For this once-in-a-lifetime event where you’re the main character, the pressure to plan the perfect wedding can be immense. Torn between your preference for an intimate wedding and the wishes of your parents for a traditional one, common wedding woes may dial down the fun and excitement that come with perfecting that dream wedding you’ve always fantasised about.
And among the top wedding woes, many brides-to-be like
yourself are probably stumped by the question of which would be the most gorgeous yet practical venue? Picking the
right venue is just as — if not more — important in selecting the perfect
dress.
Can’t seem to make the call between the conventional indoor wedding or stepping out into a modern outdoor wedding? Fret not, this quick checklist is sure to ease this painstaking decision as you hunt for the venue that checks off all your boxes.
1. Knowing What You Wish to Spend On

Typically, the venue
rental accounts for the bulk of your total wedding expenses. And for indoor venues, couples often spend up to
half of their budget on their chosen venue package. That’s because Singapore
wedding deals are usually extensive and include the venue, food,
decorations and other logistical considerations such as music and lighting. If
you opt for these elaborate packages, you’re sure to cut costs without hiring
individual vendors.

But on the other hand, if you’re going for a more
minimalistic look, outdoor weddings can
be just the budget-friendly option for you! Oftentimes, brides who go for
outdoor weddings wish to keep it simple. This could entail natural lighting
from Mother Nature and swapping out over-the-top decorations for the event to
be lovely framed by a garden.
With these wallet-friendly choices, an outdoor wedding
can offer you more headspace and spending power to secure other elements, such
as the most heartfelt door gifts like this and this.
2. Bearing Comfort in Mind

After spending hours getting dolled up, you wouldn’t want you and your guests to be sweating buckets during the grand celebration. Especially with Singapore’s humid weather, nothing beats cooling your guests than the comfort of an air-conditioned space.
With indoor weddings, there wouldn’t be the worry of excessive sweating because of the ability to manually control the room’s temperature and humidity. Rain or shine, your hair and make-up will be kept on-point for those cameras!

However, if you’ve got your eyes set on the most
elaborate outdoor garden space, here’s a tip in combating the rainy and humid
weather. You don’t need to shift indoors: instead, consider engaging tentage renting services that include
an installation of air-coolers. Also, with the option of appropriate curtains or glass panels for your tent, weathering
against the elements for outdoor
weddings in Singapore has become more manageable.
Lastly, for those who are worried that air-coolers
might take up space, why not double them up as part of your wedding
decorations? Perhaps dress them up as useful safe-distancing signs for your
event!
3. Referencing Your Guest List

Does your guest list consist of many young ones?
Ensuring a venue that is safe and suitable for all is crucial for your guests
to celebrate your special day with peace of mind. It’s best to check if your
venue is family-friendly and suitable for young children who may get
restless.
In an indoor wedding, dim lighting, elaborate tablecloths, and constrained areas may
endanger the little ones who might have a go at running around freely. So check
with the venue owner; perhaps hotels or indoor event spaces have other rooms
close by for guests to keep their children out of harm’s way when the
restlessness kicks in.
Conversely, alfresco spaces such as parks and gardens
have ample space for children to play in. Bubbles
and kite-flying are exciting
activities that your little guests may look forward to as you connect with
their parents while knowing that their children are in safe hands.
Also, identify
the seniors, handicapped or special-needs guests on your list who might
require wheelchairs or special arrangements. As widened corridors and ramps may
vary according to the outdoor or indoor venue, be sure to make the necessary
arrangements with your venue owner for a welcoming and comfortable wedding for
all.
