Your wedding should be a representation of your individual personalities as well as your mutual love and vibe as a couple. It showcases you in front of your guests and sets the tone as to what the new chapter of your life starts out as. It all starts with a venue. Location is arguably the most important part of the wedding planning process. It is not only the first thing that will make an impact, but the entire atmosphere will be infused into every aspect of the event. That’s why, couples who love to be outdoors, are moving away from traditional wedding options and choosing backyard weddings with a more comfortable event venue and atmosphere. You don’t need to fly to an exotic place to have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day. While the sandy beaches and mountains are nice, the trees and blooming flowers in a garden are just as good. Another advantage of organizing your wedding outdoors is to let Mother Nature take the lead in decorating.
