Outdoor Wedding Venue Ideas
When planning your wedding, you want everything to be perfect. This is why you have to think about every detail, including the weather, location, catering, etc. This is especially important if you’re planning to have an outdoor wedding, because there’s much less you can control. With that in mind, here are a few wedding venue ideas for your perfect outdoor wedding.
The Beach
The beach is probably one of the most popular wedding venues, and it’s not hard to see why. There aren’t many more beautiful settings than the sea and sandy shore. Just keep in mind that not all dresses can work for a beach wedding; opt for something a bit airier that also allows for plenty of movement. Moreover, a veil near the sea might not be the best idea because it can be quite difficult to control in the wind. Speaking of wind, it’s not uncommon for evenings at the beach to become windy and chilly, so make sure to have a backup plan in case the weather changes. Finally, be aware of the potential noise at the beach, and make sure to prepare a quality sound system, so your guests can actually hear your vows.
Central Park
If you’re from the US and thinking of eloping to New York, consider having your wedding in one of the most iconic and beautiful parks in the world. Central Park has many different venue options, from the romantic Shakespeare’s Garden that is filled with gorgeous flowers, to Wagner’s Cove that is perfect for a more intimate wedding. One thing is for sure, Central Park has some of the most amazing views, and most of the outdoor wedding ideas can be turned into a reality in this park. However, if your wedding destination is nowhere near your hometown, don’t forget to inform your guests in time, and help them with the traveling and accommodation details as much as you can.
Hotel
If you already have a destination in mind, consider holding your wedding party in a boutique hotel that already has everything you’d need for a perfect wedding – including a scenic garden. Organizing your wedding in a beautiful outdoor wedding venue in Sydney means that you’d have much less to worry about when it comes to catering, seating options, bathrooms, etc. Therefore, you’d be able to focus on the details that would make your wedding truly yours. Just make sure to do your research, as you want to choose a hotel that has experience with weddings, especially if you’re planning a bigger party.
Your Own Back Yard
Sometimes, you don’t have to go far to find the best outdoor wedding venue. If you have a big backyard, you can organize a wedding at home as well. First, make sure there actually is enough space for all your guests. Next, as always, keep the weather in mind – rent a tent or canopy in case of rain, and make sure there is plenty of shade in case of warmer weather. Also, adjust your food choices to the setting, whether you’ll be ordering pre-prepared food or making barbecue in the yard. Finally, keep in mind the size of your wedding in case you need to rent some portable toilets, extra supplies, chairs, etc.
Organizing an outdoor wedding can be a challenge, especially since you have to take into consideration things that you cannot really control, like the elements. This is why you should start planning in advance, be well prepared in case of rain, and always have a backup plan in case the weather simply does not allow you to be outside. By doing your research and organizing everything on time, you can rest assured that your wedding will be one of the most memorable days of your life. Written by Lifestyle Blogger @GeorgiaSelih 
Spending your honeymoon in the Caribbean is an awesome idea. It is the first vacation you spend with your partner as a married couple. Like any vacation, you should start with a proper plan and not leave anything to chance.
Here are the 5 easy steps to have a great Caribbean honeymoon: 1. Plan ahead of time. Planning your Caribbean honeymoon should not come second to planning your wedding. They should be planned in conjunction with each other. Research online, ask for the assistance of a travel agent and read travel magazines. This will give you an idea where to go and will help you decide what particular Caribbean destinations you should see. Check out the reviews of the different Caribbean hotels or resorts. User reviews will let you know what prior guests have experienced while expert reviews will inform you of the pros and cons. Find the best hotel or resort you can afford. Here, you must decide what type of accommodation you would get. Make sure you can afford your honeymoon or if not, have your honeymoon registry ready. 2. Secure your destination. Having planned early, you should have made up your mind where or what hotel or resort you will stay. Have it fixed but give yourself a second and third option if your original plan fails. The thing is: you should have determined where and when to go. You should also have determined what to do when you get there. 3. Book early. Normally, a good 6-8 month prior to your departure booking will let you have the access to great discounts and special rates. Another thing is, many Caribbean hotels and resorts sell out early especially during the wedding season. 4. Prepare all your documents. Have your passport and other travel documents ready months in advance. Take note that you are, at the same time, preparing for your wedding and it is assumed that you are very busy with several engagements and appointments. Have a week to prepare for all of these. Travel documents should not be neglected. 5. Don’t forget to confirm. Weeks before your scheduled Caribbean honeymoon make sure you call your travel agent and confirm all your flight and reservations. Don’t forget to do this so that you can avoid any problems the day of your departure. Doing this would also give you enough time to make changes if there are any. Reconfirm days before your departure. Make sure you remember these steps and you will have a bigger chance of a smooth and hassle-free Caribbean honeymoon. We would love to hear your thoughts.

A perfect wedding isn't only beautiful, it's personal. It has carefully selected details that are meaningful to you and your fiancé. Here are some very simple ways to add your own subtle, unique touches to your ceremony and reception:
Write your own wedding vows. It doesn't have to read like poetry; the important thing is that it comes from your own heart. Print it out on an index card and keep it handy during the ceremony. Compile a CD with songs that symbolize your relationship or how it evolved. Play this during your reception or even burn a copy and distribute as souvenirs. Insert a small piece of paper explaining why you chose those songs. Instead of tossing your bouquet, present it to your mother (or a dear friend or mentor) during your reception. You can also have an additional bouquet made for your partner to also present to someone at the same time. Compile in a scrapbook. Guests often have free time on their hands during their reception. In the centre of the table, place several pens and small pieces of paper in a pretty basket. Ask them to write their wishes, prayers, or advice for you and your fiancé. Most wedding reception programs revolve around the couple: friends give speeches. Do something for the guests. Make a video of you and your fiancé talking about the people who've taught you what true love means. Mention friends who've demonstrated real loyalty, or family members who made great sacrifices for you. Intersperse your video with their photos. This is your chance to say thank you to all of them. If you have a close friend or family member who passed away, make him or her part of the occasion by inserting a small photo in your bouquet, or lighting a tribute candle at the ceremony. If you have ethnic roots, incorporate a marriage ritual from your culture into your ceremony or perform it during your reception. Wear an heirloom. For example, you can use your grandmother ís veil, or wear a locket that belongs to your mother. This is an excellent way of creating a sense of continuity between generations, celebrating your own family even as you go on to begin your own. Prepare an audio-video presentation that will be played during the parents dances. This can be just a simple montage of childhood photos. A guaranteed tear-jerker! If you have kids, help them feel like they're part of the new family by asking them to stand next to you as you say your vows. Add little elements that say something about your relationship as a couple. For example, if you're giving away picture frames, insert a poem that you wrote or a copy of your wedding vows. If you met at a beach (and would rather not have a beach-themed wedding) incorporate shells into your table centrepiece. I would love to hear your thoughts. Please feel free to comment below.

Your Wedding Theme
Whether it’s a traditional, formal or off-the-beaten-track wedding, you’re putting the whole event together yourself by planning its every phase. These days, with so much available on the Internet, it’s easy! All you need is some time and a clear idea of the feeling you want to get across.
Start with a theme and you’ll have a coherent image you can use throughout the entire wedding. You may be surprised, in fact, how potent just a word or concept can be, once applied as your marriage theme. Love angels, for example? What could be more perfect than finding ways to incorporate angels in every phase of your wedding? From the flowers to the guest favours to the vows, you can find a way to carry out the theme through the entire event. Is it to be a casual wedding of two Renaissance types? The Renaissance theme is compatible with the wedding ritual, and makes for an unforgettable event. Getting married on February the fourteenth? Hearts and flowers are perhaps the most traditional and best beloved of all wedding themes! When you’re planning your wedding, save time to choose the music with care. Get together with whoever is providing the music and talk about the right pieces for the two of you. There is nothing that sets the tone like music, and your wedding music will live in your memories for the rest of your lives. The rings, the vows, the wardrobe all the choices you must make to create an intimately personal expression of your love, are made so much easier by following a theme. But the idea behind it all is what counts. You can choose one word to describe the spirit you wish to be your wedding, as if the coming together of two hearts creates a separate entity with one quality. Is it joy? Is it contentment? Is it a giddy, bubbly, mirthful adoration? Pick a word or a phrase and keep it in mind. It’ll tie everything together and make the experience more perfect. And your wedding theme can become a foundation throughout your marriage. For your wedding. For each other. For your life. Please feel free to comment below.

Getting Married On The Beach
Destination DJ XTC
Depending on the weather, a beach wedding can be a unique and memorable occasion that has flair and casualness yet retains the romantic aspect of the freedom of being able to get away to the beach and do as you please. It is also an opportunity to have a wedding that people will remember without the expense that is associated with booking a reception venue and the other expenses that go hand in hand with more formal weddings. You will need to choose a location where you will be able to have your wedding ceremony without the intrusion of outsiders who could affect your plans and there are other factors that you need to consider including who your guests will be and how they will cope with the conditions as some elderly guests might find it a little bit difficult on the beach. There are of course always solutions to these problems and most of them are relatively cheap. If you are living in an area where there are beautiful beaches within a reasonable distance from yourself, your friends and your family then it is well worth considering a beach wedding because the beach in itself will add beauty to the occasion. If you cannot rely 100% on the weather then you will need to look at alternative venues should the weather make it unsuitable for you to have your beach wedding. You will also need to consider the tide times and whether or not there will be sufficient room on the beach for the wedding party to perform the ceremony suitably. Like any other venue good planning and preparation will make all the difference on the day and even though a beach wedding is a very casual affair there is still certain planning that needs to go into ensuring that there won't be any problems with that particular setup. www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram 
The image of nuptials on a tropical beach on the warm sand is a fantastic wedding picture. Having your closest friends and family multiplies that pretty picture to a masterpiece that many couples dream of. Being a mobile wedding dj for over 30 years I have come across many different scenarios that might not be considered when looking to hire a Toronto destination wedding DJ.
As with any of my potential clients I always suggest meeting with your wedding professional . If it a large company that has several different wedding DJs make sure that you are able to meet the dj that will be responsible for YOUR specific wedding. If you are unable to have face-to-face meeting there are still several internet streaming options such as Skype. If you have met with your Toronto wedding dj the next step should be the music. For instance you should always book a professional event dj that specializes in all the music that you , your partner , your family and your guest will want to hear. In my biased opinion there is NOTHING more important than the right music for your ceremony, dinner , cocktails and reception. Leaving that up to a CD or iPod playlist is really setting yourself up for failure. The cost of hiring a Toronto destination wedding Dj is a bit different than a local one. Locally the dj will have their transportation budgeted into you pricing . For a destination wedding a couple will be responsible for flight , transportation and a minimum one to two night stay at the resort. Another cost that is sometimes forgotten is the cost of equipment. Your local Toronto wedding DJ has the same weight restrictions that you do so they won’t be able to bring all of their wedding dj equipment when they travel. They may have previously worked at you destination wedding venue and have procedures in place but usually it is clients responsibility to secure the equipment for the ceremony and reception. There are wedding destination resorts that sometimes inflate the pricing for use of their equipment. Be wary and have a contract to avoid any hidden fees. When you are looking for an experienced destination wedding dj feel free to consider me We would love to hear your thoughts. www.djxtc.net Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram Photo Credit |
