Outdoor ceremony or reception?

Clíodhna, on October 1, 2019 at 11:05 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 138

If one part of your wedding day had to be outside, which do you choose?

Would you rather have your wedding ceremony outdoors, or your reception?

    Ceremony for sure! I love outside ceremonies, the chance of bad weather just scares me!

    Outside ceremony. 30 minutes of unpredictable weather is better than hoping for the best for 4 hours.

    Outside ceremony I guess. I don't trust the weather so we opted to do have both the ceremony and reception indoors.

    Ceremony outside for sure. I'm not worried about our weather at all, because......well.....California. But if that were an issue, I think I'd rather take the reception indoors, so guaranteed that weather wouldn't interfere with the party!

    Outdoor reception, which is what I'm having! Outdoor ceremonies are pretty but I want to get married in a church

    I am having an outdoor ceremony, so definitely that! I think it’s better to take the weather risk on the shorter event of the day!

    Ceremony for sure. I'd rather be married in nature and then retreat into the nice air conditioning for the reception.

    🤔 It all depends, I mean we all choose different time of season. Or will depend in what country also. I really dont mine, in my case I will have a bit of both because my reception has a view of the beach and we can open the entire reception if we want. 🥰

    Ceremony!!!! I want to be able to dance and eat and relax indoors, and not worry about bugs and the weather messing up plans

    Ceremony over reception. Ceremony is a shorter time being outside so a little less stress about the weather.

    I'm having my ceremony outside. Getting married under the open blue sky has always been a dream of mine. The reception will be inside. It's too hot in Alabama to spend 4 plus hours outside. We need air condition so we can dance the night away without fainting.

    I guess it depends on the season but for me personally. I'm having my ceremony outside and reception in but it's in june so it should be nice weather for a ceremony outside.
