Water<\/h2>\n

Whether you choose to have your wedding at the aquarium<\/a> where you\u2019ll be\u00a0surrounded by ethereal lighting and colourful fish, at the beach,\u00a0or on a boat, water has\u00a0always been a special place for humans to gather.

Industrial<\/h2>\n

Hosting weddings in industrial spaces may not sound appealing at first, but the deconstructed, not-yet-finished look will add a\u00a0unique aesthetic\u00a0and feel to your wedding that is truly special. The contrast between the softness of the bride and raw textures such as rusted metal, concrete and wood make exceptionally stylish wedding photos<\/a>.

Stadium<\/h2>\n

Are you and your partner big sporting fans? You may not have realised that some sporting venues double as wedding venues.\u00a0Imagine getting married on the same hallowed grounds that your\u00a0favourite team achieved premiership glory on. If this\u00a0sounds like the perfect wedding for you,\u00a0it can’t hurt to make\u00a0a phone call and see\u00a0if your favourite venue can make it happen.<\/p>\n

Landmark<\/h2>\n

If you’re located in a big city, this a great way to tie your wedding in with the place you call home. Just imagine the Sydney Opera House as the backdrop for your wedding in all its glory. Recognisable\u00a0landmarks in the background also make for epic wedding photo opportunities!<\/p>\n

Museum<\/h2>\n

For\u00a0out-of-the-ordinary places to marry for science, art, or history lovers it’s hard to go past a museum.\u00a0You\u2019ll be surrounded by unique objects that can be found nowhere else. You\u00a0can even ask a few museum staff members to attend and give tours to your guests. And\u00a0just imagine\u00a0a dinosaur in the background<\/a> of your wedding photos. Awe-some!<\/p>\n

Rooftop<\/h2>\n

A spectacular rooftop\u00a0for you and your guests to gaze out of on your big day – doesn’t sound bad does it? There are a few regular rooftop wedding venues<\/a> around, but also if you get a bit creative you might be able to find some other spaces that aren’t normally used for weddings but work wonderfully well.<\/p>\n

Home<\/h2>\n

For a wedding where you are truly comfortable, there’s no place like home!\u00a0If you have a big backyard, set up a gazebo and host it outside. Weddings hosted at home are also a great option if you want to include children and pets.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nature<\/h2>\n

If you crave the\u00a0the mountains, the countryside, the forest, or the ocean,\u00a0mother nature makes for the perfect\u00a0backdrop for a wedding. The majesty of the natural world can of course be\u00a0unspeakably beautiful. If you\u2019re looking for the beauty of nature, but want a little more control of the environment, consider the botanic gardens.<\/p>\n
