Wedding season has arrived. People get married all year round, but something about the spring and summertime sets the standard. The sun shines brighter, the birds sing louder, and the air feels better.

All of these elements allude to a perfect outdoor wedding. Before the wedding date arrives, consider these must-haves for your outdoor wedding party.

The Ultimate Tent

Everything grows in the springtime. The greens get greener and lusher, and the flowers reach full blossom. Spring weddings attract more brides than flies to honey. Unfortunately, springtime weather can be fickle. And for those flowers to bloom, the rain needs to appear.

You don’t want your day ruined from a springtime or summertime shower. You can plan for the perfect day and check the weather patterns constantly, but sometimes these things take you by surprise.

Avoid the possibility of a storm and get a party tent for your wedding. This way, you don’t have to stress yourself out about the chance of rain. You always stay one step ahead of the weather, and you can focus on more important things.

Even if you don’t get rain that day, a tent adds a classier look to your wedding. You can string up lights and other formal decorations while providing adequate shelter for all your guests.

Napkin Holders and Weights

Much like the weather, we have no control over the wind. The napkins always blow away first at outdoor events. Avoid the embarrassment of watching your guest playing a game of capture the flag. The holders keep all napkins secure and organized, so your guests pull out the exact amount they need.

But don’t stop there. Include a weight next to your guests’ cutlery. So when they eventually no longer have use for the napkin, it stays secure. The weight also makes for easier clean-up toward the night’s end. The staff won’t have to scrounger all over the field to retrieve discarded napkins.

Wedding Lanterns

Beautiful decorative lanterns make for lovely displays and centerpieces. You can place one on each table and even have them near the address book. The candle inside adds the perfect light to ignite the ambience and give your wedding that ultimate romantic feel.

Keep the door on the lantern open so the air can fill with the smell of your candles. Also, the candles help keep mosquitos and bugs away.

Program Fans and Hydration

Provide everyone with a program that doubles as a fan. Everyone knows the main event consists of the bride and groom’s first “I dos.” The program you provide them with gives them a little more information about the family and the big day. Trust us; your guests will thank you for this tip.

The tent will provide a significant amount of shade for your guests, but your guests might need a slight breeze depending on the temperature. Give the program another function and turn it into a fan. The fan will keep things relatively cool until nightfall hits.

In addition to the fan, consider installing a hydration station. The open bar can keep water bottles for everyone, but a cute hydration station with tasty, infused waters adds a specific je ne sais quoi other weddings won’t have. You can even go one step further and personalize the bottles so that everyone feels special.

These must-haves for your outdoor wedding party will turn it into an event that no one will ever forget.
