Keep in Mind The Following Choices

* If you are getting married in a traditional gown and tux, you might want to change to walking shoes and jeans for comfort as you ascend. The ground might be moist or muddy.

*
 While the price might seem expensive, remember you do not have to pay for a hall or an expensive dinner and drinks if you had a traditional wedding.

* 
Choose to get married while on the ground or up in the air. Either way you can invite your parents to share it with you. Take your guest out to late breakfast or early luncheon depending on the hour of the wedding.

* 
This is a once in a life time romantic event. You will want to share this with your grandchildren one day. Make sure you have someone take pictures, and/or video.

* Do not sign a contract for the Hot Air Balloon wedding until you read and understand the fine print. If you are not sure, ask an attorney to check it out to make sure you get what you pay for.

* 
Speak to and check out a few Hot Air Balloon companies to see what they have to offer for a wedding. Compare prices.

* 
Since you will be walking on the moist grass, it would be more comfortable to wear sneakers instead of bridal shoes.
