Preparing for your big day, whatever the conditions

We all know too well how unpredictable the weather can be, what do you do to prepare for all weather scenarios on your wedding day? Today, we have invited Hollie from Morton’s Event Hire to help you prepare for your big day, whatever the conditions.

A common misconception is that only the spring and summer months are the right time for an outdoor wedding. They come with more hope of sunshine, which is ideal for guests who don’t want to bring an extra layer to stay warm throughout the day. Whilst this is true, unfortunately if you live in the UK, you will understand the unpredictability of the weather and how often, it’s bad. Even in the ‘summer’ months now, you are likely to see rain and plans can be destroyed. Autumn and winter weddings are paving the way to be the new ‘wedding season’ and adapting them to become weather appropriate is one of the things we do best at Morton’s Event Hire.

Weddings are changing and every year we see a new batch of trends. With rustic and bohemian woodland style weddings becoming ever popular, they are paving the way to brave the cooler months and maximise the autumnal colours and outdoors vibe. With the weather in mind, recruiting a marquee means you have the freedom of being outside but with the luxury of not taking a potential shower in your wedding dress.

Our marquees offer versatility and act as a great way to transform your venue to match the weather conditions with a few simple tricks:

Décor:

The idea of an autumnal, rustic wedding comes from more than just the weather outside. The décor you include inside the marquee is just as important to providing the autumn and winter vibes. Think leaves, fruit centre pieces, pinecone name settings and wooden signage to name a few. Taking the nature outside and bringing it inside the marquee can instantly transform it into an enchanting woodland, perfect for the setting!

Lighting:

With colder weather comes darker nights and so lighting is important. Without it, your guests will be plunged into darkness before you even dish up the first course! Fairy lights, uplighters, star cloth lining and chandeliers are all within our calibre and can instantly create a magical feel to the marquee, allowing you to party all night long!

Keeping warm:

Perhaps the most important way to adapt your wedding – adding in the warmth that the outdoors lacks! Autumn and winter weddings can be a thing of beauty, but chattering teeth and shivering bodies may not. The answer is simple, add 1 or 2 of our heaters to your marquee package and you will stay warm for the duration of the wedding! Bringing in large blankets and cushions for guests to curl up in, also provides a cosy vibe!
