Outdoor wedding help!

anna1211

Hey ladies!
 I'm getting married Oct. 5th next year and we want an outdoor wedding. We had our hearts set on funks grove outside of Bloomington, IL, but I was beat out on our date. They only reserve a year in advance and our chances of getting that venue are out the window T_T I'm really disheartened and frustrated. We live in Pontiac, IL and have a VERY VERY limited budget. We're not going to be able to travel very far from our home, but we want an outdoor/rustic wedding. We don't want to get married in a church, but a barn would be ok. I already have a caterer, (my friend who does bbq). If any of you could help me out with suggestions, I would be forever greatfull. I'm just at a loss of what to do.

Thank you so much!

I'm sorry that your venue fell through, but here are a couple of rustic looking places I know in central illinois. Hope this helps!
