2. No Indoor Limitations - Having the wedding ceremony outdoors allows the couple to get creative with how they want the ceremony to look and feel. You aren't restricted to the look of the venue, church or synagogue. And many places have limits to decor too. Having the wedding ceremony outdoors frees the couple from limitations, so go nuts!
