For those seeking an alternative wedding location away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a wedding in the countryside is the perfect fit. These days, a wedding in the countryside is characterised by a rustic connection to nature. For this location, it doesn’t matter if the whole celebration is held completely out in the open or perhaps on a farm. Highlight the natural aspect of the location and select regional and local products when choosing the dishes and drinks for your celebration. The best part: you can use materials such as wood, flowers, straw, fabric, and ribbons to decorate your vintage location in an extraordinary fashion. This will not only be cost-effective, but will also produce a romantic atmosphere.

In order to make the celebration that much more unforgettable, guests have the opportunity to go on strolls along the water’s edge as well as taking a trip around the lake on a boat. These excursions can be organised with the local boat operators and are the perfect way to round off a wedding at the lake.
