If you’re planning a country garden wedding to embrace the hopefully sunny weather, having some outdoor activities for your guests to enjoy can be a really cute way to entertain everyone. This works especially well if you have an early ceremony and have a few hours of outdoor daylight to enjoy.

Lots of venues are more than happy for you to hire games, or bring ‘props’ for guests of all ages to have a total ball at your wedding.

No matter the weather, have your first dance outside. Rain or shine, summer weddings are about being in the outdoors. With a decent sound-system and your loved ones surrounding you, there is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy that moment in the fresh air.

Having a beauty station at the reception is especially relevant if your reception is outdoors in the heat. This gives guests a chance to freshen up and get back to dancing as quickly as possible. All you need is a pretty table, mirror and some essentials such as deodorant, face wipes, perfume, and anything else your guests may desire.

Outdoor photobooths are fantastic fun and you can DIY them so easily. This one has bunches of lavender and even a swing, but you can set up anything you want against a nice backdrop - whether that's a brick wall, macrame hanging, beautiful tree, or backdrop of vintage doors.
