I’m curious to hear from couples who have planned an outdoor wedding. What’s one thing you wish you had known or prepared for beforehand?
I've been to a few outdoor weddings, and the biggest takeaway for me is: always have a solid Plan B. Weather, wind, and lighting are much harder to control outdoors, so confirming a rain backup, tent, and heating/cooling plan with the venue ahead of time makes a huge difference. Also, test the sound system and microphones in advance — wind can easily make speeches impossible to hear.
