This Could Save Your Outdoor Wedding

Pick flowers that can stand up to your wedding setting and climate. "People don't always think about what kind of flowers to use in a practical way; they choose them for the look, color, and sentiment," says James, citing hydrangeas as a beautiful flower that will wilt immediately in humidity. If you love hydrangeas or another delicate flower, you don't have to give up your dream of having it at your wedding altogether; just reconsider how you'll use it. "Save them for the air-conditioned dinner rather than the ceremony or your bouquet."
