There is no better time to have an outdoor wedding than the Summertime. Although we have seen some stunning Winter weddings in our time, the warmer months provide the perfect opportunity to embrace the outdoors and spend some time in the sun. These ceremonies are absolutely dreamy and we can’t imagine a more romantic setting than the beautiful grounds at Pryors Hayes. Just in case you’re torn between an indoor and outdoor setting, here are 5 reasons why we love weddings in the open air.
THE AESTHETIC
One of the main reasons why couples choose to share their special day in the great outdoors is because of the beautiful setting. Being surrounded by trees, chirping birds and natural flowers will make your wedding a day to remember. Choosing an outdoor setting brings a certain charm and ambience to any event, and with a wedding, it’s even more romantic. If you are opting for a summer wedding, the flowers will be in full bloom, bringing a magical quality to the space. Just check out our gallery for some inspiration.
NO NEED FOR LOADS OF DECORATIONS
Being outside means that you are already surrounded by natural beauty meaning that you don’t need an abundance of artificial decorations. Of course, you can have a few vases here and there, but ultimately you can just sit back and let the breathtaking scenery do the work for you. Although we want your wedding to look its best, sometimes less is more. There is no amount of confetti that can compete with the enchanting blossoms of the Pryors Hayes gardens; less decor is also much better for the environment, meaning that you can be both elegant and eco-friendly on your big day.

NATURAL LIGHT
When you are choosing your wedding venue, you have to think about how the scene will photograph. Having your ceremony outside gives you that gorgeous natural light that will help to create spectacular images. There is also something beautifully authentic about the warm, gentle glow of sunlight, not to mention how flattering it it makes you look! The right lighting seems to bring even more romance to the day, capturing your precious moments perfectly.
FREEDOM TO BE CAUSAL
Although everyone loves to get all dressed up for a wedding, sometimes it’s nice to host an event that’s laid back and comfortable. In an outdoor setting, there is an air of freedom that makes people feel relaxed and at ease, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the day in its entirety.
FAMILY FRIENDLY
Weddings are always full of family and friends with young children. It’s always lovely to be surrounded by the sound of children’s laughter, but in a small enclosed space, it can be a little off-putting for the bride and groom. Being outside allows the children to run around and get some fresh air while the adults sit back and relax.
