<p>When two people choose to get married, it can be a very big decision. There is a great deal of planning that goes into many different kinds of weddings and choosing the right kind of venue for your ceremony can be a bit of challenge. There are so many different options that convey different emotions and contain different atmospheres that can help enhance the ceremony itself and provide a comfortable place for both family, friends and those who are undergoing the ceremony.  Here are some ideas for romantic venues for weddings &#8211; in honor of the most romantic day of the year!</p>
<p><a title="Heaven Event Center" href="http://heaven8240.com/weddings/">Heaven Event Center, Orlando, Florida</a></p>
<p>One of the most important aspects of any ceremony is having everything perfect and exactly the way that you want. In order to make this happen, many people choose to hold their ceremonies in venues that they can decorate themselves such as the Heaven Event Center in Orlando, Florida. These give those, who are looking to undergo the ceremony, the ability to create a loving and romantic atmosphere that accurately reflects the love that the two people have for each other. Customizable venues can portray a loving, vital and vibrant reflection of the relationship between the two who are willing to tie the knot together.</p>
<p><a title="The Grand Hotel" href="http://www.grandhotel.com/celebrations/weddings">The Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan</a></p>
<p>One of the most important parts of ceremonies is making them memorable. Having your ceremony at the top of a building like the The Grand Hotel and seeing all of the surrounding area below can create a very memorable experience. Your events can be held in two locations, on the balcony or in the garden. Not only do you have everything (I repeat &#8211; EVERYTHING!) you may need on location &#8211; salon, hotel rooms, activities for your guests (golf, tennis, swimming, etc.), the beautiful scenery will create an even more memorable experience for all involved.</p>
<p><a title="English Gardens" href="http://www.englishgardenweddings.com/weddings.html">English Gardens, Winter Park, Florida</a></p>
<p>A garden, such as the English Gardens located in Winter Park, Florida, is a fantastic place to hold a wedding ceremony because of the natural beauty that the foliage and flora provide. It helps to give people fresh air and is a stark contrast from a stuffy, traditional church. What makes a garden so great is the fact that people can enjoy nice weather outside in a relaxing atmosphere and go right to the reception which can be held near the ceremony itself.</p>
<p><a title="Destination Weddings In France" href="http://www.chateauandvillaweddings.com/wedding-in-france.html">Any Cathedral or Chateau in France</a></p>
<p>Everybody dreams of having a traditional wedding where the bride and groom romantically exchange vows in a traditional church. This is how marriages have been done for quite a while and is the stand-by for those who wish to hold ceremonies. But, some people strive for something a little larger than a regular church.  Cathedrals like the gorgeous Chartres Cathedral (used as an example just to place an image!) in France offer a towering, grandiose and beautiful alternative to regular churches as they seem to mirror the importance and majesty of the occasion. Cathedrals, and Chateaus, are perfect for people who love the idea of marking an important time in their lives with a grand statement. These types of venues not only provide you with an incredible destination wedding, you and your loved one are also able to be married in one of the most romantic countries in the world!</p>
<p><a title="Paradise Cove" href="http://paradisecoveorlando.com/index.php">Paradise Cove, Orlando, Florida</a></p>
<p>Many people who choose to have a less traditional wedding often opt for a ceremony by an ocean, such as Paradise Cove in Orlando, Florida. This can be extremely romantic for the same reason above (Mackinac Island) but because it is near the ocean and it adds a bit of fun to the mix. People can enjoy the sand and the sun as well as the water while they watch two people join together in holy matrimony.</p>
<p>All of these options present beautiful ways to get married to the person you love. One can be sure that picking a venue that is romantic and beautiful is exactly what is needed can bring lasting happiness to any relationship and marriage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 458px"><a href="http://things-to-see.blogspot.com/2011/10/caleb-katies-wedding.html"><img class=" " title="Check out the rest of Madi's (awesome!!) photos from Carnton Plantation at her blog 'Things to See' :)" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6093/6232634694_134470ce59_z.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Images Courtesy of Madi Flournoy </p></div>
<p>Tennessee is arguably the wedding capital of romantic wedding destinations in the South&#8230; and the state certainly makes a great case in support of this. Tennessee’s scenic mountain backdrop and it’s numerous historic locations offer a variety of wedding venues. Couples will find options for traditional and simple weddings, as well as other options they probably never thought of.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve listed 5 of the state&#8217;s top wedding venues below. You&#8217;ll enjoy reading about the unique and often historical features offered by each of them.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.carnton.org/carnton_weddings.htm">Carnton Plantation</a></strong><br />
Historic Carnton Plantation has been a popular gathering place for important ladies and gentlemen over the past two centuries. Guests have included at least two presidents and the property is utterly gorgeous.</p>
<p>Brides and Grooms can exchange vows in the garden under a 150 year old Osage orange tree or on one of the two Greek revival porches at the house. There is also the newly built Fleming center which is available for receptions and gatherings.</p>
<p>Tours of the family home are available for wedding guests. Guests should enjoy the diversion and the glimpse of Tennessee&#8217;s rich history.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.heartwoodhall.com/">Heartwood Hall</a></strong><br />
Heartwood Hall (located in Rossville, TN) is a historic residence featured on the National Historic Register. It was originally built by the Miller family as a wedding gift for one of their daughters. It also has a prominent place in Civil War history as union soldiers camped on the front lawn and used the residence as a hospital.</p>
<p>The house is 7000 square feet and has a gourmet kitchen, courtyard and pool. Servants quarters re-purposed as guesthouses are scattered about the property, as well as a gorgeous garden. Heartwood Hall has become a highly sought after venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions and it’s easy to see why.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thehermitage.com/events/facility-rentals">The Hermitage</a></strong><br />
There is truly no place with more options for weddings than the Hermitage. It was once the home of American president Andrew Jackson and is a sought after venue for its historical connection alone. The property features a church and gardens as well as houses and a visitor center available for rent. The options for weddings are truly endless here.</p>
<p>Couples will be overwhelmed with all the choices and the opportunities for memorable photos abound at The Hermitage. The entire place is beautiful and you could spend a week just exploring it.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.ourredhouse.com/weddings">The Red House</a></strong><br />
This venue is unique, trendy, and affordable. It’s perfect for a wedding on a budget but the house still retains historic charm. The decor of the 130 year old home is accented with rock and roll memorabilia which offers a sort of chic style mixed with southern charm. The house appears historic on the exterior but is very modern inside. It’s the best of both worlds for any wedding.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.castletonfarms.com/">Castleton Farms</a></strong><br />
Castleton farms are modeled after the New Orleans Plantation, Houmas House. It features five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The beautiful spiral staircase in the main foyer is perfect for photo opportunities as well as the 12 ft, 4 tiered Palazzo fountain. The place is amazing!</p>
<p>The exterior and grounds are just as awe inspiring as the interior. The in ground swimming pool with floating candles and the huge lawn are certainly impressive. Greek statues, lush flowers, and a multitude of greenery accent the property and make it a really wonderful wedding venue.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that options for romantic and historical weddings abound in Tennessee. The state is overflowing with such a rich history, beautiful mountains and lakes. This provides the perfect setting for a memorable wedding no matter which venue you might choose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 432px"><a href="http://www.fairmont.com/EN_FA/Property/CLL/GuestServices/Weddings/"><img class="  " title="Image Courtesy of The Fairmont Chateau at Lake Louise" src="http://www.fairmont.com/NR/rdonlyres/1AB6AF4D-8641-44DC-A638-B9D64428C095/0/CLL_Bride_and_Groom.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="197" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image Courtesy of The Fairmont Chateau at Lake Louise</p></div>
<p>He popped the question, you have a sparkly ring on your finger and now it&#8217;s time to plan the wedding. Winter weddings in Canada can be stunningly beautiful, and with a wide range of options for a venue, your wedding will be the perfect event.</p>
<p>From snowy mountain tops to beautiful forest settings, Canada has so much to offer. Here, in no particular order, are the top five winter wedding locations in Canada.</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/lakelouise">Fairmont Chateau</a> &#8211; Lake Louise, Alberta</p>
<p>This gorgeous wedding spot with amazing natural surroundings is located in the heart of Banff National Park in southern Alberta. With picturesque views of mountains, the lake and even glaciers, this is the ideal destination if you are looking for natural scenery.</p>
<p>The hotel offers wedding planning assistance to line you up with some of the best wedding vendors in the area. Ceremony rooms, a spa, beautiful guest rooms, and, of course, dining areas with views of the mountains for your reception and dinner, all top off this luxurious wedding destination.</p>
<p>2. <a href="http://www.viamede.com/">Viamede Resort</a>, Ontario</p>
<p>Another good choice for a wedding with natural beauty is Ontario&#8217;s Viamede Resort. Gorgeous lake views make this a great wedding location. Guests can enjoy snowshoeing, ice skating, tobogganing and even cross country skiing.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, you can relax at the resort&#8217;s spa or sit by a warm fire and enjoy visiting with your guests. The beautiful rooms in the resort will make your wedding feel like a dream, and your guests will be in awe of the natural surroundings.</p>
<p>3. <a href="http://www.jaspernationalpark.com/">Jasper National Park</a>, Alberta</p>

Truly a winter wonderland, this park is ideal for a ceremony on a lake, in the woods or in one of several five-star hotels. As the largest park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper offers dining, recreation, sightseeing and relaxation spots that can&#8217;t be beat.</p>
<p>4. <a href="http://www.crmr.com/emerald/weddings/">Emerald Lake Lodge</a>, British Columbia</p>
<p>For a more cozy, mountain-themed wedding, you&#8217;ll love Emerald Lake Lodge. Surrounded by forests with snow-covered pines, this location will bring a whole new feel to your wedding. Outside you can enjoy in the breath-taking mountain views and the gleaming winter snow.</p>
<p>Warm fires, comfy furniture and beautiful cabin decor greet you inside the lodge. You and your guests will find this scenic getaway perfect for your once-in-a-lifetime event.</p>
<p>5. <a href="http://www.strathmere.com/ottawa-weddings/">Strathmere</a>, Ottawa</p>
<p>Strathmere can give you a homey, country-style wedding. This retreat has more than 200 acres of beautiful wooded areas and farmland.

Food, guest rooms, wedding coordination and even food styling can all be arranged for with the lodge.</p>
<p>At any of these five destinations, your Canadian winter wedding will be exquisite and a day to cherish. Take the next step in your wedding planning and reserve a beautiful wedding venue.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 465px"><a href="http://www.highmountainweddings.com/WeddingPackage.php"><img class=" " title="Image Courtesy of High Mountain Weddings" src="http://www.highmountainweddings.com/Art/bigwintersm.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="230" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image Courtesy of HighMountainWeddings.com</p></div>
<p>There is no more beautiful setting for a wedding to take place than at Lake Tahoe. It is an opportunity for photographs and videos that will complement your wedding with memories to last forever. During the winter months you have the glistening snow as a backdrop for all of those photographs and memories to treasure. First is deciding which of the many wonderful venues to use for your momentous occasion. Ceremony sites can be from going to the chapel to a mountain top experience.</p>
<p><a title="Lake Tahoe Weddings" href="http://tahoeweddings.org" target="_blank">Lake Tahoe</a> offers a chapel that will take you right to the water&#8217;s edge; as well as many other chapels that have beautiful views of the lake and the mountains. Your wedding can be inspired by the panoramic view of the area. A chapel would offer you a venue inside from the cold winter weather found in Lake Tahoe. The setting would still be as beautiful as if you were outdoors in the middle of the snow.</p>
<p>If you prefer to have an outdoor wedding in the middle of winter, then you might check out some places that offer weddings in their garden gazebo. Some offers heating in the form of heat lamps to keep you warm during your ceremony. This type of ceremony will be lovely with the stars shining down at night on you while you exchange your vows. Add some soft romantic music and lights; and your wedding can be the dream wedding you have always wanted. These venues make an outdoor wedding in the middle of winter in Lake Tahoe possible.</p>
<p>Then, after your beautiful winter wedding at Lake Tahoe, you will be ready to have a reception to celebrate the joining together of two loves. Some of the reception rooms available will offer you the same great views of the mountains and the lake that inspired your wedding ceremony. Some of the venues will offer to do everything for you. They will provide the cake and the champagne as well as the other foods. You can choose a full buffet or just appetizers. Some venues will offer live music with a real DJ as well as ample room for dancing. What could be better than a romantic wedding ceremony at Lake Tahoe followed by an exciting and well organized reception?</p>
<p>Before or after the ceremony, you and your guest might enjoy working off some steam at a local ski resort. Winter in Lake Tahoe offers some of the best skiing. These resorts get plenty of snow, so you are sure to find a way to play while you are waiting for the big event. They have sledding and tubing and even ice skating for those who dare. But if you want to be a little bit safer and relaxed, you can always take a romantic sleigh ride through the snow. Or, why not stick around after the ceremony for a few days and enjoy a honeymoon at one of the local ski resorts. That way you can take part in all of these activities together as a married couple.</p>
<p>Whichever unique venue you choose to have for your wedding at Lake Tahoe, it is sure to be remembered by all that attends. With the beautiful lake and the magnificent mountains, there is no way to go wrong with a wedding at Lake Tahoe. So grab a few friends or even a lot of friends and family, and come to Lake Tahoe and celebrate with a gorgeous wedding and fun reception. And don&#8217;t forget to enjoy the slopes while you are there, or maybe the fabulous sleigh ride through the falling snow.</p>

You want it to be the type of wedding that your friends and family talk about for years after. Getting married is a big deal, so having it at a memorable location is crucial.  For those of you in the Colorado area or those of you who want to be married there, I&#8217;ve listed some of the top wedding venues in your area!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/photogallery/winter-good-things-for-weddings"><img title="Image Courtesy of Martha Stewart Weddings" src="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/pub/weddings/2000Q3/msw_fall00_bouquet_reds_xl.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image Courtesy of Martha Stewart Weddings</p></div>
<p>Winter is a wonderful time to get married and because it is a slower season, you may be able to get better prices on catering, photography and other wedding services. Outdoor weddings are beautiful, but can be risky because of weather concerns.  Ensuring that you have thoroughly planned out your wedding and preparing for any outcome (especially the ones that are beyond your control!) will cause less stress on your big day. Having a back-up plan for severe weather is especially important.</p>
<p>If you are having a winter wedding outside, having a sheltered area for guests is important. A wedding tent or other type of similar covering can provide the protection from the elements necessary for a comfortable ceremony. Including portable heaters would also mean a lot to your guests. These heaters and tents are reasonably priced and can go a long way to make your guests comfortable.  Even the milder climates can cause discomfort outside, so when choosing a venue, it may be a good idea to choose a venue where they have indoor options as well.</p>
<p>Your guests may need to drive in inclement weather and having discounted hotels or other accommodations for spending the night is a great idea, if you can negotiate a good deal! Your guests will feel more secure about making the trip out to see you on your day, especially when you&#8217;re going out of your way to prevent any potential accidents if the weather does not permit a safe return trip. Suggesting that guests arrive the day before the wedding is also a good idea, so no one will miss out on the fun you&#8217;ve been preparing for them! Think about having small gift baskets or bags waiting for your out of town guests makes them feel important. The baskets can contain things like hot chocolate, tea, crackers or cookies and brochures about nearby attractions. This will welcome your guests and let them know that you are happy that they made the effort to come to your celebration. You may also want to put a schedule of all events in this basket. A list of restaurants with menus would also be beneficial for those spending the night, if the hotel doesn&#8217;t already provide them.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of awful weather, definitely consider wedding insurance</strong>!! A lot of venues already require this coverage, but it is definitely worth it when things happen beyond your control even when they may not.</p>
<p>Decorating for outdoor weddings can also be less expensive than the other popular seasons. Birch branches could be set up along the isle with tiny white lights. Think about using seasonal berries, leaves or other natural plants. You can coordinate the entire wedding party&#8217;s bouquets with this type of natural materials for a inexpensive and interesting look to a outside wedding. Small favors for your guests can follow this same <a title="Winter Wedding Favors" href="http://www.myweddingfavors.com/winterfavors.html" target="_blank">theme.</a> Seedling for spring, bird seed feeders from pine cones or cookies shaped like leaves can all make great take home thank you gifts.</p>
<p>If you are serving food at your reception, make sure you have plenty of hot dishes and drinks. Soups, and hearty dishes can make your guests feel warm inside and out. A coffee bar with ingredients for specialty coffee drinks can substitute for a traditional bar and may also save you money.</p>
<p>Planning ahead for any possible unexpected weather event can ensure that your winter outdoor wedding flows smoothly. Your guests will appreciate the care that you took to make them comfortable and enjoy the unusual yet charming outdoor venue. Make plans early and then enjoy the most special day of your life stress free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong id="textpreview_title"><a href="http://www.perfectoutdoorweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/773908_church_in_snow1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1065" title="773908_church_in_snow" src="http://www.perfectoutdoorweddings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/773908_church_in_snow1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="243" /></a>Recent Trends for Winter Weddings</strong></p>
<p>A winter wedding creates an atmosphere of enchantment and elegance. Not only does a wedding in the winter season set the stage for beauty, many couples have an easier time securing venues because the season is less busy. Colors, the dress, flowers, photography, and the reception are all key aspects of weaving together a winter wedding.</p>
<div id="textpreview">Color:<br />
The color palette for a winter wedding is a great starting point. Holiday red and green tempts use, but be cautious of overusing these colors. A natural presentation, deviating from traditional white, includes: antique whites, creams, and ivories. Small, measured bursts of colors, such as: silver, sage, plum, or wine also complement winter hues. Peacock schemes of blues, greens and browns are also hot trends right now.</p>
<p>The Wedding Dress:<br />
Strapless gowns for winter weddings worn with a wrap, faux fur stole, or gloves are prominent this season. The royal wedding featuring Kate Middleton brought Victorian gowns into vogue. Sleeved gowns and full skirts find their ideal place in a winter wedding. Adding a little drama this year, icy blue or pink blush, both able to be incorporated into a winter theme.  Another great idea is planning two dresses, one for the ceremony and another for the reception.  This way you can have a beautiful dress that you can wear for the ceremony and photographs and another that can be styled for your reception (shorter lengths, less layering, etc.)</p>
<p>Flowers:<br />
Celebrated winter flowers include: white and red roses, calla lilies, dahlias, and Gerber daisies. Integrate feathers as a stylish upgrade. Adding fir, pine cones, twigs, or berries to flowers and centerpieces encompass a natural winter ambiance.</p>
<p>Photography:<br />
Outdoor winter wedding photographs breathe gorgeous settings. Photographs with a snowy backdrop present fresh, romantic memories. Brides might wear trendy silver boots under their dress to venture outside, groomsmen coordinating scarfs, and bridesmaids cozy accessories. Winter photographs are technically more difficult, so choose a seasoned photographer. Organize a plan that returns you to the toasty indoors in good time. A fun, playful touch includes having the bridal party throw some snow in a few photographs.</p>
<p>Reception:<br />
Embrace the coziness of the season and offer twinkling lights, candles, and warm comfort food for the after party. Serve hot chocolate, cider, or specialty drinks including peppermint. Vintage appeal is stylish and candy bars are all the rage. Tweak your self-serve bar toward white M&amp;Ms, white jelly beans, and mints for a winter elegance. Favors that are handmade or vintage are also in demand. Photo booths for guests to take home pictures are also very popular, add scarfs for props. Out-of-the-box seating like monochromatic couches and chairs are popping up at indoor weddings. A late night snack like chocolates, mini ice wine bottles, roasted mix nuts, anything fun and bite sized will set your winter wedding apart. Relax, enjoy yourself and your guests are sure to as well.</p></div>

<p>Those couples who may be interested in inviting someone from the afterlife to their wedding might consider choosing one of the many venues in the United States that are noted for being haunted. Guests are sure to get a definite thrill, an probably a chill, as the bride and groom say, “I do…” in front of their guests…and who knows whom else?</p>
<p>One of the most famous haunted wedding venues is in Long Beach, California. Once referred to as the, “Grey Ghost,” the <a href="http://www.queenmary.com/Weddings.aspx">Queen Mary</a> has been the site of almost 50 deaths. People have reported haunting incidences throughout the ship’s 60-year history.  You can read all about it <a href="http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ca-queenmary.html">here</a>!</p>
<p>Ghost hunters in Texas will get their kicks at a Houston <a href="http://hiddenoaksbnb.com/">Hidden Oaks</a> wedding. This former bed and breakfast located near downtown Houston is said to have visitors of the ghostly kind when people least expect them.</p>
<p>Little Falls, New York is the site of the ivy-covered <a href="http://www.beardsleecastle.com/" target="_blank">Beardslee Castle</a>. This genuine castle is a beautiful place for a wedding, but beware! Throughout the 151 years since it was built, there have been legendary tales of sprits and ghosts that serve to accentuate the chilling energy of a Beardslee Castle wedding.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.magnoliamansion.com/">Magnolia Mansion</a> in New Orleans is a historical wedding hot spot. In fact, it is so popular that it is said to be regularly attended by ghosts of all kinds. So haunted is this Antebellum mansion, that it has been selected as one of the most haunted inns in America! They even have special haunted wedding and honeymoon packages!</p>
<p>Eureka Springs, Arkansas has wonderful hot springs and plentiful spas for a relaxing honeymoon after a ghostly wedding at the <a href="http://www.crescent-hotel.com/attractions.shtml">Crescent Hotel</a>. The beautiful old hotel sits atop a mountain, and is host to many weddings. It is said that sometimes guests are joined by beings from the third world. However, no unfortunate mishaps have been reported. (Here&#8217;s their link to their <a href="http://www.crescent-hotel.com/">hotel</a>!)</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.copperqueen.com/history_and_legend.html">Copper Queen Hotel</a> is a lovely place for a wedding in Bisbee, Arizona. Many are held under the beautiful cathedral dome that was, at one time, filled with Tiffany glass. However, there appear to be three ghosts who maintain their residence at the Copper Queen, namely Julia Lowell, a woman who died when she was in her early thirties, a second ghost in the form of a tall man wearing a cape and top hat, and a little boy who is around eight years old. Just hope the little guy doesn’t giggle during the ceremony. Some say this has been known to happen.</p>
<p>Another haunted wedding site in Arizona is the <a href="http://www.sanmarcosresort.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=15&amp;Itemid=29">Crowne Plaza San Marcos</a> Golf Resort. This Chandler, Arizona venue was constructed in the year 1912 as a place for the rich and famous to mingle, as only the rich and famous can mingle. The stunning wedding facilities are, at times, visited by ghostly apparitions and certain phenomenon that is unexplained.  <a href="http://traveladvice.hotels.com/haunted-hotels-near-phoenix-arizona-3469.html">Hotels.com</a> goes more into detail about these occurrences, along with several other haunted hotels in Arizona.</p>
<p>Finally, a third Arizona wedding site that is said to be haunted is Flagstaff’s <a href="http://www.weatherfordhotel.com/event-hosting.html">Hotel Weatherford</a>. This hotel has seen fires, snowstorms and tales of a bride and groom who were murdered there shortly after the hotel was built. Guests claim to have seen visitations from the couple as they wandered through the halls of the upper floors. They probably say, “I boo!” these days, instead of, “I do.” Click <a href="http://www.weatherfordhotel.com/history_stories.html">here</a> to view some of the guests&#8217; stories of their time spent at the Hotel Weatherford.</p>
