OUTDOOR WEDDING CEREMONY IDEA

The wedding planner is a comparatively new trend. Couples have less time, and weddings now cost more. Wedding planners are no longer reserved for Hollywood stars and high society, with weddings becoming more and more elaborate affairs. Wedding planner services come in two basic flavors: full-service and “day of.” Some of the advantages that come with a coordinator are:

• An active, full-time planner is naturally on top of trends
• They usually know exciting new venues that brides are booking
• No matter what you want, they've heard it before

It's still possible to take matters into your own hands, once you have the time and patience, and come up with some brilliant, creative, budget-friendly ideas.

Outdoor Wedding Ideas
Outdoor weddings come with a number of benefits. For example, you avoid the high cost of a church or reception hall. Additionally, an outdoor wedding creates a more relaxed atmosphere, which is something many couples try to achieve. You can choose an outdoor wedding just about any time of year. Although summer is the most obvious choice, there are always options even for the fall and winter months.

Catholic Outdoor Wedding

Most Roman Catholic dioceses in the United States have a regulation that the bishop’s permission is needed for an outdoor wedding. Why? Weddings are usually celebrated in church buildings for the same reasons baptisms and ordinations are celebrated there: that is where the faith community most often gathers. From the Church’s point of view, the heart of the matter is, “How is this couple’s marriage related to the faith community?” Check with your parish priest to learn the regulations of your diocese regarding the site of weddings.
