Outdoor ceremony! I love outdoor ceremonies and wish we were doing one, but it's too cold for that in February.

We did both outside but if I had to pick just one the ceremony would for sure be outside.

Ceremony. My ceremony and reception are both going to be inside, as our wedding will be on Halloween. So you never know what the weather situation might be, and I don't want anyone to get rained on or have to sit and freeze. If I had it during a warmer season I would absolutely have it outside.

Definitely the ceremony. Our ceremony will be 20 minutes, so if it's too hot or too cold or a little rainy, people could tolerate it for 20 minutes. For 5 hours? That's a whole other story.

We’re having outdoor for both, but if I had to choose I’d rather do an outdoor ceremony!

Ceremony, though both are technically but we'll be under a tent for the reception.

Having outside ceremony and 1/2 indoor 1/2 outside reception. Venue is legit so if it rains we have a back up plan.

Personally, I loved the idea of both being outside but SOME people disagree. The ceremony is inside because FMIL was adamant on it being in a church. The reception was planned for indoors because we live in Texas and the weather does what it wants. We're getting married a year from next Thursday and it's still 90+ degrees here which might make an entire outdoor event un-enjoyable. I love the way outdoor weddings look though.
