Hi Ladies, I am trying to find locations in mid Missouri for an outdoor wedding in late April 2013. (I already know about the possibilities of rain, etc etc; it's already been drilled into my head.) So I want an outdoors area that is pretty, not necessarily with tons of flowers or shrubbery (though nothing against them!) and not necessarily plain either, just a nice location. We don't want it too close to St. Louis, and our families are in Sedalia, south of KC, and about 50 mi west of StL. We would like something not too far from either place, and we are open to going as far south as Rolla, MO, as that is where we both went to college. We are on a tight budget and don't want to spend a ton of money on the venue (ie: over $1,000, if that).
I would really appreciate it if anyone had ANY ideas for me to look into!!! Thanks so much!!!
