Weather ~ A contingency plan for rain or sun is not a bad idea, especially in an area where Summer showers are possible or Summer heat is just un-bearable. Tents, Umbrellas and Fans are items to put on your list to consider. If you plan to utilize a grassy area, be sure your guess are aware of the environment. This will allow them to dress appropriately for the event.

Invitations ~ Your invitations should include any information that your guests will need for dressing or any information regarding what you will provide your guest to be comfortable in this outdoor setting such as, sunglasses, sunscreen, pest repellent etc.

Caterer ~ When selecting your caterer be sure they are experienced with preparing foods not only for weddings, but for outdoor weddings. The menu has to be able to accommodate the climate. And be sure to have plenty of water available.

Other considerations ~ Apply for permits, permission or other regulations you need and check that electricity, accessibility, parking, capacity and other amenities you will need are available.

Always take into account the natural elements that surround the location. Sometimes you really don't need much decor when you are already surrounded by natural beauty.

Flower Girls -
What a big responsibility for such a young girl, but mostbauman photographer flower girls, just love the limelight!

The flower girl is chosen by the Bride and Groom and usually a very special person close to thier heart. The flower girl is chosen to walk down the aisle right before the Bride and following the ring bearer or sometimes they will walk together for support.

Parents of the flower girl have the responsibility of dressing and explaining the expected duties of the flower girl to the young child. Depending on what the bride decides for the flower girl to do, whether it be scattering flower pedals down the aisle or just holding flowers as a pomander (a ball of flower), the parents will agree to see the flower girl through the sequence of events. Once the flower girl and parents agree to be part of the wedding party, the parents are now included in all the pre-wedding festivities, such as wedding rehearsal and wedding rehearsal dinner. They will care for and watch over the flower girl throughout the ceremony. It becomes their responsibility to make sure the flower girl is ready for pre-ceremony pictures, and to walk down the aisle.

Practice makes perfect, so the parents will want to practice with the young child to make sure she is fully aware of here responsibilities. Parents will want to bring a “flower girl emergency kit” (Non-messy snack, hand wipe, favorite toy, extra hair pins etc.), somewhat like the brides “emergency kit”. Story Continues Here
