Locations

For a spring wedding idea, think about having your wedding outside in a tent or at a location that has colorful gardens and scenery. If you are thinking about having your ceremony or part or all of your reception outdoors, have a backup plan in place for rain.

If you or someone you know has a large backyard, consider having your wedding there. Even if the backyard has an in the ground pool, you can still put flooring over it and having your wedding there.

Other seasonal options include local parks and arboretums, gazebos and bed and breakfasts that have gardens. You can have the ceremony outdoors in the garden or park, and the reception in a tent or inside a bed and breakfast or other location.
