Magical Forest Wedding Venues You'll Want to Get Lost In
When it comes to selecting a wedding venue, there are lots of outdoor options to choose from – urban rooftops, charming courtyards, rolling hills of vineyards – and yet, the most majestic of all the choices is to go somewhere deep in the forest and exchange your vows under the trees. But how can you pull that off while still including all your loved ones? These forested venues have you covered. We’ve done the forest scavenging for you and come up with a glass greenhouse that’s tucked under a canopy of wattle trees, a log cabin in a redwood grove, a vintage summer camp in a forest and so much more.
