| Q | We're looking to host our nuptials outside, but would still like to create some breakout areas rather than have just one large open space − how could we achieve this? |
| A | Georgie Porter says: Firstly, be aware of the elements, Britain is notoriously unpredictable, and having a marquee/ tipi or pagoda can offer a lovely cover from both the sun and the rain. You can also dress your cover with beautiful flowers or lighting. Seating is a must! Having sofa areas with low tables or even a more rustic approach using haybales gives your guests the option to sit down. Use lighting to enclose the space, this is very commonly seen in Italian weddings using festoon lighting to create a sparkling skyline, not only adds an aesthetic touch it also lights up the event at night. You need an area for the bar and food; creating space for people to enjoy the food and drinks on high tables with stools is very popular. And finally, a dancefloor! Regardless of if you're outside, having an area with a raised stand for the band and outlining the dancefloor (with either specialised portable flooring or a simple makeshift lantern outline), your guests will gravitate towards that space. |
