When you think of an outdoor wedding, do not just assume that it’s a destination wedding because there are a lot of venues in Nigeria that could provide the basis of a perfect outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. If you want to escape the cliché carnival wedding vibe and have something a bit different, consider these reasons:
It is Intimate
Outdoor weddings are usually of a smaller size for close friends and family. It takes less stress and simplifies some aspects of the wedding planning process. It’s always harder to crash an outdoor wedding than it is to crash one that is indoors despite the heightened security since everyone knows each other.
Stunning Photo Backdrop
Photos always look good outside with natural light because of the sun. The scenery outside always makes it easier to achieve album ready photographs as opposed to having to decorate a photo space for an indoor venue.
Amazing Scenery
People who appreciate nature and being outdoors will love to get married outdoors or even be guests at such weddings. Imagine exchanging your vows at the foot of a mountain or in a botanical garden where nature reigns supreme.
Fresh Air
Consider the number of guests to attend this wedding and the size of the venue. Also, consider the time of year before deciding to have an outdoor wedding. Generally, weddings by the waterfront always have an amazing ambiance and cool breeze during the evening time.
Space Constraints
If your indoor options hinder movement due to the number of guests then staying outdoors and using an air-conditioned marquee may be a better alternative.
Fewer Decorations
Although this point is relative, some outdoor venues require minimal work to look good. Most outdoor venues will be in a garden, on the beach or by a specially constructed waterfront venue.
Formal Or Casual
The theme of an outdoor wedding can be flexible; it can be formal or casual. It is up to the couple to decide what vibe they will feel more comfortable with.
Alternative Entertainment
If you wish to take your wedding to the next level with entertainment, an outdoor wedding is the safest option for that. Fire breathers and exotic animals from the zoo belong outside a building.
Would you ever have an outdoor wedding? It can be classy, casual or formal and receptions are always much more fun because of its somewhat intimate nature.
