Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. A lot of planning and work goes into envisioning a grand wedding. Wedding venue plays a significant role in accomplishing your big day the right way. Selecting the best wedding venue, indoor or outdoor comes with its own positives and negatives. A careful evaluation of all the points mentioned below should help you decide whether to go for an indoor or outdoor wedding.
Indoor Weddings
Indoor weddings provide more control. It's easier for you to manipulate certain components and achieve an aesthetic of your choice.
Pros of an Indoor Wedding
Weatherproofs your wedding
An indoor wedding keeps unpredictable weather from ruining your wedding. Guests are comfortable throughout the day. No one has to worry about sweating their makeup off in the heat or alternatively, unexpected rain doesn't send everyone scrambling for shelter mid ceremony!
Decor of your choice
An indoor space is much easier to morph into the aesthetic of your liking. Stay clear of violating the venue regulations and you should be able to decorate your wedding any way you want. From rustic or modern, with the correct elements, you can turn your indoor venue into a dream.
Perfect for an intimate ceremony
For those seeking a private wedding, indoor venues are the perfect option. It's cozy and snug with your loved ones.
Cons of an Indoor Wedding
Space constraints
Especially after covid happened, space has been an issue with indoor venues. Bigger weddings held indoors can potentially be a safety hazard.
If your guest list is a fat one, an indoor wedding might not be the best way.
Decor is costly
While one of the biggest reasons many people prefer an indoor wedding is pliability with decor, it is also a reason many people don't. Transforming the venue into your chosen theme is costly. Consider your budget when choosing an indoor venue.
Outdoor Weddings
Outdoor weddings are perfect for people who would love to say their vows in a natural setting. It also makes for beautiful wedding photos, courtesy of the natural lighting and beautiful landscapes.
Pros of An Outdoor Wedding
Natural landscapes
The biggest selling point of an outdoor wedding venue is the natural landscape and beautiful scenery that comes with it. Since Mother Nature has done most of the work, you will save a lot of money on decor too!
Natural Lighting
Outdoor ceremonies are a photographer's favorite. The natural lighting does wonders for the photos. There are so many items to work with that result in fabulous photos.
Spruce your wedding with Lawn games
There are many ways to use the open spaces in an outdoor venue. Lawn games are just the perfect addition to an outdoorsy, fun wedding. From beer pong to giant jenga, we found it hard to choose a personal favorite so we leave that to you.
Cons of an Outdoor Wedding
Weather can rain on your parade (quite literally)
Bad weather is the biggest factor that makes people shy away from an outdoor ceremony. If you live in an area where the weather can be unpredictable, it's best you have a plan B.
Bugs run amok
Something that we've heard a lot of couples complain about is creepy crawlies in an outdoor wedding. You can use citronella candles and bug spray but that can only do so much.
