With wide-open spaces, stunning Victoria Falls gorge backdrops, or mammoth elephants in your backdrop view, it’s certainly not difficult to see why more and more couples are choosing Victoria Falls as their wedding destination. But when finalising a location for an outdoor ceremony or reception, there are a few things to keep in mind, from your wedding photos to your overall design aesthetic. To guarantee a day-of affair that’s worthy of the most captivating sights.
The iconic Lookout Cafe creates the lasting impression that you want your guests to take away from your destination wedding.
Wedding Highlights
Pre Wedding
Don’t just save the view for your I dos. Chelsea, Plan My Wedding encourages couples to reserve a space for their pre-wedding pampering that allows them to embrace the outstanding landscape. “Having an impeccable photo to document the noteworthy aspect of a couple getting ready before their day is often overlooked,” she says.
Ceremony
For a ceremony with a scenic backdrop, Chelsea Bartosz, owner and executive planner of Plan My Wedding, cautions couples not to block the views of their site when deciding on the style of their altar. “Keep the altar simple so nature and the couple can be the focus.”
Wedding Reception
Photos backed by breathtaking surroundings not only include depth and perspective but can also help provide a focal point that doesn’t take away from the couple. “For this wildlife safari affair, the stunning backdrop was commanding while not distracting,” says Jonathan Baker, FNB Manger at Wild Horizons
