Outdoor or Indoor - Wedding stuff

I've always thought i was sure of my stand on the matter of a wedding venue. It had to be a beautifull airy room with a rustic feel. Outdoor weddings were just completely out of the question for me -too much liberty to the weather, the tent decor always looked tacky, the couple always seems to be in their own little hut plus i hated going to parties and sinking my heels in grass and all that and more reinforced my stand on that

This past weekend we went to the Serena in Kigo just to check the potential venues and prices. At least now i can officially cancel that venue off my list -turns out there is only one hall and it fits a maximum of 200 people. it has a low ceiling and has a cramped feeling to it so that was an easy cancel. There was an outdoor wedding going on that looked so well done, it had me thinking about reconsidering. So maybe im not as anal about having an indoor wedding as i thought.  i could make it work.>>>

I have also been thinking theme colors and i might be settling for calm yellows and corals. I know you're supposed to have some sort of contrasting colors but for now my brain likes those ones. I might throw in some turquoise  later ..who knows. Even though i'm inclined to fancy anything with color, i have to pick the official ones now otherwise my wedding will turn into a children's theme park or something off Nicki Minaj's head and we don't want that. right?
What say you good peoples. OUTDOOR or INDOOR?

My wedding will be outdoors, I have always loved garden weddings. But as some one mentioned make sure it is not the rainy season and check that your priest/pastor is happy to wed you outside of church.

Definitely indoor. If you can find an indoor courtyard large enough to fit your many many gusts, then book it by all means.

Wedding! Plans. Eh mama :)

I love outdoor wedding but scared of the weather, maybe a church wedding will do and an indoor lovely reception, congrats on wedding planning.

Hmmm my wedding was outdoor, but the ground was cemented and it was lovely. the decorator did a very good job although she took a lot of money. so we weren't bothered about the weather.
About colours maybe you should try being blod..loll.
my wedding dress was white and red, it was really nice and very bold.

Outdoor! Rain or shine!! If you do it well, have good detail arrangements, you can achieve the rustic feel you always wanted. I would make sure it isn't in the heat of the day and I would do away with tents. Outdoor makes for great photos and I am talking as a wedding photog!

Mbabazi said...

definitely outdoors for the wedding photos. As for the no tent. That would be so lovely but im not one to leave such important matters in the hands of the weather...
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, all very helpful
@tamu tell me more about bold colors

it always depends on the moment or the time of the year. But I always like wedding outdoors because I always see indoor weddings.

Im also inclined to indoors. The whole tents issue especially like you said , you'd feel isolated in your own hut. If you can find a way of making everything seem well connected the you can try outdoors otherwise indoors
I actually don't mind the colors
