Hamptons Wedding Venues: Exchanging Vows in the Gardens

Far from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Hamptons wedding venues have always been favored by soon-to-be brides and grooms. In fact, with the serene environment of the Hamptons, garden weddings have suddenly become a trend on this side of the Long Island.

Just imagine how the trees create the perfect shade from the sun; how everything gently sways with the wind including the veil of the bride as she walks down the aisle. While everything seems picture perfect during outdoor weddings, the reality is couples need to do a lot of planning to be able to pull off this kind of setup.

Balance comfort and style. Lovebirds are surely excited to see their dream weddings finally come to life. Some go for vintage botanical garden, while others choose the enchanted garden style fête. While jazzing up the venue with a lot of ornaments is perfectly okay, one aspect that should be prioritized along the way is the comfort of all the attendees.

Some things to consider are high-velocity blower fans and refreshing cocktails, especially if it is an afternoon wedding, and well-lit paths to the comfort room and citronella candles as the day transcends to a night of celebration.  

Be creative. Outdoor weddings leave more room for gimmicks that would establish a certain kind of connection between the couple and their guests. It can go from a tree decorated with string lights and photographs that display the couple’s most wonderful memories with family and friends, to aisle runners or even parasols etched with some lines from the wedding vows.  

Prepare the venue for the forces of nature. Garden weddings involve a lot of mishaps. The strong breeze may ruin the arrangements, including bamboo canopies, bridal arches, and hanging decors, and these events may even lead to accidents. To keep these instances from breaking the joyful ceremony, it important to windproof the structures by adding support.

Weather also remains unpredictable.  Because of this, couples can consider some Hamptons wedding venues with spacious cabanas, allowing everyone to happily witness two people’s celebration of love, rain or shine.

Audio check. Couples would love to clearly share their vows with all the people close to their hearts, but this can be a bit challenging for outdoor weddings as the vast space demands for clearer and louder audio.  Some venues have a dedicated A/V team to guarantee an uninterrupted wedding program, free from the dreaded technical difficulties.

With the right team and proper planning, couples can make the most out of the romantic vibe that Hamptons wedding venues offer and start their journey to forever in a truly memorable way.
