Breathtaking Outdoor Locations Perfect for a Spring Ceremony

After the snow has melted and the leaves grow back on trees, many people try to spend as much time outside as possible. Threat of rain notwithstanding, spring is the perfect season for a stunning outdoor wedding. For couples wanting a unique and personal celebration, an outdoor venue is a natural choice. Ballrooms are beautiful, but at a certain point there is only so much you can do with your décor to make it stand out. With an alfresco ceremony and reception, decorations are hardly required when there are exquisite views in all directions.

An outdoor wedding is hardly one-size-fits-all. No matter what your wedding style is, you are guaranteed to find a location that takes your breath away. Whether you’re planning hometown nuptials, a celebration near the city, or a destination wedding, there is sure to be an eye-catching vista.

Each of these splendid sites are from real weddings; for more alfresco inspiration, be sure to click on each photo.
