"Run wild until you find someone just as wild to run with"

An outdoor wedding in the wood can be a beautiful and unique setting for a wedding ceremony in Portugal.
Here are some ideas to make your woodsy wedding a success:
Choose the right spot: Scout out the wood ahead of time and find a spot that has enough space for your guests, a natural backdrop for your ceremony, and easy access.
Consider the weather: Make sure to plan for the weather, as outdoor weddings can be unpredictable. Consider renting a tent or providing umbrellas for guests in case of rain or shade in case of hot weather.
Decorate with nature: A woodsy wedding offers a natural, rustic ambiance, so embrace it by incorporating natural elements into your decor. Think wooden signs, wildflowers, and twinkle lights to create a magical atmosphere.
Dress appropriately: Choose comfortable shoes that are suitable for walking on grass and dirt, and consider the weather when choosing your wedding attire.
Provide seating: While a woodsy wedding can be a relaxed affair, it's still important to provide seating for guests. Consider renting chairs or benches, or opt for hay bales covered in blankets for a more rustic feel.
Sound system: Consider renting a sound system if your ceremony is on the larger side, so that your guests can hear your vows and any music you have planned.
Plan for lighting: Depending on when your ceremony is scheduled, you may need to provide lighting for the reception. Consider using candles, lanterns, or string lights to create a warm and romantic atmosphere.
