Remember if your venue location doesn't supply power, water and toilets be sure to remember to include these in your budget.
View your venue 12 months before to see what it looks like at that time of year. A woodland setting in May with a carpet of bluebells will look very different in late September!
If using Bell tents make sure you're supplier has done a site visit to avoid any unnecessary stress on the day.
Although an outdoor wedding gives you more flexibility to plan your day exactly how you envision. Take your time to carefully plan out the location of your Marquee or Yurt and the time of year.
Soak it all up, slowly, take a moment, step back and take it all in!
