When it comes to selecting a wedding venue for your special day, you and your partner have a wide variety of options. One of the first decisions you’ll need to make is whether you want the ceremony to be in a building or outside. From the natural atmosphere to the idyllic views, outdoor weddings have a lot to offer. Before choosing your venue, consider the benefits of having your wedding outdoors.

Why Should You Choose an Outdoor Wedding Venue?

1. Beautiful Photos

Whatever foliage and décor you might manage to fit into an indoor venue can’t compare to the natural beauty of the outdoors. Lush greenery, rolling hills, and colorful flowers make stunning backdrops, and the natural lighting will add a warm glow to every picture. Your photographer will be able to capture an abundance of romantic photos that you and your partner will cherish forever.

2. Natural Decorations

Indoor wedding venues are often relatively plain, allowing event planners to decorate however they wish. Unfortunately, that means you'll have to add a lot to create a lively and beautiful space. Efforts to decorate an empty room can quickly become costly, but outdoor weddings require fewer decorations. With all of the natural scenery around you, modifications won't be as necessary.

3. Additional Space

Any indoor wedding venue will have a limited amount of space for guests. Whether you have a sizable guest list or you simply want a more spacious atmosphere, having your wedding outside is the best option. It allows you to accommodate more friends and family members, and everyone can spread out, relax, and breathe in the fresh air.

4. Flexible Themes

Some themes won't work indoors, and many venues have designs that only suit certain types of decorations. Outdoor weddings give you the ability to be creative and immersive in your designs. From modest rustic themes to grandiose fairy tale ceremonies, you can go as simple or elaborate as you want. Any style will look great when nature is your template.

5. Fewer Restrictions

Do you want candles at every table? How about pets, or even a marching band? Elements like these will likely be prohibited at an indoor venue for safety reasons, cleanliness and allergy concerns, or spacing issues. However, if your wedding is outside, you have the freedom to add unique and memorable elements to your wedding.
