Outdoor Wedding Essentials: 5 Must-Haves for a Beautiful Day

Outdoor Wedding Essentials: 5 Must-Haves for a Beautiful Day

There’s something magical about saying “I do” under open skies — whether it’s a garden ceremony, beach vows, or a vineyard celebration. But outdoor weddings also come with a few little curveballs (hello, wind and sunshine).

Don’t worry — we’ve got your back (and your bouquet). Here are five outdoor wedding essentials every modern bride needs for a beautiful, stress-free day.

 

1. Stay Shady (But Make It Chic)

Let’s be honest — squinting through your vows isn’t the vibe. Our Heart Parasols aren’t just cute, they’re your best friend for sunny ceremonies and golden-hour photos.

They add instant romance to your look and double as the prettiest prop for your bridal portraits. Bonus: your bridesmaids will love them too.

2. Have a Weather Backup Plan

Rain on your wedding day might be good luck — but it’s even better when you’re prepared. Keep clear heart umbrellas on standby to protect your glam (and your hair)

without blocking the view. 

They photograph beautifully and add a little cinematic flair to your rainy-day photos.

3. Wind-Proof Your Look

A gentle breeze is romantic… until it’s not. Choose hair pins or combs over loose clips to

keep your style secure through all the hugs, dances, and wind gusts.

Think elegant, not overdone — just enough sparkle to catch the light as you walk down the aisle.

4. Comfort is Key

Outdoor weddings often mean grass, gravel, or sand — and that’s not always heel-friendly. If you’re planning to dance the night away, switch things up with lace or organza shoelaces in your favourite sneakers or comfy flats.

They’re the perfect balance of comfort and style — no one will notice, but your feet will thank you.

5. Prep for Golden Hour

When the light turns golden and the cameras start clicking, you’ll want to look (and feel) fresh. Keep a bridal clutch handy with your must-haves — lipstick, powder, tissues, and maybe a sneaky mint or two.

Our bridal bags are small enough to stay out of the way but stylish enough to show off in photos.
