Let's see your outdoor location of where you're getting or have gotten married! Also if you're holding your Cocktail Hour and/or Reception outside, feel free to post a picture! PIP please!

I'll go first.. We're getting married in a beautiful garden.

I'm getting married in my back yard.  These pictures were taken during the winter so things are brown and not lush.  Use your imagination!



Look from the back of the house:

I'm lurking to get ideas for a garden party this summer and unfortunately my venue (my backyard) is currently covered by 4 feet of snow.  I'd post a pic but it would be all white.

Dudley:  Your venue is awesome!

Babycakes(lol  still love it):  Your yard looks like mine.  What are you going to do with the deck?  Wrap it with anything?

bbyckes

Yeah Anna, I'm goint to do a little to spruce it up.  I need to give it some more thought.

FutureMrsDudley55

Thanks Anna! I can't wait!

Maybe hit up lowes, Home Depot or whatever for those flower boxes that hook onto the side of the deck rail and then have some sort of flower?

I love your location, Duds!

Bby, a nice balloon arch should spruce that deck right up!

Fairy, I like that pavillion! Very woodsy and pretty.

Here is mine. The first shot is from beyond the arch, where the family sat.

Thanks Bec! I think this is my first time seeing your ceremony pictures. I must have only seen the reception! They're absolutely gorgeous!

bbyckes

I love your pics, Bec!

You really think a balloon arch?  I never thought of that.  Not too prom-like?

We are getting married at the Tiffany & Co. Garden in downtown Chicago south of the Buckingham Fountain, this garden was just opened last Sept and I can't wait to get married there!!!

BecW2be

That was a joke, bby! Sorry! NO balloon arch, and I desperately need a sarcasm font! LOL I love anna's idea of flower boxes...

I have some pro pics in my bio now, duds. Thanks for the compliments! They are not in order, but they show pretty much everything from the ceremony to reception to trick-or-treating to after party.

Ceremony will be outside in front of the garden gazebo.

We got married in the Ella Sharp Park Rose Garden.  It was in September so there weren't any roses but it was still beautiful.  We ended up getting a tent which I was happy about since it was perfect weather that day and so sunny :-)

This is Glenn Otto Community Park in Troutdale Oregon.

Small meadow for the ceremony.

We have a hall for the reception too but I have noooo pictures for that.

Omigosh, everyone has such beautiful venues!!  This makes me so happy that we decided to get married outside too...here is the Franklin Park Conservatory garden where we are planning to marry in September in Columbus, Ohio:

It has an indoor "Palm House" as a back-up plan in case it rains:

We paid entirely too much for it though haha.

I'm new to this board, but my wedding will be outside at a Renaissance Faire.  We're going to be in an outside chapel, then they will have a tent setup near a tavern for the reception.  I only have a pic of the chapel so far.
