Well, we had a good run of scorching weather this summer didn’t we? As the crisp autumn evenings draw nearer, we can’t help but feel nostalgic for some of the lush outdoor weddings that took place.
Here are four wedding venues who we think totally nailed Al Fresco ceremonies this year. If you’re hoping to get married during summer 2019/2020 and you are optimistic about the weather odds, take note now ladies!
