    Outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. We are having a summer wedding, so it will be hot. That is why we want the short but sweet picturesque outdoor ceremony, then indoors in the AC for the reception so everyone can cool off and enjoy themselves.

    Both. We are getting married in the fall in the mountains. So the weather will be perfect and the scenery even better.

    All indoor. I don't trust mother nature. Plus I have bad allergies no matter what time of year it is and sun burn easily

    Outdoor ceremony and indoor reception is the plan so far. Hopefully the weather cooperates!

    If I had to choose, I would prefer an outdoor ceremony. However, I don't want to worry about the weather so our ceremony and reception are both inside.

    Ceremony itself will be outside. Reception in doors.

    Outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception is what we are doing. It's a lot less stressful planning an indoor reception without having weather in the back of your head

    We're doing outdoor for both. We have a contingency plan if the weather isn't completely cooperative which is basically just big banquet tents for the reception, but rain or shine I'm getting married outside. I'm a nature lover and very laid back so I really don't care what the weather is doing as long as my FH is waiting at the end of the aisle for me on our wedding day.

    All indoors! I love the idea of an outdoor wedding, but between rentals and all that other stuff indoor was easier! Plus, I don't trust mother nature, if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all Smiley atonished Smiley laugh

    We’re doing outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. It’s a summer wedding but it’s in the late evening so it shouldn’t be too too hot.

    I never wanted outdoor either, but I'm having outdoor both. If I could choose though I'd rather have outdoor ceremony and indoor reception.
