Choosing the right wedding venue requires the same focus as you would give to choosing your wedding dress. The wedding venue represents your style and taste, and has to be beautiful enough to complement the uniqueness of your wedding day.
So this probably rules out your local banquet halls!
But how do you choose a good venue if the only ones available to you are below par? Simple; you follow our ideas on some of the more unique venues that can be substituted as the perfect location for your happy union.
Unique Wedding Venue Ideas for Your Taste
-
Museums
As a classic choice, museums often offer spaces after-hours to rent. You can have the exhibits as the backdrop and a built-in entertainment system for your guests. You can also ask the staff if they can provide tours or open some exhibits so people can explore them after the ceremony.
-
Converted Buildings
Monasteries, factories, warehouses and even airplane hangars can be rented out for events. These unconventional places act as blank canvases so you can easily fit your theme to the aesthetics.
In addition, by adding details such as flowers and delicate décor to the gritty surroundings, you get a venue that easily sets itself apart from the rest.
-
Botanical Garden
Love nature? Why not book your wedding in your local botanical garden?
With freshly-manicured lawns and flower beds, floral surroundings and heady scents, your ceremony will get a life of its own. Not to mention that with those high glass ceilings, you’ll truly feel secluded from the rest of the world in your own private garden.
-
Boats or Yachts
As long as you don’t get seasick, this one’s a winner.
Getting married on a private sailboat, yacht or even a ferry is an altogether different experience. Though if you want, you can opt for historic ships as well. Permanently docked, these out-of-commission docked ships offer more room and a certain air of charisma to the whole event.
-
Orchard
This is taking outdoor weddings to a whole new level. Imagine the quintessential vibe of the rustic surroundings, the sound of the birds and the vast fields as the bride walks down the aisle. Stunning in their own way, orchards offer a homey feeling to the event.
Nevertheless, even with these wedding venues, you need someone who will be able to capture their beauty perfectly. And that’s where Lily Hayes comes in!
