Ever considered a garden wedding venue? Well we think it’s a wonderful idea, and here’s why. England may not be known for its sunshine, but there’s nothing quite like the countryside on a beautiful summer’s day to enliven the soul and invoke a sense of beauty. Below we will take a look at the pros and cons of a day out, spoiler alert…there aren’t any. Let’s explore the choice and see if an outdoor wedding venue is for you!
Why should I choose a garden wedding venue?
If you have a love for the outdoors and the grandeur of nature then an outdoor wedding reception is unquestionably for you. With the sun shimmering off the majestic trees and the melodious sounds of birds singing you through your I dos, being outdoors makes for the ideal wedding pictures you’ll love to reminisce over for decades to come.
What are the benefits of an outdoor wedding?
Who doesn’t love the glow and vibrance of summer? Or the mystery and colour of spring? If you have a love of the season’s warmth and the glow of not only the open blue sky, but the warmth it brings to your spirits, then don’t miss the opportunity to embrace the magic and zest of summer in the only place to really enjoy it…in the sun!
What’s to worry about?
You may wonder about our temperamental English weather but have no fear, Parklands has a back up plan just for you in case mother nature decides to rain on your parade. Parklands, Quendon Hall, a gorgeous Manor House wedding venue is perfectly equipped to host you should the weather unexpectedly turn from blue to grey. As we are licensed for both indoor or outdoor wedding ceremonies.
One might think background noise would be an issue at an outdoor wedding venue, but this Essex wedding venue is situated right in the heart of the countryside, so the most “noise” you might get is a choir of birds or the song of the wind in the trees.
Don’t forget to let your wedding guests know to bring a sun hat, shades and sunscreen because summer can get hot, but with a little planning like a refreshment station and a spot of shade under the trees your guests will love the summer sun as much as your photos will. Just don’t forget to say cheese! As you may find a squint or two from the sunny faces in the photos afterwards.
Are outdoor weddings cheaper?
Indeed, they can be! Instead of spending your budget on ornate decorations and large bouquets, immerse yourself in the natural abundance and luxury of nature itself. The natural settings are sure to warm the heart and save you from overspending. Use the beauty of nature to enhance your day, from eucalyptus and willow place cards to wild-cut daisies lining your aisle. Let the charm of the outdoors create a romantic and cost-effective backdrop for your special celebration.
