To help give you some advice, we spoke to SASS Surprise Singers (www.sasssurprisesingers.co.uk). Outdoor weddings are undeniably magical and the right entertainment can take the experience to the next level. Live performances don’t just create a memorable atmosphere; they heighten emotions and bring your vision to life. Here are our top tips to ensure your outdoor wedding entertainment is a hit: Choose versatile entertainment: Opt for performers who can adapt to your venue’s space and weather conditions. At SASS Surprise Singers, we pride ourselves on being completely wireless, allowing us to move seamlessly through outdoor settings and interact with your guests effortlessly. Elevate the atmosphere: Whether it’s our wedding singers serenading you during the ceremony or our surprise singing waitresses re-energising your reception, live entertainment adds a lively and personal touch.

Always have a contingency plan for sudden weather changes. Don’t stress about your singing waiters; we can adapt and keep the celebrations running smoothly, no matter where the party moves. With the right planning and the perfect entertainment, your outdoor wedding will be as seamless and special as you’ve always dreamed. Choose entertainment that brings the music, joy and energy that will leave your guests talking about your wedding for years to come. FLORAL WONDERS Eco-friendly floral designer Dorina Mag from Dorothy Seed (www.dorothyseed.com) shares her tips for creating a beautiful outdoor celebration. Are you a lover of the outdoors, dreaming of celebrating your wedding surrounded by your loved ones and the beauty of nature? If so, here are three tips to help you embrace the magic of an outdoor wedding while staying prepared for the unpredictable British weather. Embrace the season and all it has to offer: Choose a season that speaks to you – whether it’s the fresh blooms of spring, the vibrant colours of summer, the golden hues of autumn or the crisp beauty of winter. Let the natural surroundings inspire your décor and floral arrangements, incorporating seasonal elements to create harmony between your celebration and its environment. Always have a backup plan: Unpredictable weather is part of any outdoor wedding. Having a solid plan B is essential to ensure your day runs smoothly. A stretch tent can provide cover during the ceremony, protecting your guests from rain or sun. For the reception, consider a marquee or tipi or choose a venue with indoor options. This flexibility allows you to repurpose spaces, such as transforming a marquee from a ceremony setup to a reception area while guests enjoy canapés indoors. Florals that can be moved easily: Ask your florist to design arrangements that can be easily transferred between locations. Look for a florist who stays on-site to ensure your flowers look stunning in every setting, regardless of weather changes. Adaptable floral designs will allow you to enjoy your blooms across all parts of your celebration. With these tips, you can plan an unforgettable outdoor wedding that blends natural beauty, thoughtful preparation and creative design! www.thomasroberts.cymru www.oacphotography.com www.angharadthomasphotography.co.uk www.colinnichollsphotography.com www.colinnichollsphotography.com www.colinnichollsphotography.com
