THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Structures such as pavilions or huts are in place in many venues across the UK, in which you can carry out the ceremony. There are also places that get special licenses such as treehouses and beach huts, allowing you to achieve your dream of an outdoor wedding.

In the UK, you can only marry under a fixed structure with a roof. This could be anything from a veranda to a bandstand, but you cannot legally be married in something like a marquee, however you can have a blessing in a location of your choice and be legally married at a later date.

A good reason to have an outdoor wedding, is that is works for all numbers. Whether you want a small and intimate ceremony or a huge party, you are free to do as you wish, depending on your budget. It is also easy to personalise an outdoor space with any theme.

A yurt is more robust and stable than a marquee and offers a larger inside area which is suitable for weddings, especially in the months when the weather is uncertain. Some yurts even have interior wood-burning stoves and comfy seating areas, making them perfectly cosy for outdoor weddings when the evenings turn cooler.

An outdoor wedding gives you the opportunity to deviate from the formal meal, especially if you are holding the ceremony in an open barn or a marquee. A buffet-style set up will work perfectly and will help to add to the relaxed feel of a rustic wedding. This could also work out cheaper on the catering side, as wedding breakfasts can be expensive depending on the type of venue you would like.

An outdoor wedding is not the best idea in the colder months of the year but you can get around this by providing blankets or having a bonfire, providing that your venue is permitted to do this. Of course, the weather could be a problem, so you could provide umbrellas or sunglasses if you are planning an evening ceremony when the sun is setting. This will make sure that your guests don’t miss anything due to squinting.

It is important to inform your guests that most of your wedding ceremony will be outdoors, as it allows them to dress appropriately and be prepared for all weathers. Make sure that your invitation is descriptive so that it is obvious that you have an outdoor theme and advise your friends and family that jackets, wraps and umbrellas may be necessary.
