5 Reasons to Have an Outdoor Glamping Wedding
In recent years, outdoor weddings in the UK have become a growing trend, and it’s easy to see why. With an outdoor wedding, you can make your big day your own and create a day that totally suits you, with charming, unique details that represent you as a couple.
Tie the knot in the heart of the glorious English countryside, surrounded by nature with the golden sun shining down on you like a spotlight. Bring your nearest and dearest together for a fantastic day you’ll all remember for years. Keep reading to discover our top five reasons to host an outdoor wedding!
1) Breath-Taking Natural Scenery
When hosting your big day, what better backdrop could you ask for than the jaw-dropping English countryside? Surround yourself with towering trees and blossoming flowers as the sun shines down on you and your guests from the crystal-clear blue sky. The natural environment adds its own beauty and vibrancy to your outdoor wedding, so you might need very little additional décor – a plus if you’re on a budget or want to keep things simple and fuss-free!
2) Stunning Wedding Photos
Not only will the natural countryside surroundings provide you and your guests with a stunning backdrop; the scenic landscapes and natural lighting also offer the perfect space for those all-important photographs at your outdoor wedding which can be cherished forever.
As the sun sits high in the sky, your daytime photos will have a gorgeous natural glow lit by Mother Nature herself. As the evening draws in and the sun stars to set, the sky will turn into a magical watercolour painting of pinks and oranges, making an epic backdrop for more memorable photos. Don’t forget to take advantage of that flattering golden hour light!
3) Luxury Glamping Accommodation
When you’re hosting an outdoor glamping wedding, an added bonus is that there’s ample room for all your guests to stay overnight, without sacrificing any home comforts. You can all party the night away until the early hours and then cosy up in your luxury glamping accommodation under the twinkling stars. There’s no need to worry about booking taxis; and what’s more, you’ll even wake up the following morning to the smell of breakfast sizzling away on the BBQ!
4) Celebrate All Weekend Long
Why spend months, if not years, planning your outdoor wedding, only for it to be over in one day? With a glamping wedding, it’s never been easier to make your special moment last longer and celebrate with your loved ones for several days. For example, you could choose to let your guests arrive the day before and enjoy a relaxing night under the stars before the festivities begin. That way, they’ll be well rested and ready for the exciting day ahead without worrying about travelling to the venue on the day of the wedding. You could also plan other activities for the day before or after your wedding, like fun outdoor games, walks, evenings around the firepit, and home cooked meals. It’s like taking your favourite people on holiday whilst celebrating a momentous occasion all at once!
5) Spend Quality Time with Your Loved Ones
Weddings are usually frantic days, and the happy couple’s interactions with their guests are usually limited to a quick hug followed by a hasty exchange of “congratulations” and “thank you for coming.” Wouldn’t it be nice to have more time to really connect with your guests, spend quality time with them, and make memories that will last a lifetime?
An outdoor glamping wedding makes this much easier, as guests can easily stay with you over a weekend. Show your appreciation for their attendance on your big day, especially if they’ve travelled a long way to get there. You’ll have the opportunity to greet them on arrival, catch up over dinner, and have plenty of fun together taking part in outdoor games and activities.
All the pressure of getting around to everyone during the reception will be long gone and you can focus on soaking up the atmosphere of your big day and cherishing every moment!
