You\u2019ll probably\u00a0need electricity (for the caterers, the DJ, fans or lighting, etc.),\u00a0which is not usually found in nature. Find out if you need to rent\u00a0a generator.<\/p>\n<p>Bugs and outdoor weddings go hand in hand. But\u00a0you can take measures to alleviate the worst of the problem. You\u00a0may want to hire an exterminator to spray the day before the wedding.\u00a0Citronella candles add shimmer and also help keep bugs at bay.<\/p>\n<h2>Decorations<\/h2>\n<p>At an outdoor wedding, Mother Nature provides\u00a0most of the decorations \u2014 trees, flowers, a view of a lake\u00a0or a hilltop vista. But you may want to embellish a bit. Many couples\u00a0opt for a beautiful wedding arch to provide a focal point for the\u00a0ceremony. The arch can be left simple and unadorned, or can be swathed\u00a0in flowers and ribbons to match those carried by the wedding party.\u00a0An arch dripping with flowers also provides a wonderful backdrop\u00a0for wedding photos. Coordinate the arch with raised planters sprouting\u00a0matching flowers and you\u2019ll add enchantment to an already\u00a0magical setting. And if you have to move your ceremony indoors at\u00a0the last minute, the arch and planters will provide instant decoration\u00a0to the new location.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8732\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_45570\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45570\" style=\"width: 592px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM.png 592w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM-500x671.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45570\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM.png 592w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2014-10-21-at-10.17.53-AM-500x671.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/noscript> Aspen Wedding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<\/div>\n<p>You can ask your florist to decorate the arch,\u00a0or do it yourself.

Brides and bridesmaids will\u00a0want to stay away from shoes with spike heels, which will sink into\u00a0the ground. Groomsmen should consider wearing vests with full\u00a0backs so they can still look dressed up with their coats off.<\/p>\n<h2>Food<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure the professionals you hire have outdoor\u00a0experience. Caterers need to provide foods and food displays that\u00a0keep well under warm conditions. Alcohol is dehydrating.
