Outdoor wedding inspiration
By Jodie Birch · Independent celebrant
Woodland glades, country gardens, North East coastlines — ideas for ceremonies under the open sky.
Outdoor weddings have a quiet magic. The wind in the trees. The slant of late sun. The way every photograph feels softer.
If you're planning yours, think about the time of day (golden hour is your friend), the wet-weather backup (always have one), and the small comforts your guests will thank you for — blankets, parasols, a single hot drink afterwards.
The North East is full of beautiful settings: ancient woodlands, walled country gardens, dramatic Northumberland coastlines, hilltop estates. Wherever you choose, I'll meet you there, dress for the weather, and lead a ceremony that belongs to the place as much as it does to you.
