After endless searching, you find the ideal venue and hire the perfect person to marry you. Maybe you’ve decided to get married in a traditional space, like your favorite chapel. Or perhaps you’ve chosen to go exotic and get married in a library, on a hot air balloon, or in a rainforest gazebo.

A beautiful garden can make a wedding reception feel like the most romantic place on earth. The venue is important here, as you’ll need to find a garden that is top notch and big enough for your event. Incorporate as many living plants as you can into the decor. Flowers should be strategically placed everywhere. And don’t forget to include greenery to make the whole theme feel fresh and inviting.
Vintage is a huge trend in design right now. But it doesn’t only apply to small-scale wedding receptions. By pulling all the stops, you can find the most incredible furniture and place setting pieces that will have your guests reminiscing in awe.

Barns are a great place to hold a unique wedding reception. All those wood floors, beautiful exposed beams, and rafters to hang lights and flowers.
