With blue sky and flowering gardens as the pretty backdrop to your ceremony and your photographs, your outdoor wedding venue hardly needs more than a few pastel-coloured balloons and streamers to look absolutely lovely. Soft natural light gives all of your photographs a rosy hue, the verdant lawns and fragrant flowers create a sense of peaceful joy, sunsets paint a passionate backdrop to your exchange of vows. Yet, holding a wedding indoors has its charms too—impeccable service from experienced hotel staff, cool air-conditioning, and luxurious amenities, to name a few modern comforts. Instead of feeling torn between indoor and outdoor wedding venues, why not have the best of both worlds by holding your ceremony in a flowering courtyard, then proceeding to an exquisite ballroom for a glamourous reception? To get you started on your search, SingaporeBrides susses out 5-star hotels offering beautiful outdoor solemnisation venues.

Resorts World™ Sentosa Singapore

The thrilling Resorts World is a great wedding venue for couples looking to give out-of-towner guests a fun time as well as share in the joy of a beautiful outdoor wedding. Walk up a stylish spiral aisle strewn with fresh flowers in a lovely garden wedding, lifted by the fresh sea breeze. Exchange your vows in the rosy glow of a sunset, and capture memories against a beautiful landscape, or hold your solemnisation in comfort indoors at the glass pavilion while still enjoying the beauties of nature. Follow the ceremony with a garden high tea party on the perfectly manicured lawn with the hotel’s delightful international menu. Or throw a tropical pool party with exclusive use of Hard Rock Hotel’s poolside cabanas and make a splash!
