Benefits of Choosing an Outdoor Wedding Venue

Planning a wedding is a truly exciting time and one of the most important days in someone's’ life. Since so many wonderful memories are about to be made, everything should be planned - down to the tiniest of details. The venue you select for your wedding is naturally, at the center of it all. The look, feel, and tone of your wedding are set by the venue.

When it comes to selecting a venue in Connecticut, newly engaged couples have to decide between an indoor or outdoor venue. There are benefits associated with both, but outdoor weddings remain incredibly popular for many reasons. Continue reading to learn some of the many benefits of having an outdoor wedding.

When you choose to get married at an outdoor venue such as a vineyard or a lake, the décor is already there for you. Lush greenery, blue skies, well-kept landscapes - you cannot beat the natural scenery of an outdoor venue. When it comes to photography, natural light provides ambient light which is very flattering and soft. Your photos will not only look wonderful, but the array of natural backdrops will provide that je ne sais quoi. Outdoor wedding venues have a fantastic ambiance, particularly once the sun starts to set. Lantern lights and a gorgeous sunset can create a really magical end to your big day.

Outdoor venues are considerably more spacious compared to indoor options. An outdoor wedding venue provides your guests with more space to move around without being confined to a room or two. It also allows you a lot more space to play with. You can set up a lounge type of space separate from the main area where your reception is taking place, giving your guests a chance to take a breather from the exciting festivities - without having to leave the venue.

When you decide on an outdoor space for your wedding, you are essentially working with a blank slate. This gives you the opportunity to really add your own personality and personal touches. You can choose to place a tent if you want to minimize issues like mosquitoes or if you are expecting rain on your big day. The blank slate of a white tent allows for you to add your personal and intimate touch, something you cannot always achieve with large wedding hall ballroom type settings. Flowers, fabrics, and lighting are just some of the great ways to personalize your outdoor wedding.
