Planning a summer wedding? If so, there are many possibilities for locations that will help make your special day memorable.
Roses are romantic. Many parks offer beautiful rose gardens and most are available for weddings. Consider saying your vows surrounded by lovely roses in sweet bloom. If roses aren't your favorite flower, the park might still be the spot for the ceremony. Fountains, Grecian columns, gazebos, and formal gardens all make an attractive backdrop for a summer wedding.
Other outdoor possibilities include lake shore weddings for brides living near a large lake. Beach weddings are popular in coastal areas and many brides even opt to travel as far away as Hawaii in order to say their vows in a peaceful sea shore setting.
Historic homes and mansions make a beautiful backdrop for summer weddings. Some may offer attractive gardens or an Victorian parlor perfect for the ceremony. Some museums even allow weddings at their site. Check with the director or superintendent for permission and details about weddings. Many bed-and-breakfast inns offer weddings on site.
Historic chapels are another option. Many cities are proud to claim a chapel or church with years of tradition and elegance. Restored or recreated villages often have historic buildings. At the Daniel Boone home near Defiance, Missouri, brides can be wed in a 19th century white frame church or at the Frontier Church within the Silver Dollar City park near Branson. Oklahoma brides can be wed with a view of Grand Lake from a small brick chapel at the Har-ber Village. Look around your own area for historic places to be married.
If sports are a shared passion, consider being wed in a stadium or on a sports playing field. Everything from your local stadium to professional sites may allow weddings. If so, plan a sports theme around the wedding.
Many cities and regions offer summer festivals and often an opportunity to be wed is part of the celebration. Check your region for "Pioneer Days" or "Strawberry Fest" type events. Sometimes a wedding is a centerpiece to the festival and if the theme is historic, weddings can be themed "old-fashioned".
Rural settings offer a chance to plan a farm wedding. Rustic ideas include using hay bales as seating. Formal western wear is available at many retail outlets. Brides and grooms can even ride their own mount to the service or depart on horseback!
Poolside weddings are always popular for either an indoor or outdoor pool. Use the water for floating candle and flower arrangements for a soft, elegant look and have the reception on the adjacent patio.
Lawn weddings at your home, parents' house or a friend's residence are also popular. Keep it simple with a backyard setting. Many home gardeners have blossoms and blooms. A lawn wedding can utilize Japanese lanterns for a festive look.
Destination weddings are also a very popular summer idea. Whether the couple is headed for the beach, mountains, or a favorite amusement park, destination weddings combine the ceremony and honeymoon. Las Vegas is one of several popular wedding sites across the United States.
Be as creative with wedding location as the season allows!
