frosting), oreo popcorn, and ice cream cakes.

Food & Beer Flights

Gourmet hot dog

A late night bite idea for someone rustic and who loves their beer.

Serve your guests with your favorite beer alongside other varieties after you say, “I do.” It is a simple way to celebrate your day, and it goes hand in hand with food.

Offer various choices, from french fries, hotdogs, and sliders, to any other delicious meal.

Pretzel Bar

Pretzel bar

Who doesn’t love pretzels? 

Pretzels because they offer your guests both salty and sweet tastes.

Set up a pretzel bar and let the guests serve themselves. They’ll be free to choose the quantity they want and top them with their preferred sauces.

Remember to offer various toppings, including- melted chocolate, cheese, Pepperoni, and caramel.

Seasonal Vegetable Dish

Vegetable dish

Do you want to impress all your vegetarian guests? Then, serve your wedding guests a meal full of tasty vegetables. 

The seasonal vegetable dish moves away from the common roasted vegetable stacks that are dull. Instead, you get a colorful, delicious meal that looks amazing with your wedding decorations.

BBQ & Beer

BBQ

Food and Beer Flights are a great outdoor wedding catering idea, but they are not for everyone. If you prefer a less involved meal, you could go for BBQ.

Serve your guests with the usual BBQ meals like burgers, brisket, potato salad, hot wings, pasta salad, and pork. Better still, accompany them with some quality beer and have a BBQ party!

Mexican-style Veggies

Mexican style veggies

Once again, your vegetable menu doesn’t have to look dull. Instead, you can spice up the menu with colored veggies that add color while delivering exquisite tastes.

Mexican dishes are a great way to make your vegetables look attractive. Foods like tostadas and veggie chips look fancy and creative. They also offer very delicious tastes that will make the non-vegetarians think twice.

Local Fare

There are various reasons why you would choose a venue. It could be the setup, environment, or budget issues.

One thing that is usually thought of last or never is the local cuisine.

If your location is known for a specific meal, you could incorporate it into your menu. For example, this could be your hometown’s favorite meal or food you had during your travels.

Local flare is a great way to personalize your nuptials.

Mini Tacos and Margs

Mini tacos

Get the party going with some margarita served with mini tacos.

You can make margaritas with various alcohol capacities to serve the different guests and serve them in easy-to-carry bottles. 

Serve the Margs alongside tacos during cocktail hour, and the dancefloor gets crazy in a few. Get the groove up!

Caprese Kabobs

Caprese kabobs

Caprese skewer kabobs bring a twist to how people enjoy the traditional Caprese salad.

Instead of serving them on plates, take a skewer and arrange the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, and balsamic. That way, your guest can have an easier time holding the Caprese salad when engaged in something during cocktail hour.

Caprese kabobs also allow the guest to customize their salads.

Portable French Fries

French fries

If there is one popular snack we couldn’t leave out, it is french fries. The treat is loved by everyone and is a perfect late night snack.

This time around, we put a twist on how they are served. Instead of plates, put the snacks in rolled cones or small cups if you want to accompany them with sauce.

Bao Buns

Bao buns

Another Chinese delicacy you could incorporate into your outdoor luxury wedding menu is the Bao Bun. The healthy treat is deliciously warm and has a fluffy stuffing inside the sweet, white dough.

Thanks to the small size, the event-friendly bites are easy to hold if you are standing or engaged in a conversation. They also look good on camera.

Luxury Outdoor Wedding Menu Ideas

By Blog

After deciding on the overall aesthetic to choose for your wedding, you then have to go through all the different food options for your reception! 

Planning a wedding can be difficult, but made much easier by the vendors you choose to work alongside. Your wedding menu is a fun and important element to thoughtfully consider. 

You want your guests to associate the memory of your wedding with incredible food. Outdoor weddings can come with several unique challenges, requiring you to go the extra mile to ensure everything is in order. 

Sounds difficult? Only if you’re not armed with the correct information.

Here’s everything you need to know about luxury outdoor wedding menus. 

5 Major Preparations For Outdoor Meal Planning

Before we delve into the finer details, we need to cover some more general concerns. So often, when we start planning by establishing the proper framework, we forget less and do more in a shorter period.

So what are the four pillars of outdoor menu planning?

Know Everything About Your Venue

It is best to go to the venue several times well before the event so you can plan with your catering team and assess what resources are available to you. Choosing the venue before you settle on a menu is perfectly alright since menus are more flexible. Make sure to speak with the venue’s agent about the site plan if you cannot see the spot before the event.

Pay close attention to details such as the terrain, the entrance position, and even the availability or location of electricity connection. All these things will dictate what meals you will put on your menu, how people will sit and how safe it will be to bring various cooking equipment.

Wedding dancefloor

Observe the Weather and Have a Back-Up Plan

Outdoor weddings are planned on days where people hope for there to be no rain or any other form of unpleasant weather. However, the weather is unpredictable, so you must always have a backup plan. 

Find an outdoor venue with an adjacent, indoor venue, or have a tent on reserve so you can quickly shift to if you are unsure of the weather forecast. 

If you’re determined to have the wedding on a rainy day, invest in backup electricity and tents. Covering your preparation area is essential to keep the outdoor catering materials safe from the elements. If you don’t create a backup plan, you can be in a stressful situation on the day of the event.

Plan Your Space For Maximum Comfort and Flexibility

Is there enough room for servers to walk around with the food? If you plan a buffet, will the arrangement force guests to walk uncomfortably long distances to get food? Will guests be bothered by the heat and smoke from the barbeque as they struggle to listen to speeches?

Many people do not realize how vital the seating arrangement is when choosing what and how people will eat. When you visit or speak to the site manager, try to figure these issues out. 

Ask how many guests the venue can accommodate if they have barbeque equipment you can use and if it is easy to walk about on the terrain. You also do not want your guests or servers tripping with their plates full of food.

Therefore, we will discuss one more topic before getting down to the best foods to serve at a luxury outdoor wedding: outdoor wedding reception meal styles.

Wedding Reception Meal Styles

Outside wedding

How should we plan the meals then? 

Seating arrangements matter when figuring out what to include in the menu. This is because they determine how people sit for easy movement, where they sit, what facilities they may need, and the comfort of your guests. Based on the points discussed above, these are the meal styles we recommend:

Plated sit-down dinner

All guests are seated and given a formal dinner during a plated sit-down dinner.

Family style dinner

Rather than presenting food on individual plates, a big platter intended for sharing is used.

Buffet Style

Visitors serve themselves from a selection of dishes on a table or sideboard.

Food Stations

It’s similar to a mini-buffet, except for service staff at each meal station.

Cocktail Reception

A cocktail reception does not include a formal dinner; instead, a selection of hors d’oeuvres and several cocktails.

Best Foods to Serve at a Luxury Outdoor Wedding

Now that we know the restrictions we may have at our chosen venue and the different ways we can choose to serve our guests, we can now get down to specific foods.

Although food choices unique to you are important, you must ensure they will do well in outdoor settings. For peace of mind, they also need to have a broad appeal and fit the luxurious and sophisticated aura you are looking to create. These are our picks of the best foods for luxurious outdoor weddings.

Build Your Own Brunch Bowl

Consider offering açai bowls as a creative twist on traditional breakfast fare if you will be having a brunch wedding. These are smoothie bowls with a selection of toppings. Create an engaging experience by setting up a station with various toppings, including fresh fruit, seeds, almonds, and granola.

You can take this in whatever direction you’d like; however, açai bowls are one option. For instance, you may set up a DIY breakfast bowl station with grits, sausages, and other typical breakfast items.

Wedding food

Chicken, Beef, and Fish

You may be tempted to get the most exotic foods for your wedding, but traditional options are often the best for a stress free event.

These foods have universal appeal. Most people will enjoy them and adapt to different cultures. Most caterers know how to handle them expertly, and they maintain heat when served in large quantities and work well with sauces.

Have a variety of these meals because it is not easy to know what a guest will want. Always remember to have a vegetable-based main dish or vegan options for any guest who does not eat meat.

Cheese Station

Everyone at your wedding will be delighted with the cheese station. Give your visitors a delectable selection of cheeses and various foods to go with them. 

Crackers, fresh bread, fruit, vegetables, and nuts are a few suggestions. Next, create a buffet so that each person may assemble their dish.

Wedding cheeseplate

Charcuterie in a Cup

There is no denying that charcuterie tables are trendy. However, if there is a line at the display, it may be challenging for people to serve themselves. 

Here’s a unique menu suggestion for a wedding: charcuterie in a cup. Give your loved ones a pre-made selection of cheeses, meats, crackers, and fruits to munch.

Wedding snacks

Mexican Inspired Vegetables

You don’t have to eat bland vegetables. Instead, get inventive with your presentation as one method to liven up a dinner suitable for vegetarians. Tostadas, vegetarian chips, and filled vegetables are examples of Mexican food that feel innovative, elevated, fun, and taste fantastic.

You can add seasonal vegetables to the menu if you want even more vegetables. You can grill, mildly cook, season, or turn them into a salad because they are fresh.

Giving vegetables a prominent place on your menu will help add a unique twist and simplify your selections for non-meat eaters. There’s nothing as memorable as a refreshing menu at a wedding.

Creative, Personalized Cocktails

You can never go wrong with a cocktail. They are fun yet classy, and everybody loves them.

Cocktails are versatile and easy to modify to suit any theme. You do not have to restrict yourself to wine and champagne. Get your favorite cocktails and serve them with a unique twist, or stick to the classic mojitos, negronis, and daiquiris. 

Fresh Juice and Water

Consider fresh juices and water to accommodate the non-drinkers and underage guests at your wedding. Water is perhaps more important than any drink you add to your menu, especially on a hot day.

Juices from the local retail store may not give off the high-end vibe you are looking for. That is why fresh fruit juice is the best option; if it can be blended on-site, the better.

Wedding smoothie

Dessert Mix

When it comes to dessert, be as creative as possible. Of course, everyone expects a cake, so delight your guests by adding extra variety to your menu. Popular dessert mash-up ideas are cronuts, red velvet cheesecake, apple crisp pizza, cookie dough pop, and ice cream cakes.

If you have any vegan guests joining the party, consider milk-free or milk substitute treats and eggless cakes. These are often as tasty as their traditional counterparts, and in cases such as black forest cakes, almond milk makes it ten times better. 

Wedding desserts

Common Questions About Outdoor Wedding Menus

Although we have covered many topics, here are a few bonus questions couples often have about their wedding menus.

What is the Most Popular Meal at a Wedding?

Many people often like having either beef, chicken, or fish. Although several metrics can break down these opinions, it is always safer to have either all of them or at least one at your wedding.

How Many Menus Do You Need for a Wedding?

It is often best to have one menu per person for convenience. However, if you want to minimize on paper, you can opt for one menu per table. There is no hard rule you must follow.

Wedding menu

What Foods Should I Keep Off My Outdoor Wedding Menu?

These apply to all events: avoid foods that are messy to eat. 

You should avoid burgers, spaghetti, saucy ribs, and stuffed croissants. Any foods with laxative properties should also be avoided, together with those that require specialists to cook them. 

Have a Unique Wedding, While Keeping It Classy and Practical

We all want our wedding to be the best experience of our lives. After all, they represent the sealing of a covenant of love with the most precious person we cherish and adore. But sorting through our ideas and the endless options from planners can get overwhelming fast.

The solution here is to remember that millions of people have had wonderful outdoor weddings. What would stop you from doing the same? We can learn a lot from studying others and getting inspiration from them. 

This post compiles the best of these ideas for your convenience. So forget the troubles of forgetting some crucial logistics or being in the dark about what food works best. Your dream wedding is within reach at Curated Events.

The Different Types of Tents for Luxury Outdoor Weddings

By Blog

Weddings are an exciting time to get together with family and friends to celebrate a special occasion. What could be more special than getting married outdoors?

Suppose you want to make the day truly special and memorable. Therefore, you must put much thought into the planning process – the venue, the caterers, and the type of tent that you will use.

A luxury outdoor wedding can still be breathtaking even if you are not planning a destination wedding. Tents provide a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors with your guests on your big day.

Not only do they allow you to get married in nature, but they also provide much-needed shade on a hot summer day.

Asides from that, tents are a vital part of any outdoor wedding, providing shelter from the elements and creating a luxurious and stylish setting for your big day.

Whether you’re planning a garden-themed wedding in the woods or an elegant affair by the water, there are tents to fit every style and budget.

From pole and frame tents to sailcloth tents, you can find the perfect tent to make your wedding day dreams come true.

Outdoor Wedding Tents That Will Make Your Celebration Extraordinary

1. Pole Tents

Pole tents are the most popular type of outdoor wedding tent. A center pole and guy ropes support them. The top of the tent is made of heavy-duty fabric, which is often white or ivory in color. The covering can be a waterproof material or a very sturdy sailcloth material.

Pole tents are the most common type of tent used for weddings. They are also the most affordable option. But do not let that fool you – pole tents can embody luxury depending on the type and quality you are going for.

Outdoor wedding tent in the woods

Pole tents are a good option if you are having your wedding on the grass. You can install this kind of tent on various types of surfaces. They can also be installed on asphalt or concrete.

2. Frame Tents

Frame tents are similar to pole tents but are supported by a metal frame instead of center poles. The frame is typically made of aluminum. Because frame tents do not require center poles, they have more space and can accommodate more people.

Frame tents are a good option for weddings on hard surfaces, such as asphalt or concrete. They can also be installed on grass, but you cannot stake them into the ground because they do not have center poles.

And like pole tents, frame tents come in various sizes and can be decorated to match your wedding theme. Also, because they do not have center poles, frame tents provide a clear view of the outside, which is perfect for weddings held in scenic locations.

Wedding Tent

If you are looking for a frame tent, ask about the weight capacity. Some frame tents can only accommodate a certain amount of weight. Therefore, if you plan on decorating your tent with heavy objects such as chandeliers, you must ensure that the tent can handle the extra weight.

Overall, frame tents are an excellent choice for weddings held in locations with beautiful views. They are also a good choice for weddings that are being held on hard surfaces.

And since the covering can be made of any material, especially those that are clear, like glass or acrylic, it will give an unobstructed view of the surroundings. Some are even made of sailcloth which makes them elegant and classy.

3. Sailcloth Tents

Sailcloth tents are a type of frame tent made of sailcloth instead of traditional fabric. Sailcloth is a heavy-duty fabric often used to make sails for boats. It is also waterproof and UV resistant, which makes it great for outdoor weddings.

Sailcloth tents have a nautical look and feel to them, a quality that makes them perfect for weddings that are held near water. They are also a good choice for beach weddings.

Sailcloth tents can be installed on various types of surfaces. So a sailcloth tent can be a good choice, whether you are having your wedding on the beach, on grass, or on asphalt. Also, because sailcloth tents are made of heavy-duty fabric, they can withstand high winds and other harsh weather conditions.

Outdoor wedding tent

With the UV-resistant feature of the sailcloth, you can be sure that you and your guests are protected from the sun’s harmful rays. So, a sailcloth tent can provide much-needed shade if you plan an outdoor wedding in a sunny location.

Perhaps, this is not emphasized as much as it should, but sailcloth speaks of nothing less than a luxury. When your guests look at it, they will know they are in for a treat.

4. Clear Tents

Clear tents are a type of frame tent made of transparent PVC material. Clear tents provide an unobstructed view of the outside, making them perfect for weddings held in luxury locations.

Clear tents can be either single- or double-layer PVC, depending on the manufacturer. And like other types of tents, clear tents come in various sizes.
You can also install it on various types of surfaces. So a clear tent can be a good choice, whether you are having your wedding on the beach, on grass, or on asphalt.

One advantage of clear tents is that they provide UV protection. And because of the transparency and the covering, it also has an exquisite look that will impress your guests. Be sure not to use a cleartop tent in the hot months- it will create a greenhouse effect and be very, very hot!

What to Consider Before Getting a Tent for Your Luxury Outdoor Wedding

Now that you know the different types of tents available through Curated Events, it is time to start thinking about what type of tent would be best for your luxury outdoor wedding. Here are a few things that you should keep in mind before making your final decision.

The Size of Your Wedding

If you plan on having a large number of guests, you will need to get a big enough tent to accommodate them.

The type of surface that you will be setting up your tent on. You can only set up some tents on certain types of surfaces. So, make sure to check before making your purchase.

Your Budget

Tents can range in price from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. So, you will need to figure out how much you are willing to spend on your tent.

The Weather Conditions

Make sure to check the weather forecast for your wedding day. If there is a chance of bad weather, you will need to get a tent that can withstand those conditions. Even if there is a forecast for good weather, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Your Wedding Theme

Your wedding tent should match the theme of your wedding. For example, if you are having a garden-themed wedding, you might want to get a yurt or sailcloth tent. But, if you have a more modern or classic-themed wedding, then a marquee tent would be a better option. A sailcloth tent can also go in this case because sailcloth is a very versatile material.

The Decorations You Want to Use

If you have specific decorations in mind for your wedding, you will need to ensure that they are compatible with the type of tent that you get. For example, if you want to hang chandeliers from the ceiling of your tent, you need to be sure that your tent can support that.

Your Wedding Location

The location of your wedding will also play a role in the type of tent that you get. For example, if you are having your wedding in a place with many trees, you might want to consider a sailcloth or yurt tent. But, if you are having your wedding in an open field, a marquee or frame tent would be a better option.

Your Personal Taste and Preference

Before choosing a tent, you must consider your personal taste and preference. Do you want a traditional-looking tent or something more modern? What color do you want your tent to be? These are critical questions.

Suppose you naturally love the idea of a modern or classic-themed luxury wedding. In that case, you might want to get sailcloth or marquee tent. But, a yurt tent would be ideal if you want a more traditional look.

By taking all of these factors into consideration, you will be able to find the perfect tent for your luxury outdoor wedding.

Final Thoughts

Outdoor weddings are always in vogue, especially in luxury circles. And not just that, tents are a vital part of any outdoor wedding. And it is something you have to get right because it will be one of the first things your guests see when they arrive at your wedding.

There are a variety of different types of tents that you can choose from for your luxury outdoor wedding. So, do your research and figure out which kind of tent would be best for you.

Consider the size of your wedding, the location, the weather conditions, and the budget before making your final decision. And most importantly, do not forget to have fun! After all, it is your big day!

Luxury Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Seating Plan Ideas

By Blog

As outdoor weddings are becoming more and more popular, a seating plan is becoming even more important.

Apart from offering a beautiful natural setting, often with breathtaking views, outdoor locations provide flexibility that indoor venues cannot. However, one of the challenges of planning an outdoor wedding is figuring out the best way to seat your guests.

Seating your guests comfortably is essential to hosting a successful luxury outdoor wedding ceremony. After all, your guests will spend a large portion of the day seated, so you want to ensure they are comfortable.

Choosing the right seating arrangement can make all the difference in ensuring your guests have a memorable experience.

While the ceremony is going on, your guests also need to have a great view of the activities. This consideration can help you decide on the best seating arrangement for them.

Thankfully, outdoor settings allow a lot of flexibility regarding your seating plan. For example, you can go traditional with rows of chairs facing the altar or switch things up with more unique seating arrangements.

One thing is sure, between the views and the fresh air that outdoor settings offer, your guests will be in for a treat no matter how you choose to seat them. And with a little bit of planning, you can create a seating plan that is both beautiful and functional.

Creative Luxury Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Seating Plan Ideas You Are Sure to Love

If you are having a luxury outdoor wedding, chances are you want everything to be perfect. The seating plan is one crucial detail you will not want to overlook. With some creativity, you can devise a seating plan for which you and your guests will be thankful.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Good Old Rows Seating

Rows are the traditional way to seat guests for an outdoor wedding ceremony. However, to make your chair setting a bit easier, you can arrange rows of chairs on either side of a central aisle leading up to the altar.

This seating plan is the most efficient way to accommodate many people. It also offers a clear view of the altar for all guests. This seating arrangement is for you if you don’t want anyone obstructing anyone’s view during the ceremony.

To add a bit of luxury to your rows of chairs, consider using specialty chairs rather than folding chairs.

Rows seating

2. Full Circle Seating Plan

This seating plan differs from the traditional one, offering a more unique and intimate setting for your ceremony. Seating your guests full circle around the altar creates a more connected feeling. Plus, everyone gets to have a great view of the entire ceremony.

To make this seating arrangement work, you will need enough space for a large circle and enough chairs for all the guests. But be sure to create mini aisles within the circle so guests can quickly move around during the event.

Full circle seating

3. Theater Seating Plan

For theater seating arrangements, chairs are arranged descendingly, just as you would find in a movie theater. Here, rows of chairs are placed facing the altar with aisles between them. This type of seating is a good option if you have an extensive guest list and want everyone to view the ceremony well.

A seating arrangement of this nature creates a stadium-like effect for your luxury outdoor wedding ceremony. Plus, it is also very efficient in terms of space.

This arrangement will work best in a large, open area with a natural slope or elevated area where guests can sit. If you do not have a place like this, you can create one by using rows of chairs on different levels. Be sure to provide stairs or a ramp so guests can quickly get to their seats.

4. Go Half Circle

Here, you have something similar to the full circle seating arrangement but on a smaller scale. Instead of seating all guests in a complete circle around the altar, only half of the guests can sit in a circle. The other half can sit in rows facing the circle.

The half-circle seating arrangement is best if the altar is in the center of the semi-circle. That way, all the guests will have a good view of the ceremony regardless of where they are seated.

You may want to consider the above arrangement if you have an extensive guest list and want to create an intimate setting that allows everyone to feel connected to the action.

5. Square Seating Plan

You can take a step further from the circular and traditional row settings by having a square seating arrangement for your luxury outdoor wedding ceremony. Seating your guests in four large square sections creates an open and airy feel.

Besides that, a square seating arrangement will create a relaxed setting since everyone will face each other. Consider seating your guests in a square seating position if you want them to interact and mingle with each other during the ceremony.

The key to making this seating arrangement work is to have enough space for four large sections. Be sure to leave enough space in the center of each square for guests to move around and get to their seats. You can also create aisles between the squares to make it easier for guests to find their way around the chairs.

6. Runway Style Seating Plan

To get this look, set up rows of chairs on either side of a long aisle leading up to the altar. This arrangement is similar to the traditional rows seating arrangement but with a more glamorous twist.

This type of seating works well for large weddings where you want to create an elegant and luxurious setting. In addition, it allows for a grand entrance as guests will be seated on either side of the aisle, leaving the center clear for the bride and groom to make their way up to the altar.

When setting up this type of seating, be sure to use chairs that are in keeping with the luxury theme of your wedding. For example, ornate white or translucent chairs would be a good option.

Runway Seating

7. Swirly Loop Seating Plan

Like the half-circle seating arrangement, the swirly loop seating offers a more dramatic and intimate setting. Here, chairs are arranged in a large circle winding up to an altar in the middle.

The main difference between this arrangement and the full-circle plan is that the chairs are not placed in straight rows. Instead, they are arranged in a swirl pattern, making a sizeable spiral appearance.

This type of seating is best suited for smaller weddings where you want to create an intimate and romantic setting. One great thing about this arrangement is that it offers a good view of the altar from every seat.

Also, because the chairs are arranged in a circle, there is no head table so everyone can mingle and interact.

Swirly loop seating also offers a good advantage for the celebrants as they move through the spiral while making their entrance. Such a great way to greet guests as you make your way to the altar!

Glam up this seating style with beautiful chairs and flowers to create a luxurious setting and have your guests swoon over your ceremony seating.

Swirly Loop Seating

8. Picnic Style Seating

This type of seating is becoming increasingly popular, especially for outdoor weddings. Seating your guests on blankets or rugs in an ample open space creates a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

To make this arrangement work, you must provide enough blankets or rugs for all your guests. Then, you can either place them in rows or a more random arrangement. Whichever way you arrange them, leave enough space between each blanket so guests can move around and get to their seats.

Picnic-style seating is best suited for smaller luxury outdoor weddings where you want to create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere. To incorporate class and luxury into the arrangement, use blankets or rugs that are in keeping with the theme of your wedding.

What to Consider Before Choosing an Outdoor Wedding Seating Plan

Suppose you want your seating arrangement to be perfect for your luxury outdoor wedding. In that case, there are a few things you need to take into account before making your final decision.

Here are some things to consider:

Size of your guest list

The number of guests attending your wedding will play a significant role in deciding which seating arrangement to choose. If you have many guests, you must select a structure that can accommodate everyone comfortably.

On the other hand, if you are having a smaller wedding, you have more freedom to choose a seating arrangement that is more intimate and unique.

Type of wedding event

The wedding you have will also dictate the kind of seating arrangement you choose. For example, a traditional seating arrangement such as rows or a half-circle would be more appropriate if you are having a simple garden wedding.

But a classic or modern-themed wedding would be better suited to a unique seating arrangement such as the swirly loop, a runway style, or a full or half circle seating position will be more fitting.

The comfort of your guests

You also need to consider the comfort of your guests when choosing a seating arrangement. For example, if you have an outdoor wedding in the summer, you will need to ensure enough shade for your guests to stay relaxed and comfortable.

Size of the venue

When considering your options for an outdoor seating arrangement, keeping the size of your venue in mind is essential. The size of your venue will play a significant role in deciding the type of seating arrangement you can have.

Suppose you have a large outdoor space. In that case, you have more flexibility and creativity regarding the type of seating arrangement you can have.

On the other hand, if you have a smaller outdoor space, you will need to be more selective with the type of seating arrangement you choose. The venue size can also dictate the number of guests you can accommodate in your preferred seating arrangement.

Final Thoughts

When it comes to wedding seating arrangements, there are many options. It all depends on the size of your wedding guests, your wedding theme, and the level of intimacy you want to achieve.

The key is to choose an arrangement that will work well with the space you have and the number of guests you have. Your guests are sure to enjoy your luxury outdoor wedding ceremony if you take the time to choose the perfect seating arrangement for them.

Be sure to consider the overall theme and style of your wedding when choosing a seating arrangement. And with so many different options at your fingertips, you will find the perfect way to seat your guests for your luxury outdoor wedding ceremony.

How To Plan A Luxury Outdoor Wedding

By Blog

Everyone wants to add something special to their wedding day. A wedding will form one of your life’s most important memories and mark new beginnings with someone extraordinary.

It is a moment you’ve probably been looking forward to for a while and must be memorable.

The fresh air, the connection with nature, and the sophisticated aesthetics associated with outdoor weddings are perfect.

You can do a lot with an outdoor wedding to keep it unique. Take advantage of countless themes to use alongside nature and beautiful scenery.

Outdoor weddings are also known for the best wedding photos, allowing you to preserve the magical day in vivid color.

However, nothing this perfect comes easy. Getting the right effect takes careful planning and a little skill. You will also have to outwit Mother Nature and contend with all the fauna and flora you will share the space with.

Planning outdoor weddings is not always an easy task, and that’s why we’re here to help.

Combining all the details of an outdoor wedding to get an outcome that fits your standards may quickly become a headache. You need to know where to begin mapping your journey and pinpoint the most important things to consider.

We have categorized everything you need to know into five basic aspects to consider when planning an outdoor wedding:

The Weather

Before you even consider what outdoor setting you will have your wedding in, you must consider the weather. Everything hinges on it.

Although there are several ways to track the weather with a level of accuracy, planning such a large-scale outdoor event needs extra care. The best strategy is to work with seasons. This is because seasons remain consistent over time, and you will be more confident about what kind of weather to expect.

Therefore, when considering the weather:

Think About Your Locality’s Climate

What do you have to work with? Do you live in a warm place or one prone to erratic weather? How dry is it? The climate varies wildly, but the patterns recorded over decades will help you know when you would be most conducive for an outdoor event.

For example, in the US you can work with the seasons. However, depending on where you live, you may need to worry about either sporadic rains or arid summers.

Consider the Best Months for Outdoor Wedding

After researching your area’s climate, you will narrow your options to the best months. Avoid months with extreme weather, such as sweltering summers or white winters.

The best way to work with the seasons in the US is to plan your outdoor wedding during early fall and summer.

These cover the months of April, May, June, September, and October. The main reason is that these periods have the mildest weather and the slightest chance of unpredictable, disruptive weather.

However, you can have an outdoor wedding in the middle of a hot summer. You will only have to invest in the proper shade, cooling, and air conditioning equipment, plus enough hydration.

The outfits will also have to be suitable for the weather, especially the bride’s wedding gown. The only thing that may still be a risk is a heat wave, but you will be able to find out about that in due time.

The same goes for any other season. Remember, it is your wedding. If you dream of a white winter wedding or one amongst the autumn leaves, go for it!

For such cases, the best strategy is to:

  • Track the weather a few days before. It will help you predict what to expect.
  • Inform your guests about how to dress and what to expect. For example, for beach weddings, remind them that they will be walking around on the sand and need appropriate shoes.
  • Always have shade and rain protection tents.
  • Make sure there will be no mud or excess dust. For example, choose a place with a lawn.

Bridal Party

Begin Planning and Booking Early for Your Outdoor Wedding

Finally, always start planning and booking early! Once you identify when you want your wedding, find available slots in venues that match the vision you have. Do not worry about being creative; there will always be a theme and appropriate decor to suit your wedding.

Consider having a backup plan too. For example, have an indoor venue right next to your outdoor venue. You will use this in case of any issues.

The Theme, Decor, and Scenery

After you have secured the venue of your dreams, the second biggest task that awaits is the aesthetics.

The outdoors is a unique environment with its distinctive palette of colors. You will not be dealing with walls and ceilings. There is also the texture of the ground to think about, plus the glare from the sun. And depending on your location, you will have beautiful scenery around the venue.

So, what are the best ways to work with your environment to get the best result? First, you need to find a suitable theme and colors so your theme compliments the natural surroundings.

Choosing the Right Theme and Colors

Before deciding on an overall theme, you should consider what your color palette is going to be. Here are a few simple rules to avoid having a color problem:

  • Avoid greens and blacks if your venue has a lot of green vegetation. Go for more vivid colors that contrast and complement green instead. You can choose from orange, yellow, or lavender. Also, avoid too many green flowers for your decor.
  • If your venue is going to be by the beach, bright colors are best. Consider bright pinks, teals, and yellows. Also, do not be shy to go with ocean or sky blues paired with whites or creams. Unlike with a greener venue, complementing the ocean will not blend you into the background.
  • Go with the season. Use summer wedding color schemes that comprise bright, bold, and cheerful colors. Oranges, yellows, and blues are perfect for this. Next, explore fall wedding color schemes, winter wedding color schemes, and so on.

The idea is to contrast or complement your surroundings. However, what colors you choose and how you blend them will depend heavily on what theme you are going for.

The best themes for a sophisticated and unforgettable outdoor wedding are classic, garden, and modern:

Classic Wedding Theme For Outdoor Wedding

A classic wedding theme is refined and elegant. It fits perfectly with outdoor settings because it is simple and easy to understand in a unique setting. Classic themes are created by:

  • Color palette with soft colors
  • Using luxe table linens
  • Fine china
  • Elaborate overhead lighting and intricate candelabras

For decor, stick to symmetrical, streamlined patterns and simplicity.

Wedding Tabletop

Garden Wedding Theme For Outdoor Wedding

This theme is the most natural for outdoor weddings, especially those in greener environments. For this theme to work, you do not necessarily have your wedding in a literal garden. However, if you want to use plants front and center for your decor, you are already creating the perfect garden theme.

Create elaborate floral flower tunnels, arched floral passages, and perfect green lawns. You can also use colorful flowers to separate the guests’ seats from the aisle.

Floral Arrangements

Modern Wedding Theme For Outdoor Wedding

The modern theme is about minimalism, clean geometric lines, and monochromatic color schemes. It is sleek and straightforward. It works well with eye-catching, scenic outdoor venues because it allows the observer to focus on the view. Modern themes aim for functionality and elegance, as opposed to attracting attention.

The theme can be as creative as you like; you do not have to confine yourself to these three! However, these will create a luxurious, elite, and sophisticated aesthetic.

Modern Wedding Tabletop

The Time of Day, Lighting, and Photography

In this category, we need to consider the following things:

The Best Time for Outdoor Weddings

Most outdoor weddings occur in the evenings, often starting at around 5 pm. However, evenings are popular because they are cooler, especially in the summer.

They also provide scenic backgrounds for dreamy photos while creating an ultra-romantic atmosphere.

  • Daytime weddings have a magic of their own. They create a feeling of optimism and positivity that brings a lot of good energy to the wedding.
  • Mid-morning is a popular time for daytime weddings, flowing naturally into a brunch or lunchtime reception.
  • Daytime weddings are perfect for beaches and bright floral gardens.

The Best Lighting for Outdoor Weddings

Your lighting for an outdoor event is part of the decor, especially if the event will take place at night. However, in addition to being beautiful, they must also provide sufficient lighting. Ensure the altar, meal tables, pathways, aisle, and guests’ seats are well lit.

Great lighting ideas for outdoor weddings include:

  • Colored spotlights
  • String lighting
  • Rope lighting
  • Lanterns
  • Suspended votives and chandeliers
  • Moving lights
  • Fairy lights

Outdoor Wedding Lighting

Providing electricity for outdoor weddings is another essential and often forgotten chore. First, ask the venue’s owners or relevant authorities if they have an electricity supply. If they do not, find out if you can get one to the venue.

How to Take Good Photos For Outdoor Weddings

The scenery provided by outdoor weddings creates some of the best wedding photos. You need to hire a photographer who knows how best to take them.

Capturing the scenery is another reason why proper lighting is essential. However, natural lighting should also be well managed. For example, the sun should not be behind the altar; it should also not be on either side of the aisle.

Instead, it would be best if the sun is behind the guests and facing the altar for everyone’s comfort, including the photographer.

A professional photographer will know how to navigate all of this, but you need to give them enough lighting to work with. It would be great to have extra lighting in case any modifications need to be made. You could also request the photographer to come with their lighting.

Professional Photographer

The Outfits and Washrooms

Next, you must ensure your guests are as comfortable as possible.

Inform them in detail about how they should dress, so they do not get too cold or too hot. For example, tell them what shoes would be best to wear.

It may be the first outdoor wedding for some of your guests, so they may not know what they must consider. However, coming to your wedding should not feel challenging, so make it as easy as possible for them.

Also, ensure several clean washrooms with running water, mirrors, and toilet paper. Position them a little farther off the main venue but not too far away.

The Environment

Taking care of the natural environment will be essential and should feature prominently on your to-do list. Here are three areas for you to consider

Noise

You should definitely hire event professionals with noise control systems to avoid causing disturbance to wildlife and the general public. However, trees, fences, and even moving water surrounding the event should be sufficient. Also, many venues already have noise barriers.

Pollution

Make sure there are bins everywhere for people to dispose of their trash and clean up materials in case someone spills or pours something by mistake.

Final Thoughts

Remember that these are only five areas for you to structure your wedding planning around, not a set of rules. You can switch them up as much as you like or add to them. But with this foundation, you will have the outdoor wedding of your dreams.
