Ceremony Place

Angela, on August 10, 2019 at 7:35 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 21

My venue has both of these areas available for the ceremony. I will only have 40 guests. The garden is lovely but a very typical space. I am also not sure if that few of seats would make it look empty. The front porch would be intimate. That is the feeling I am going for. elegant and intimate. I would be coming out the door and walking down the stairs instead down an isle. This is my third marriage and am not doing most of the traditional things. I am not having anybody give me away. Our 5 children are the only people in the wedding party. Which would you do for the ceremony?

    It sounds like you already have your mind made up. The front porch would be lovely. It's okay to do things however you want.

    I am leaning towards the porch but I honestly do like both. Also Hubby like the other area better.

    I personally like the garden space better, but that is just me! I think the stones are very pretty and would look great in pictures. I know you said you were worried about the space looking empty, but honestly even if it does the photographer isn’t going to make it look that way in photos. They know how to make their shots look flattering... if that makes sense 🤣

    I’d say the garden because we don’t want any mishaps on the stairs! I’d be the first to fall.

    I can see all my children and I falling down the stairs. Yet I’ll also be the one to twist my ankle when I miss a rock and step in the grass. Lol.

    I love the garden area!! I’m also getting married again and my four kiddos and his brother/niece are in our wedding. We’re not inviting a lot of people either. We’re still having some thing that 1st time brides have as well.

    Lol! If you choose to walk in the grass and you’re wearing stilettos, make sure you get those heel savers so you don’t sink in!

    Garden! You can fill in that extra space with decor or welcoming tables for guests. It’s a decorator’s dream!

    I honestly prefer the garden space! It's like a blank slate. Lovely venue.

    The garden is so pretty! I would choose that because of its natural beauty

    Personal yo love the garden space. The greenery is pretty and will make for great photography but it’s your day and you should do what makes you happy.

    What if you put some potted trees behind the last row of chairs in the garden? Sort of close it in a bit? That would make it more intimate imo

    Wow, those are two beautiful spaces!! I would pick the garden, as once you put chairs out it will feel more intimate.

    Either is beautiful, but the front porch is unique and different. Go with what feels right.
