Why not a woodsy wedding

April 3, 2012 by libbyjames   

There’s nothing I love more than a beautiful outdoor wedding, but why should the beach get all the love?? I just ADORE the idea of a wedding in the woods!

I know, I know…you’re having flashbacks to your first (and last) camping experience when you were grimy and bug-bitten, and you think I’m crazy. But picture this: delicate paper lanterns hanging from a wooded backdrop provided (at no charge) by Mother Nature. The sun streams through the trees just right as you and your hubby exchange vows in front of your family and friends, who are comfortably seated on quaint benches hewn from oak trees…

Can you picture it? Stunning, right!?

Check out these nature-inspired ideas for an outdoor wedding that’s classy, not crunchy…
