Garden Weddings

The weather in Nairobi was awesome until last week. It's the unpredictable rainy season that has taken over. The extreme heat though not the best for ones health, has been ideal for garden wedding. Ask any bride or anyone attending a wedding or outdoor event in Nairobi and the majority would rather the sun anytime than a cold, drizzly, cloudy or worse yet heavy rains for outdoor events. Despite the weather or season garden weddings are not about to loose popularity in Nairobi anytime soon.

Which brings me to today's discussion: Garden Weddings. A lot has been said about them I would not like to copy and paste the information on today's blog. However I want to consider something that attracts me to them. Lush gardens. There are grounds that are well taken care of  that you just want to stare at them and not cover them with tents during your wedding.Then, there are those with dry grass that isn't attractive but still great for a rustic look.

As unpredictable as the weather is, there is need for plan B  when it comes to your garden wedding. The tricky bit is that October to December have always been a high wedding season in Nairobi, so it would be hard to have another venue or an indoor specifically available due to high bookings. So instead of looking for an alternative indoor venue how about working with your selected garden wedding?

Its a norm for many people in Nairobi to hire many tents for the ground which include: one for the bride, three for the wedding guests, one for the cake, gift and food tents. These are normally many tents and most of the time the arrangement is usually a standard one not allowing much room for creativity. The verdict? It's about time marquee tent made a come back this season. The main reason is that most of the garden wedding venues don't have an option for indoor events.

When working with a marquee tent, you can leave the walls open to allow as much natural lights as possible and only close it if it starts raining. The advantage of it is that the guests are protected from the rains. Another thing about a marquee tent is that it gives you option to set up the place as best as it suits your taste.  The space in the tent is usually big enough to allow a huge dance floor and one need not worry on how to get everything under the tent. So go on, have a stress free wedding day.
