Interesting places to have a wedding

Interesting places to have a wedding


It's interesting:
"I wish anyone who thinks that ‘bigger is always better’ could be with us right now, because they would surely be amazed at the tremendous amount of happiness and joy that can flow from the right group of well wishers. We are all truly privileged to have been asked to be a part of such a warm and intimate ceremony as Paul and Linda’s wedding, I offer my love and appreciation to the bride and groom for inviting me to play a role in such a very personal gathering. I’m sure we all want to congratulate Paul and Linda on their very first day as husband and wife and thank them for giving us a day we will never forget."

An interesting wedding venue makes your special day equally special to your guests if, for instance, it's at an aquarium or inside an airplane hangar. Choose a familiar place like your family's beautiful orchard, a medieval castle, or the New York public library--anything is possible on your day. Done by professionals or by yourselves if you're on a budget, an interesting venue can create a true fairytale setting for you and your love.

  1. Rustic Wedding: Fields, Orchards and Farms

    • Wheat can be used to decorate bread baskets or vases and looks beautiful when paired with roses.

      A family farm, an old apple orchard or a beautiful field can serve as very interesting places to have your wedding. Brides.com suggests "a setting straight from the heartland, where waves of grain beckon, apple orchards offer up their bounty, and weathered wood speaks of comforting shelter." The magazine suggests decorating a barn with rustic drapes and wreaths. Lots of nature decor, hand-made if you like, sets the scene. Wheat stalks compliment roses well and wooden napkin holders can serve as both decoration as well as an original wedding favor.

    Vintage Wedding: Castles and Old-Style Ballrooms

    • A romantic castle or old estate is the perfect location to have a vintage wedding.

      If your dream is to have a wedding a la Grace Kelly in the late 50s, pick a vintage-style venue to suit the occasion. A castle or medieval brick estate brings back eras long past. Add parasols and a horse-drawn carriage for that royal style. For a 20s-inspired wedding, Brides.com suggests a ballroom decorated in ivory, gold and platinum colors. Play some 20s Jazz music for flair and good old-fashioned dancing.

    Curious Wedding: Library, Airplane Hangar or Aquarium

    • According to Martha Stewart, the colorful fish at an aquarium "can make a bold design statement at a wedding."

      Despite the fact that their first attempt at getting married didn't work out as planned, Carrie and Mr. Big from Sex and the City had an original and incredibly romantic idea: getting married in a large public library which, as Carrie puts it, "housed all the great love stories." Other unusual ideas from the Martha Stewart Weddings website include tying the knot at an aquarium or inside an airplane hangar. Both provide unusual scenery and room for very different decor and stunning photography.

    DIY Wedding: Homemade and Handmade

    • Handpicked flowers can be just as beautiful as a professional arrangement at a DIY wedding.

      The Internet DIY marketplace Etsy has the right idea, especially if you're into handmade items or thrift-store shopping. Canadians Angie and Tyson, whose wedding was featured on Etsy in September 2010, had just that kind of wedding. Angie's dress was purchased at a used clothing wholesaler for $5, her bridesmaids dresses were sewn after a vintage Butterick pattern, and the entire venue was decorated with handmade items and handpicked flowers. The ceremony itself took place on Angie's parents' yard in rural Manitoba where guests either sat in chairs or on vintage quilts spread out on the grass. A DIY wedding is not only a romantic hands-on solution, but also saves a ton of money.
