FI and I are planning an outdoor ceremony and outdoor reception for October (ish) of next year. We havent finalized a date with anyone yet...we're trying to find the perfect venue, so we're flexible on date. But the biggest roadblock I keep hitting is places offer a beautiful outdoor ceremony location, but have this horrid looking hotel ballroom-esqu indoor space.
We want something pretty, lots of greens/trees/flowers, rustic, country, barn....something along those lines. We are having a semi small wedding, 75 no more than 100 people. But I dont want to have it tented either! Time of day doesnt matter, we plan on doing a heavy hor douerves cocktail-ish party. Everything as far as decor goes will be DIY....
I have this beautiful vision for the day, but can't find an AFFORDABLE venue. Any ideas would really help! We are from Va Beach, and dont want to travel more than 3 or 4 hours MAX.
