Green Weddings: Eco-Wedding Venues for Summer

TAGS: GREEN WEDDINGS, WEDDING PLANNING, WEDDING TIPS, CARBON FOOTPRINT, UNIQUE VENUES

Many weddings are planned for the summer months and one reason for this is the sheer number of beautiful indoor and outdoor wedding venues that brides-to-be can choose from!


Balmy summer days can help create a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos and guests will appreciate an opportunity to spend some time outside.

Top 5 Summer Wedding Venues:


  1. Conservation Areas: These spaces offer a unique, natural backdrop for your wedding and better still, once the party is over you and your guests can set up camp and spend the night under the stars.

  2. Wine Country: Vineyards provide a gorgeous location for your wedding day, not only because you’ll have delicious wine to compliment the food at your reception, but you’ll also have a large space at your disposal. You’re guests will never forget your vineyard wedding!

  3. Botanical Gardens: A venue that comes with hundreds, if not thousands of rare plants is a great venue for nature enthusiasts! At botanical gardens you can hold your wedding among exotic flowers that you would normally have to import, thus creating a large carbon footprint. Breathtaking gardens and romantic nooks will add something special to your wedding day and you won’t blow your budget on floral arrangements and décor because they're included with the venue!

  4. Cottage Country: Why not have a dockside wedding on the lake? Ask friends or relatives if you can use their cottage for your big day. Couples often forget that water is one of our greatest natural resources, but it also makes for a picturesque scene during your wedding ceremony.

  5. Fun Venues: Consider an amusement park ceremony! This is a spot where you can entertain your guests without the typical trappings of a banquet hall. Both you and your guests will cherish the memories of the fun you had at your wedding!


    Until next time happy planning,
