With an outdoor wedding, the bride and groom and guests can freely check-in with a great view. Instead of having to take photos with the dim lights of the restaurant, the photos will be kept with a luxurious view with beautiful space and natural light.
According to Mr. Diep, the ideal place to hold an outdoor wedding is the blue sea with golden sand or the poetic mountains and forests, helping guests as well as the bride and groom to blend into nature and immerse themselves in the vast space. Couples especially love to hold weddings at the beach because Vietnam is one of the countries with the longest and most beautiful coastlines in the world. It is not difficult for couples to choose a romantic place to hold their wedding, such as Phu Quoc, Phan Thiet, Vung Tau, Quy Nhon, Phu Yen, Nha Trang, Da Nang, Ha Long, Cat Ba... In addition, if the couple is passionate about fairy-tale weddings in the forest, they can go to places like Da Lat, Sa Pa or mountain resorts...

Advice from Wedding Planner when organizing an outdoor wedding
Firstly, according to Mr. Diep, the location is the most important factor because it will be related to the ceremony space, resort rooms, garden landscape, entertainment areas outside the resort and transportation factors.
Second, the weather is a point that needs special attention when organizing an outdoor wedding. Mr. Diep shared: "Couples need to closely monitor the weather, especially a week before the wedding day. In particular, they must prepare a plan B in advance and accept whatever happens, always happily accepting it so that the party can go smoothly, avoiding the unhappy emotions of the bride and groom affecting the guests."

Third, for the wedding to be perfect, the couple needs from several months to a year of planning depending on the venue and level of perfectionism.
Fourth, because the wedding is held outdoors, the cost of the wedding will not be cheap. “The cost will include transportation (airplane or train tickets for guests and decor), resort accommodations for guests, wedding menu, drinks and snacks before the party, decoration costs, wedding planner costs, program coordination, sound and lighting... Because doing it outdoors is 100% not available, filming and photography must also be done by teams with experience in outdoor parties. So the total cost will be multiplied by the number of guests to get the number,” Mr. Diep added.
