Ask a girl of any age, what her dream wedding is and believe me she has an answer ready for you. From her motif down to the hors’ d’oeuvres to be served at the reception, she’s got them all envisioned in her happy mind. Weddings are supposed to be the happiest or one of the best moments in a bride’s life.
But preparing a wedding is not all bells and whistles. There are plenty of details to consider, each requiring a certain amount of focus. One of the major tasks in arranging a wedding, aside from ensuring that you have the right partner, is choosing the wedding venue. Outdoor weddings are a big hit nowadays owing to the number of celebrities like Troian Bellisario and Blake Lively, choosing to tie the knot at a beautiful outdoor venue. Read on and you might also be convinced to hold that very special day outdoors.
- An outdoor wedding promotes a relaxed mood.
Fresh air, beautiful scenery, a garden of roses or the expansive view of a golf course can bring about a relaxing mood to an already nerve-wracking early morning preparations for the wedding. That feeling of being one with nature will instantly relieve you of the pressures of having the perfect ceremony. Guests will also feel more relaxed and comfortable outdoors as indoor venues sometimes give off that enclosed and stuffy vibe. You wouldn’t want your families and friends grumpy by the time you and your handsome groom exchange vows, right? Happy guests translate to a memorable wedding after all.
- An outdoor wedding gives way to a scenic backdrop
Selfies have become an integral part of a person’s day. We always take at least 30 minutes of our day to get that perfect selfie to post on Instagram or Facebook and caption it with the wittiest and coolest hashtag we can come up with. So may I remind you that these selfie-loving-Instagram-addict guests will not spare your wedding and take photos at least three times per pose?
Imagine your wedding ceremony is at the Detroit Opera house, a Detroit wedding venue. Dressed in the most beautiful white gown, you are walking slowly and gracefully with the Detroit skyline in the background, towards the man you have chosen to spend eternity with. On your left and right are your family and friends whom you have both chosen to stand witness to your love. That right there would be a picture of perfection.
- Outdoor weddings are easier on the budget.
Let’s face it, money matters when planning a wedding, and weddings are not cheap. Having an outdoor wedding gives you plenty of opportunities to save on a few things and be within your set budget. Some venues allow you to bring in the caterer of your choice (easily saving you a couple hundred bucks). You can also DIY some of the decorations. Not only did you save but you also put your creative touch to your wedding.
A wedding does not make a marriage. The person you choose to be with on that fateful day will be the only thing that matters. But it wouldn’t hurt to be in the most perfect place at that very moment.
