Outdoor Focal Points

Outdoor settings are beautiful and romantic. But they do create some unique design challenges. In addition to the logistical challenges of seating, climate control, and lighting that an outdoor setting can create -- using an environmental locale can also create focal point challenges. Large fields, expansive gardens, vast beaches and sprawling vistas can create a visual scale that loose the bride and groom as a major focal point. Consider adding some grounding elements like one of the following to bring the expansive scene down to human proportions.

  1. Terrific Tents, Big and Small
  2. Lovely Lattice
  3. Flags and Swags in Heraldic Tradition
  4. The Low Light of Candles
  5. Simple, Outdoor Altars
  6. The Aisle, The Tradition that Works
