Beach weddings are popular sites for outdoor venues.
There are a variety of locations and venues to choose from when it comes to selecting a site for an outdoor wedding. The final choice of your venue will depend on the season, the facilities and the general theme and style of the wedding. Always make sure there are spots where guests can find shade and cool off, especially for a summer wedding.
Backyard
Having a wedding in a backyard will give the occasion a personal and intimate feel. This is the ideal choice for a rustic and country-chic wedding, especially if you chose a sentimental house, such as your childhood home, as the site for the event. Decorate the backyard in line with the rustic wedding theme. Arrange for a large white tent to create an intimate wedding enclosure for the guests to enjoy dinner. Light the area with paper lanterns in bright colors or in a simple and pure white. Hang battery operated candles from the tree or wind white Christmas lights around them for a mystical lighting touch. Choose fresh, local flowers for the centerpieces.
Garden
A garden wedding creates a magical and whimsical feel for a wedding. Choose a garden with a gazebo or arch to hold the actual wedding ceremony. The bridal couple can exchange their vows from beneath the structure, making for romantic wedding photos. As the garden will be full of plant and flower life, this will help ease your wedding decorations budget, as the flowers you will need to provide will be minimal. Light the garden with hanging candles to add to the magical setting. Arrange bistro tables around the garden for an elegant setting for dinner.
Vineyard
A vineyard will provide a rustic and interesting backdrop for a wedding. Decorate the wedding tables with vintage accents, linens and place settings to enhance the old world, vineyard feel. Utilize winery details, such as wine bottles as vases or wine bottle corks to hold the place cards, to tie in with the vineyard theme. Add sparkling white Christmas lights to the vineyards to help them to continue to pop even after the sun sets.
Loft or Rooftop
If you desire a metropolitan and elegant city wedding, you do not necessarily have to reside to having the wedding indoors. Choose a loft or a rooftop to hold the wedding for a sophisticated affair. This will provide for stunning and memorable wedding photo ops, as you take photos with a city view backdrop. Choose classic and sleek table settings and centerpieces. Use modern place settings paired with sleek hurricane lamps or candle holders. Arrange for a martini bar on the roof top to tie in with the metropolitan feel.
