You know, last summer I climbed a mountain for the first time in my life. It was such an exciting and moving experience I could never forget. If you, guys, also aren’t the shy ones, I think choosing a stunning mountain backdrop for your wedding ceremony and reception could be your best choice. Just imagine you two exchanging vows near the Smokey Mountains or in the heart of Canadian Rockies… So thrilling, right? To show how actually gorgeous a mountain wedding may be we’ve gathered the most creative reception décor, favors, ceremony spaces and other amazing mountain wedding ideas that will take your breath away.
What To Wear
Besides choosing stunning outfits, you should take care of your comfort, too. First of all, find out what weather to expect, if there will be snowfalls or strong winds. Second, choose the right boots that are the best option for mountains – they will provide comfort, safety and warmth as it’s often cold in the mountains. You should also cover up if the day is gonna be cold; it can be a cardigan, a coat, a fur shawl, a scarf or some other piece that you like. A hat is a popular accessory for a boho bride and in the mountains it will keep excessive sunlight away and will prevent your head from overheating. Grooms and groomsmen can wear three-piece woolen suits to feel comfortable on a cold day. Offer your guests sunglasses to prevent excessive sunshine or maybe blankets to keep them comfortable.
