Big City Weddings
There are many wonderful places to have a wedding, but none can beat a major metropolis for excitement and drama. The options for venues are nearly endless, meaning that you can have virtually any style of wedding that your heart desires. Here are some ideas for planning fabulous big city weddings.
The first step is to decide on a venue. Most cities offer infinite possibilities. If your vision of a dream wedding includes a grand ballroom, a dramatic wedding gown, and custom bridal jewelry, look into the ballroom of a top notch hotel. They will often be lavishly decorated with gilt details, dazzling crystal chandeliers, and impressive entrances. Imagine yourself pulling up to the most gorgeous hotel in the city, resplendent in your designer bridal gown and stunning custom jewelry – if this makes your heart beat faster, then a grand ballroom wedding is perfect
On the other hand, many people who live in cities like things which are more minimal and edgy. For these couples, a wedding in an urban loft can be ideal. Most lofts which are available for weddings and events are wide open spaces with huge windows. Talk about a blank canvas upon which to paint your dream wedding. Decorate the loft with rented lounge furniture, unusual centerpieces, and custom lighting. Loft spaces lend themselves to weddings with a predominantly younger crowd; the older generation might not get the appeal of a raw space.
Even nature lovers can find plenty to please them in a city wedding venue. Most major cities have breathtaking botanical gardens which can be used for weddings. You can have a totally romantic garden wedding right in the heart of a big city. For many couples this can be the perfect solution, as you will be able to be married surrounded by an abundance of flowers without the hassle of planning a wedding out in the countryside far from your place in the city.
Art lovers will find many marvelous spots in which to hold their weddings. For a formal wedding, nothing beats renting out the atrium of a grand museum after hours. Most institutions do permit this, and you will be able to have your wedding in a uniquely beautiful space surrounded by priceless works of art. If you prefer a more intimate or off beat venue, consider working with a small art gallery to host your reception. This can be a fantastic option for a pair of art lovers in love.
Finally, consider city landmarks for your wedding. New York brides can hold weddings outside in the beauty of Central Park. San Franciscans will love any wedding venue with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Okay, the Statue of Liberty cannot be rented for your reception, but you might be surprised at how many great iconic locations and views are available once you start looking. There could surely be no better way to celebrate both your love for each other and your native city.
