Your wedding day is about love, family and embarking on a new chapter of life. For many couples, it is also about nature, or at least being surrounded by nature on a truly memorable day that deserves the greatest backdrop of all. There are so many ways that you can weave nature into your special day, and we are bringing them to you here. Before you put the final touches on your big day, consider the many beautiful ways to incorporate nature when you tie the knot.
Choose a natural location
There has been a huge shift toward outdoor weddings, with brides and grooms looking to connect with their natural environment on what will be the most important day of their life. This could be a beach, garden or vineyard – you are only limited by your imagination. You might want to choose somewhere that is significant to you both. Wedding marquee hire obviously goes a long way here, ensuring that couples can have the wedding of their dreams without having to fear the rain. If you are choosing an outdoor location make sure that you don’t need any permits to use that space, and if you do, then lodge your request as soon as possible so that you can secure your beautiful natural location on the day you want it.
Add nature to your style
There are more ways to add nature to the day than just the location. You might want to also spend some time choosing the right foliage for your bridal outfits, and we’re not just talking bouquets! Brides may want to have a flower crown designed by a florist, and can also have some delicate flowers wrapped around their wrists or woven into their hair. What a beautiful sight. The gents are not let off the hook here, as there are many ways to weave flowers and greenery into the buttonholes of the chest pocket. This is also a great way to tie the bridesmaids and groomsmen together, unified by these beautiful florals.
Do some research about the area and people that once inhabited the land
We are beginning to learn more about the traditional owners of the land with every event or congregation that takes place in any specific area. This is a meaningful way to feel connected to your chosen sacred place, so do the research to learn who these people were and share it as part of your wedding day formalities. It’s important to remember that honouring indigenous people is something that needs to become the norm in society, and you can do your part here in acknowledging these people as you start the next chapter of your life.
Design a natural and fitting menu
There is yet another way to incorporate nature into your wedding day, and it is through the stomach! This is where your guests will really thank you. Why not try to design a menu that is entirely natural and a nod to the region in which you are getting married. You can do this by supporting local farmers, producers and makers. You can also look to see if there are any wines or liquors that are unique to this area, and have them on the bar for your special day.
It’s no surprise that many couples are looking at creative ways to tie nature into their wedding proceedings, after all – there are few views better than nature. It might be a good decision to seek any dietary information before you put these ideas into motion, as the last thing you need is to have some allergic attendees not enjoying the natural theme.
