5 Secrets to Making Your Wedding Day as Adventurous as You Are

Adventure. It’s out there.

And, if you’re anything like me, it’s also in your soul. It’s that craving to explore and enjoy what life brings. There’s manmade adventures like museums and cities and natural adventures like the mountains and beaches. 

So when it comes to your wedding, why not highlight that passion you share with your fiancé? Here are the best secrets to make your wedding day reflect your adventurous soul:

1. Set the Scene

The best place to start is creating an atmosphere that your guests will anticipate before arriving. When you look for venues, find ones with dreamy scenes or mountainous vibes that you would expect to find you and your fiancé in naturally. Then, use your engagement photos to help tell that story of adventure. With your engagement photos on Save-the-Dates and your wedding website, everyone invited will instantly gather your spirit.

2. Hone in on a Season

We all know that seasons come with varying scenery, so make sure you choose a season that perfectly depicts your vibe. Do you love the vibrant colors that Fall brings? Or do you prefer the lush nature surrounding you in Spring or Summer?


3. Dress for the Occasion

From engagement photos to your wedding dress and suit, what you wear definitely has an influence on creating the adventurous vibe you’re going for. Your wedding dress can still have sparkles and be as extravagant as you have dreamt it to be, but keep in mind the venue location as well as types of photos you may want. Do you want to explore the area for picture-perfect photos, but know there may be some slight climbing involved? Make sure your dress can accommodate for that!



4. Choose Thoughtful Decor

Any venue can be transformed into a completely different tone with some decorations. Think through what the backdrop of your ceremony will be (floral arch or natural mountain range), how the aisle can look with some simple candles or greenery. How can you convert the reception hall through your centerpieces, dance floor, and wedding party table?


5. Pick the Right Wedding Day Team
