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!
Don’t let the Great British
weather put you off having your dream, outdoor wedding! Get in touch with
Morton’s Event Hire if you would like to discuss adapting your marquee for your
big day.
