Few marriage ceremony arrangements are as pleasant as the ones providing for an outdoor wedding ceremony, or possibly for marriage that is conducted entirely outside. But before tying the knot this way, there are definite pros and cons to consider.

There are some potential reasons not to choose to get married outside. One important one is - don't do it if you or you bride do not like surprises. Chances are that something unexpected will happen, and even if everything will turn out well in the en, it could cast a shadow on your state of mind if you are not a fan of the unforeseen.

Specifically, if you would consider the wedding to be ruined by a spell of bad weather, better to do everything inside. The weather can turn even in the best of seasons. The alternative, of course, is to have an indoor plan B, even if it's just a big ceremony tent.

You will find that a good wedding organizer will help a lot, but outdoor marriage will still place extra stress and responsibilities on you. If you would prefer to avoid having to have more things to think about in an already complicated day, go for an easier option.

One thing that you absolutely need to consider is how your guests are going to react to the wedding being held outdoors. Would the grandmothers be comfortable with an outdoor marriage ceremony, or would it be too hot or too cold for them, or is the chosen place just too difficult to reach?

OK - now about the considerations that speak FOR an outdoor wedding. First of all, an outdoor marriage ceremony will be an absolutely memorable thing, and will delight your guests far more than an indoor one. If you want your wedding to be remembered, get married outdoors.

One good reason to get wed outside is if there is a place that has a special meaning to you. Whether it's a beach you always go to, or the park where the proposal was made and accepted, a special outdoor location is a great rational to organize a wedding there.

If you like spontaneity and drama, you will truly enjoy getting married outside. With the right atmosphere and lighting, the ceremony will be much more spectacular and the whole event will take on a special look.

One thing that definitely helps is if you are an organized person, and are able to adapt to a plan B if the main option cannot go ahead. A good wedding organizer can help on this point, if organization is not your strong suit
