Cost

Consider finding a location that doesn’t require a floor to be installed which could save you some money to put towards other aspects of your special day.
A Form Of Creativity

Pinterest is a bride’s best friend so get inspired and look up some ideas that suit your personal taste to put a spin on your wedding.
Weather
If there is something that brides can’t control on their wedding day, it’s the weather! But hey, if it rains on your wedding day that’s a sign of good luck, as annoying as that can be. Being under a marquee, in a beautiful and picturesque location sets the vibe for the overall wedding and this is what it is all about.
