Stunning Ceremony Sites That Don't Need Much Decoration

Depending on where you live or where you're planning on tying the knot, the venues that require minimal decoration will vary. We've gathered some examples, below, to help guide and inspire you. If you've always wanted to get married in a church or temple, choose a house of worship that's meaningful to you, but also has beautiful architecture, a picturesque altar, or impressive stained-glass windows. If you have your heart set on an alfresco ceremony, you're in luck: there are a number of spectacular ceremony sites with such lovely surroundings that you won't need to have hundreds of flowers or a towering embellished arbor. Instead, the sparkling sea, a sprawling vineyard, or even the countryside can serve as most of your décor, leaving more of your allocated budget to the reception fare, tablescapes, and entertainment.

From gorgeous mountain and ocean views, to historic sites and estates, to vineyards and gardens, be inspired by the 10 ceremonies, below! To learn more about each celebration, click on your favorite photos!
