5 Significant Tips for Planning a Rooftop Wedding

Thronged with towering skylines, picture-perfect views and a remarkable sunset, roof-top event happens to be an amazing option. You may be lost in fantasising about it already but if you consider the practical grounds then you must understand that pulling off a rooftop wedding calls for serious logistical knowledge. Once you can organise it in the right way the result will be a grand affair. 

• Plan for the Wind – Rain happens to be the obvious point of concern but do not forget about the wind. Since you are hosting the event on a rooftop it is best to expect that there will be lots of winds on the rooftop. While choosing the décor, you should keep that in mind. Added to that, you should also make sure that, in case the wind picks up, the paper elements can be anchored down. A good idea is to remove all the delicate items away from the gusty zone to the nearby corridors and hallways.
  
• Backup Plan is Mandatory – This is one of the most crucial pieces to consider at the time of organising a beautiful rooftop wedding. Look for a combination of outdoor and indoor spaces beyond the rooftop with the perfect panoramic spectacles. This will give you options for the décor and make your planning much easier. The best part is that it gives you a plan B in case the weather does not remain in your favour.
  
• Rent Furniture that Are Weather-proof – You should go for furniture made of synthetic material and leather that cannot be damaged by moisture. It is a great idea to go for illuminated furniture during the cocktail hour. This way you will be able to create a club-like ambience as you provide just the amount of light that is required by the guests to mingle among themselves.
  
• Keep Extra Coordination Time – A number of rooftop venues were constructed years if not decades ago. Generally speaking the older the building the more challenging it is to access it. Moreover, most of the rooftops are located in the urban areas, that too, on small and crowded streets. At the time of conducting the site tour, you should ask where the staff will be doing the loading and the unloading. It may happen that you have to build in extra hours on the wedding day for the florist, the rental company and the other vendors to access the rooftop venue.
  
• Arrange for Great Lighting –Sunset is a great time for hosting the rooftop ceremony. The stunning and beautiful sunset creates a romantic and passionate glow. That is why it is advisable that you should plan your wedding around it. You can use soft lights and candles to enhance the sunset glow. These will also work great in the evening. If part of the reception and the cocktail party are to be held outside then you can arrange for LED lighting that can also be customised.
  

The above are some of the things that you need to keep in mind at the time of hosting a rooftop wedding party. You must appoint a proficient wedding furniture hire company for furnishing the event with the right pieces as that is very important in this case.
