If you are looking to plan a timeless wedding, you will definitely want to check out Lancaster County. The county is home to countless Lancaster wedding venues. There are so many choices for couples looking to plan their day that is almost overwhelming. The good thing about having options is that there is definitely something for everyone. Many of these venues have been designed to be very classic- offering features like exposed brick or stone walls. These natural elements offer such a beautiful backdrop for a wedding, but they are small details that you shouldn’t overlook when you are looking for a venue.
Choosing a venue to hold your wedding is one of the most important decisions you make when planning your wedding. The venue sets the stage for the vibe and feel of your wedding. If you are having a barn wedding you are naturally going to have a more rustic country atmosphere for your wedding. Your wedding attire may be more simple and you may have more of a colorful palette. If you host your wedding at a ballroom you will have an elegant ambiance for your big day. You may choose wedding attire that falls in the black tie category and have an elegant color palette. Whatever venue you choose, the atmosphere the venue creates should match YOUR style.
There is something amazing about a venue that is simple with beautiful natural elements. It provides a blank slate for a couple looking to showcase their personality for their wedding day. If you prefer a minimalistic look you can go light on decor and the venue will still look beautiful and classic. If you prefer a little more umph you can bring in the extra florals and your wedding will have a very elegant and beautiful vibe. I put together a list of venues for the modern couple looking to plan a beautiful and classic wedding. Check out the list below!
