We celebrate outdoor weddings with a host of tips and tricks from the experts T he summer’s here and we’re celebrating all things outdoors with a look into al fresco wedding days. Blessed with some of the UK’s most beautiful countryside here in Sussex, local wedding venues offer some truly wonderful green settings for you to make the most of. Although staring at the totally blank canvas of an empty marquee or field may be slightly overwhelming at first, arm yourself with inspiration aplenty and you’ll soon be able to build the open-air day of your dreams. So, we asked the county’s suppliers from all areas of wedding expertise to lend us their exciting ideas with top tips to get you started out on the right foot. Al fresco fiesta “Use your colour scheme and fabrics to reflect the season and nature around you. Incorporate it into statement decoration pieces like balloon structures and arches which make great focal points.” – Chloe Potter, Co-ordination Event Hire “Outside means it’s your wedding, your way, which is just how I like it. Anything goes, but if the sheer volume of choice becomes overwhelming seek help, most venues can recommend professionals they’ve worked with in the past.” – Merie Brown, Orange Rose Ceremonies www.ann amariestepney.co.uk Luna And The Lane www.sho tgunweddings.co Bridal Hair Company www.elen apopa.com Coordination Event Hire https kirstymackenziephotography.co.uk To Have and to Hire https kirstymackenziephotography.co.uk To Have and to Hire www.vpa rker.photo Orange Rose Ceremonies 57 OUTDOOR WEDDINGS
