I want something simple yet unique. Something that suits for Colombian women and bride. Can you help me out with this? Thanks! I will really appreciate your comments!

For a bride and groom, planning their big day is the one time where there really are no limits to their imaginations. Traditionally a bride and groom are expected be married in a church and quite often this church is one they either live near to or have attended at some point in their lives.

These days themes and wedding venues have changed dramatically and you really can get married practically anywhere and wear pretty much anything you like.

Most couples unusual wedding ideas come from either a passion they both share or the wedding idea may be from an important memory they wish to acknowledge or celebrate.

There are many different unusual and unique wedding ideas to consider. You may decide to get married at the place you and your partner first met. It has been known for marriages to take place underwater because the couple first met at sea or whilst scuba diving on holiday.

Unusual wedding ideas take a lot of effort and careful planning over a standard wedding. You may decide to have a certain theme and ask all your guests to wear a specific colour or outfit so it is important that everyone in the wedding party are informed of your requirements long beforehand.

When trying to plan unusual wedding ideas try not to get too carried away. The last thing you want is to be so over the top and too ambitious that on the day you simply can't pull it off.

You may decide that one of the best wedding ideas is to get married abroad. If you do decide to get married abroad you will need to plan well in advance to ensure that all the wedding guests have booked appropriate tickets and everyone you want there on your big day can actually get there.

Having a wedding abroad may mean you will need to compromise some of your wedding ideas. If the location is extremely hot you will need to choose an appropriate wedding dress. Traditional long gowns will leave you feeling hot and uncomfortable so try to find something more suitable for the climate.

Although most couples worry that there wedding day should be the biggest and the best ever sometimes the simpler but more unusual wedding ideas are the ones that are remembered. Whether it is giving gifts to your guests as they leave, or having a color theme sometimes just being a little different makes it all worth while.

The most important thing to remember when planning a wedding is to begin with a list. Write down everything that needs to be done and tick them off as and when they have been attended to. There is nothing worse that thinking your all set for the big day only to discover you forgot to order the wedding cake!

Having an outdoor wedding is very romantic but it can come with a lot of 'what-if's' with the main one being the weather. There is always the chance that it will rain on your wedding day and you will be forced to move it indoors but if you have the perfect day with lots of sunshine, here are some great ideas for the wedding reception.

Venue

One important thing to consider before choosing a venue is whether you will need a tent or not to hold the reception. Having a tent to host the wedding reception will help not having to spend the time continually in the sun. This can result in sunburns for the bride and guests. Some guests may not be able to stand much sunlight. Also, having a tent will be an insurance policy of sorts if the weather turns bad and starts to rain. It will also make it easier to keep the cake from melting under the hot sun. You should also have a backup plan where it can be moved indoors if necessary in case of a bad storm.

You should also look at the available parking because you want to make sure that your guests have a place to park and not have to walk a far distance to get to the reception or drive around looking for a parking spot. If you have the room for parking and such, you can always host the reception in your backyard.

Décor

For a wedding reception outdoors, it is best to keep the decorations to a minimum. As far as decorations are concerned let nature do the talking. Compliment nature with pieces that will enhance its grandeur. Just make sure that any hazardous decorations like lamps or candles are kept out the reach of any children. You also need to make sure anything that has wires is out of the way so no one will trip over them. You can use silk flowers instead of real ones if you would like.

Food and drink

The main thing that will dictate what you serve is your budget. It can be anything from a full sit down dinner to just snacks. It is best to keep it simple but one thing to remember is that it is true that many do judge a wedding by the type of food and drink they serve. For a wedding reception outdoors, you could have a hog roast or a buffet of picnic foods, or finger sandwiches. If there are to be children at the reception make sure that you include food on the menu that will satisfy the little ones.

These are just some ideas you can use when planning a wedding reception for an outdoor wedding.
