Tying the knot in an outdoor location can bring an added touch of romance and beauty to your big day and create a stunning backdrop for the wedding albums.But wherever you are getting married in a park, on a beach or in your own backyard, a good amount of forward planning will ensure things run smoothly.

Permits

Maybe you've always known you would get married at your favorite beach – but are you sure you are legally able to do so? Make sure you look into necessary permits before going ahead with the rest of your wedding planning. These rules may also affect food, drink, candles, flowers and taking pictures for the wedding photo albums.

Backup plan

Make sure you have a backup plan in case the weather tries to play havoc with your big day. Consider a tent, covered picnic area or nearby indoor location that can accommodate all of your guests.

Consider guests' requirements

Think about the mobility and needs of your guests. Will they have to walk long distances to reach the ceremony? Will they need chairs? Is there access to bathrooms? If it will be a hot day, will there be fans to cool the crowd? Also think about guests who may be hard-of-hearing and whether you will need to rent a sound system.

Incorporate natural beauty

To create the memorable images to enjoy in your wedding photo albums for years to come, use your surroundings wisely. For example, you may want to say your vows under a large tree, near a pond or in a clearing that has a view of the sunset. Use tree branches for hanging lights and paving stones for placing votives. You may want to visit your chosen location on a few different occasions to determine if certain areas are likely to be windy or too bright on the big day.
