Outside wedding

For anyone who had an outdoor wedding how did you deal with bugs especially mosquitos? We are having our wedding ceremony and reception outside. The reception will be under a tent.

    Where is your wedding being held? If it's at a private residence - our yard gets super buggy with mosquitos in the summer and we use a bug repellent that you spray onto the grass (cheaper DIY alternative to having a yard service do it). It works well and lasts about a month.

    My wedding will be outside at a conservation club. And they are very strict otherwise that's a great idea.

    Have you asked the venue if they do anything for bugs? Maybe they already have mosquito treatments done during the summer?

    We went to an outdoor reception where there were a lot of mosquitoes. The bride/groom had bug spray at various locations (along with hand sanitizer, etc. for Covid). Nonetheless, it was a lovely reception!

    I think I'm going to get the candles and bug spray. Hopefully it all works out.
