Outdoor Wedding Design
Wind, ground, sun angle and the design decisions they dictate.
The WedCanada Collective
An outdoor wedding in Canada is a conversation with the weather. The couples who enjoy theirs most are the ones who plan for that conversation rather than hoping to avoid it.
Start with the sun. Know where it will be at ceremony time and face your guests away from it. Then consider the ground: lawns soften after rain, so plan flooring for dancing and paths for heels. Wind changes everything from candles to veils, so ask your designer for weighted pieces and enclosed lanterns.
A tent should be part of the design rather than an emergency. Clear tops in summer, sidewalls ready for an evening chill, heaters for September, and lighting that makes the canopy glow after dark. When the backup looks this good, the forecast stops being a worry.
