Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - May/June 2019 (Issue 45)

Our experts tackle your wedding worries HOT TOPIC UNDER CANVAS What factors do we need to take into account when planning our outdoor wedding? There’s so much to organise! Roanna says: The most important thing to remember is that the day should be completely and utterly yours. Your wedding is all about celebrating your next journey as a couple, so don’t get caught up with ‘must-haves’ and ‘can’t-do-withouts.’ Seek advice from your tipi or marquee hire company. They should be able to offer you some great tips on the most picturesque locations, enabling you to grab those Instagrammable photo opportunities against stunning backdrops. You can also pick their brains for recommendations for other wedding suppliers. They’ll have worked with plenty on a regular basis and will have a wealth of contacts, knowledge and experience of everything from florists, caterers and bars to entertainment, photographers and videographers. You’ll also need to think about the weather. Do you have all of your practical utilities covered? You’ll need to see that your guests are warm and comfortable, no matter what the forecast has in store. A dedicated tipi or marquee hire company will work tirelessly to ensure the layout is planned to perfection. So be prepared to share endless pics, videos and configurations with them. Don’t be afraid to contact them any time to make any last minute adjustments either, they’re there to help and will guide you through the process. Roanna Williams | tipiunique.com 94
