Whether you’re getting married close to home or have jetted off to tie the knot in some exotic locale, the ceremony serves as a welcome introduction into what is sure to be the culmination of months of hard work for the best celebration you’ve had yet. While the vows are undoubtedly the most important aspect at the altar, it’s also the perfect spot to create some beauty that will define the style for the entire wedding. And that’s not to mention the inevitable barrage of pictures of said altar you’ll have, capturing that “You may kiss the bride” moment!
The possibilities are endless for arches, arbors, and the like, but there’s also something to be said for letting nature take its course. Mountain views, towering pines, and even oceanside ceremonies will make 2018 the year that “alt altars” rise to the top–and with views like these, I can promise you won’t be disappointed.
