Outdoor Wedding Details 
Did you know that most outdoor wedding venues have minimum hours depending on the day of the week? You can lower your venue rental fee by booking any day except for Saturday.
Flowers
Keep it simple. This will actually add to the wow factor. Think in terms of where you want the most impact, i.e. outdoor wedding arbor, bridal bouquets, etc. Place floral decor on every other table and add other decor pieces that relay the theme for your special event. Also, choosing blooms in season will help trim the floral decor budget.
Desserts
It is not necessary to serve other sweets and treats, if you are serving a wedding cake and most likely, a groom’s cake. According to Cynthia Summers with The Bakery Box, “Plan for 60% of your guests to eat cake if beer and wine is being served. That drops down to 40% if mixed drinks are also served. If alcohol is not being served, then have enough for your rsvp count. Very few pieces of cake are left to box up when alcohol is not served.” Click the link to check out her gorgeous cake pictures Bakery Box Facebook Page
Entertainment
More times than not, a DJ will be more cost effective than a live band. You need someone to announce and who better to MC at the reception with their larger than life personality?
Food Options at Outdoor Wedding Venues are endless!
Plated dinners can get pricey with the extra waitstaff needed. Buffets are one of the most popular ways to serve food. Give your guests options with a buffet, plus it is cost effective. Consider a food truck – currently growing in popularity. This option will save you money on food and rentals. Win Win!
Ultimately, after considering your options; consider your priorities. What is most important to you? What will make the biggest impact to make your event at your wedding venue memorable?
