Should You Have an Indoor or Outdoor Wedding?

Indoor or outdoor? That is the age-old question when it comes to planning your wedding. The answer is an individual choice. For me, it is all about an outdoor Maui beach wedding. For someone else, it may be an indoor church service. But whatever your preference is, you should weigh the pros and cons of each choice before you decide.

The great thing about an indoor wedding ceremony, is that the weather is all under your control. Since you are inside, you don't have to worry about rain or wind conditions. On the down side, you may have to alter your image of your perfect wedding to suit the venue.

Outdoor weddings offer gorgeous scenery and a memorable wedding experience. On the other hand, you will need to consider the time you are getting married (lighting) and the weather conditions where you plan to tie the knot.

There are pros and cons to both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies. What type of venue would you prefer?

Your first dance as husband and wife....it requires the perfect wedding song. That is a lot of pressure when it comes to choosing your song. So, how do you narrow it down?

Start by thinking about songs that reflect your relationship. Listen to the lyrics and see which ones start to stand out to you. This will help you narrow down songs. Before you make any sort of selection, ask yourself - can you see you two dancing to this song together?

If you haven't found the perfect song yet, consider a live musician or band. They can add a totally different flavour to the couples dance at your wedding ceremony.

Do you have any idea of what your wedding song would be?
