The Beauty of an Outdoor Wedding

Awe-inspiring views, gorgeous surroundings and nature's music are just some of the reasons couples decide to get married outside. There is something so lovely about an outdoor wedding that might be in a garden, on a clifftop or beside a waterfall. Of course, we can't forget the romantic beach wedding. It’s a dream come true for so many brides.

If you are thinking about having an outdoor wedding, consider the season. Winter is possible but not so often ideal. In most places, summer and fall are the best seasons for a romantic outdoor wedding, but you should have a backup plan for moving indoors. Even for an elopement in the tropics during summer, there should be a backup plan in case it rains. 

Many wedding photographers love outdoor weddings because they can be much more creative. With more space to move around outdoors, the angles and detail photos can be taken from a much wider view than being inside a room.  

Garden and lawn weddings are perfect for an elegant entrance.

Outdoors, you can make a long and dramatic entrance that starts some distance before the pretty petal aisle begins. A gentle breeze can blow the bride's veil perfectly as she joins her groom at the altar. There might even be birds singing in the background, a soft scent of flowers or sea salt in the air during the ring and vow exchange.

Yes, outdoor weddings are dreamy!

An outdoor wedding can also be more affordable than tying the knot inside. You wouldn’t need as many florals and decorations with Mother Nature blessing the entire ceremony space. Think about the gorgeous backdrop of mountains, forest trees and water. As you say your "I do's," you will feel the wedding bliss enhanced by the beauty of nature.

It's obvious we love outdoor weddings, and if you look back on some of the most beautiful ones you've been invited to, we’re sure some were held outdoors.
