Best Time to Have a Rustic Wedding in Victoria
If you are planning a rustic wedding in Victoria, you should know that there are some best times to have one. It is always better to plan a rustic wedding in the warmer months because this way, you can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the weather.
Also, if you want to avoid any problems with the venue, you should choose a place with a lot of natural light. If you are planning a summer wedding, you should consider selecting a location that views the ocean or mountains.
If you are looking for a winter wedding, you should choose an indoor venue with a fireplace or woodstove. If you don't mind spending money, you could also hire a fire pit for your wedding.
Last but not least, you can use our free weather tool to learn how the weather will be on your special day and take all the necessary precautions against inclement weather. You can ask your rustic wedding venue to prepare an indoor space to move your event, or you can rent a full-size wedding tent.
How to Find Affordable Rustic Wedding Venues in Victoria
If you plan to have a rustic wedding in Victoria, you should know about the many affordable rustic venues available in this beautiful city. These venues offer various options for country wedding, including barns, cottages, farmhouses, wineries, and more.
First, you should set a wedding budget and determine how much you can spend on your rustic venue. Then, keep that budget in mind when searching for the perfect setting. We recommend opting for an all-inclusive package with everything you need, from a wedding photographer to decorations and food.
You can consider having a daytime event. Since most couples prefer evening receptions, you can hire your country wedding venue at discounted rates. The same also applies to the winter and weekday celebrations.
For your dress, you can rent one or buy a second-hand gown. Instead of a sit-down dinner, consider renting a food truck offering delicious fast food, such as hotdogs, pizza, hamburgers etc. Additionally, you can cut down on transportation costs by having your ceremony and reception at the location.
Last but not least, don't forget to ask what services are included in the final price. Is there a cutting fee for your wedding cake? Is onsite parking free? And many other details.
