If you are one for grand celebrations, night ceremonies definitely give you the advantage of going big. The dark background serves you with the perfect opportunity to include fireworks on your big day. There won’t be any shortage of lights at your electrifying wedding, so do not be afraid to shout out your happiness to the world!

Here’s an idea to further romanticize your night-time wedding. Decorate your path and surroundings with enchanting lanterns. Once you have finally exchanged your vows, you can also celebrate by releasing paper lanterns into the sky. Sharing this sweet moment and lighting up the night sky will add to the excitement and joy after a successful celebration of your love.

Chandeliers are usually found indoors, but who says you can’t hang them in your backyard? If you are planning to have a smaller wedding, but still wish to keep it glamorous, this is one way to do it. Decorative chandelier pieces around your garden bring in an element of luxury and fit in perfectly with the wide space of the outdoors. Whether you plan to have your wedding during the day or at night, it is something that will make your ceremony spectacular, with a stand-out element that will leave everyone in awe.

When it comes to daytime weddings, you have all the natural light you need. So make use of that well, and adorn your venue with the most colorful and decorative elements. Flowers are one of the most versatile and visually appealing items and are considered important for weddings. Especially during the spring season, you have many more colors and fragrances lined up. Make the most of the season and create your own floral wonderland.

Nature-lovers find any opportunity to head out into the woods and explore the wild side. Modern weddings go beyond the traditions of Churches and Chapels, which gives you a chance to head out and embrace your adventurous spirit on your biggest day. With the natural sunlight falling over majestic trees, all you need are a few chairs for your guests and a decorative arch to say your ‘I Do’s under. You can complement the surroundings with flowers and candles, and be creative when getting the venue wedding-ready.
Stunning Sunset Sky

A setting sun is one of the most beautiful sites to see. The golden hour illuminates you and your surroundings in a way no Instagram filter can. Raising a glass as the sun sets below the horizon, you can look forward to starting a new chapter in the most cliché and romantic style. Just get your timing right and you will be able to enjoy an incredible backdrop for a mystical wedding.

Another great advantage of a darker set is the intimate ambiance created by the dim lighting. This works well, especially for your first dance as Mr. and Mrs. With all of your background blending together and just the two of you coming into the spotlight, the romantic atmosphere will be something you won’t ever forget. And like the Ed Sheeran song, you will find everything at the moment to be perfect.
A Fairytale Ending

Sometimes, simplicity is the best way to go. A backyard or garden ceremony after sunset does not need a fairy godmother to turn it into something magical. Hanging some fairy lights and adding candles or decorative glass bottles filled with lights is easy, time-saving tricks to make your venue mesmerizing. Add to it the gorgeous bride and groom, and it will look just like a scene out of a Cinderella movie.
Most ceremonies take place during the day or when the sun is still up. However, you can be creative in your own way and bring your visions of a perfect wedding to life, any time of the day. Whether it is daytime, sunset or night wedding, each has its own, unique vibes. No matter what you decide, you won’t be deprived of ideas to accommodate the momentous occasion.
