While outdoor wedding trends are always coming and going, wanting an unforgettable day is a universal experience shared by generations of the past, present, and future. We have compiled a list of timeless ideas to make your special day as unique and memorable as possible.
Current Trends
For most people, choosing one specific theme or style can be stressful and difficult. Rather than trying to nail down one very specific theme, try mixing in some similar styles. Not only will this make the process easier for you, but it can also add more personality to your wedding’s design.
For example, mixing farmhouse and boho elements can have a beautiful outcome and be more true to your character than one or the other!
Here are some fun wedding trend options from different styles that you might consider incorporating:
– Fun lights – Outdoor games (Jenga, cornhole, etc.) – Pillow seating – Rug “aisle” – Compostable confetti poppers – Vintage windows as decoration
S’mores bar
Including a s’mores bar can be a fun way to start relaxing the evening after the reception. This might even take the place of a regular bar if alcohol is not your thing. Not everyone likes to drink, but the same cannot be said about eating s’mores.
You will need to check with your venue to see if they allow fire first, but our team here was more than happy to help pull off the one pictured!
Projector Screen
Throughout the night, ask your guests to snap photos using The Knot’s photo-sharing app. When the sun finally goes down, sit back with your guests and watch the night’s highlights on a projector screen. Reliving those special moments together can be a great way to start closing out the night.
The Big Getaway
As the happiest day of your life comes to an end, give yourself the pleasure of going out with a bang. You will never forget driving away from your reception, and neither will your guests as this is the last time they will see you before returning as a married couple.
Here are some fun ideas for driving away from your guests in style:
– Keeping it classic with a traditional wedding? Drive away in a classic car. – Having a water-side wedding? Sail away in a boat – Going for a classy Tuscan vibe? Ride away on a moped – Having a rustic farmhouse or Victorian-style wedding? Trot away in a horse and buggy – Need a budget option that you can still make your own? Rent a golf cart and decorate it however you’d like!
We hope you incorporate some of these fun ideas into your special day or even consider working with some of our recommended outdoor wedding vendors and our venue at The Texas Relay Station Event Center to help put together the wedding of your dreams.
