Happy Friday! Holy moly I am so excited it's almost the weekend. Les and I get to go to a bridal show tomorrow and we are stoked! So, I thought I would post a little about what has kind of been on my mind recently. (This is how I know I'm meant to do this, I think about events/ideas/concepts constantly) I decided I'd talk a little about....dum dum dum dum...VENUES
This all came to me when we had a bride stop by at our last bridal show with her venue being somewhere I would never think to get married. All sorts of lights went off. Note the post :-) Let's begin, yes?
Venue numero uno! An ice skating rink!! What??!!!!! This is where the one bride is getting married. I find this cool (hahaha) for two main reasons: 1. I have never heard of this and think it's amazingly awesome 2. Her fiance is a hockey player and his dad built the rink. Pass.shoot.score. Just don't ask me to skate. I'm a railing holder all the way.
K so lesssbehonest, (if you haven't seen Pitch Perfect, do it. Guaranteed laugh) I don't even know what building this is, but it's A-MA-ZING. A good thing with a venue like this is it already has all of the detail to create a luxurious event without having to bring in a billion different accessories.
A museum. LOVE this. It is sooo unique and it is a venue your guests will never forget. This venue would be perfect if that is where the couple met, got engaged, or where they both work. Best way to use this is if it is somehow tied to the couple. Let's just hope it doesn't get all Night At the Museum....
A castle. Okay. Can you get anymore "fairytale" than this? I think not. Every girl's dream. If I got to do a wedding in a castle I think I would die and go.to.heaven. You don't even have to get married in this one. Any one will do me just fine :)
A good ol' fashioned backyard wedding. I think these weddings can be absolutely adorable. You can do so many things with a backyard wedding. It's also cost effective so you're spending more on the decor instead of the space itself and you really aren't going to make your guests feel more at home.
So here's the deal-yo honeys. Pick a venue that matches you as a couple. It makes your day even more special if you can pick a venue that means something to both of you. Also consider the feel you want to give off; if you want something over the top, do a castle. If you want the down home good time feel, go for the backyard. Remember, it's YOUR day. Until next time!
Cheeks,
Ash :)
