10 tips for a destination wedding in Vietnam

If you and your partner have decided to choose an outdoor wedding, congratulations! An outdoor wedding party will be really romantic and wonderful. A destination wedding usually comes up with some unforeseen risks; however, if the organizers pay close attention to the 10 following points, Bliss Wedding in Vietnam will ensure that your wedding party will be completed and the couple will enjoy the destination wedding to the fullest.

Some tips for a destination wedding

1. Make sure your guests are comfortable

Pay attention to the weather on the day you organize your wedding (including the season of the year and the time of day) when holding destination wedding. Is the weather mild or sunny? Do not leave your guests melting under the sun: arrange service staff or ushers at the table to bring cold water for the guests any time. You can also print your wedding program or menu on a fan so that your guests can use that fan to cool themselves while observing your wedding.

If the weather is too sunny, remind the guests to apply sunscreen. The organizers can also rent tents to block the sunlight or install large electric fans. In case the weather is a bit cold or damp, please make sure your guests stay warm.

2. Have a backup plan

What would you do if it suddenly rain? A destination wedding will be ideal if there is an indoor location as a backup. Some couples even arrange outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.

Using tent is also a good option, but you must ensure that the tent is sturdy and secure.

3. Plan for wind

The most common problem threatening an outdoor wedding is big wind. Brides should avoid wearing lightweight fabrics like chiffons or silks and so do their bridesmaids. Couples also have to tell the make-up artist or hairstylist that it is an outdoor wedding so he/she can choose an appropriate style for you. Guests at the party should also be advised (in their wedding invitations, for example) about the costumes and hairstyles for the outdoor wedding. Male guests can use hair wax to keep their hair style, or female guests should choose a suitable hair style for a windy day.

4. Make sure everyone can hear you

When planning a romantic destination wedding, you may not realize the sound of the waves, the wind, or the screaming children playing around you. Those sounds will hinder the attention of people for the couple on the stage. You should test the sound system installed at the wedding to ensure that the host and the couple can communicate clearly and easily with the audience.

5. Decorate the wedding

One of the biggest advantages of outdoor weddings is the nature around the venue. Although you can rely on the available natural conditions to decorate, you still have to ensure that the lawn has been cut and the ground is flat and cleaned. If there are big trees at the venue, you may think of hanging decorations like ribbons, led lights, lanterns on the branches.

6. Does the food taste good?

Wedding planners or caterers should ensure food is not spoiled outdoors. Avoid some dishes like salads with mayonnaise or dishes which must be served cold.

7. Be diversified!

Alcoholic drinks such as beer, alcohol can make the guests dehydrated; or some guests do not like these drinks. Let’s serve more kinds of drink such as tea, lemonade, soft drinks or cocktails. Also remember to arrange staff at every table to serve food, drinks for your guests.

8. External factors

Think of options to control insects like mosquito repellents. Let make sure that your guests won’t spend the whole wedding party slapping those mosquitoes!

9. The sun is coming!

It is extremely great if you hold a destination wedding at sunset. The warm, glowing sunset will be a perfect backdrop for the couple’s vows. For a daytime wedding party, make sure that the sunlight is on the guests’ backs.

10. Ask for permission to hold an outdoor wedding

If you're organizing you destination wedding in a resort or a specialized place for wedding ceremony, don’t worry. However, if you organize your wedding at the beach, the park or any other public places, please remember to contact the managers at that place for the permission to hold a wedding.
