My favorite thing about weddings, aside from fancy clothes and open bars, is seeing how the bride and groom show their personalities and tell their story through the setting , the themes, and all of the personal little touches they choose to include on their special day. More and more, weddings seem to be moving out of traditional settings and into venues that allow for an even greater expression of the couple themselves.
With wedding season officially upon us, love is in the air. If you’re planning a wedding or maybe, just maybe, you will be soon, the following list is more than inspiring. From rustic barns to elegant ballrooms, these sites provide the perfect space for self-expression, romance, and elegance.
