Outdoor weddings remain the safest way to celebrate with your loved ones, so grab a tent and fill it with gorgeous lights to create the ambiance you might be missing from an indoor space. Bring in chandeliers and tealights and go to town.

Complement this romantic environment with a soft gown. Whether it is a ballgown, A-line or sheath style, make sure it is light and flowy.

For men, try a conventional look with a gray suit or tux that will match the look and feel of the day. Spice things up with a patterned tie or socks to keep things whimsical.
