Tradition has its place – but this is your moment. If you want the setting to feel as unforgettable as the vows themselves, the great outdoors offers a kind of magic no interior can rival.
Getting married beneath open skies can be an unforgettable experience – not only for the couple at the centre of it all, but for every guest lucky enough to witness it. In the Nordics, the possibilities are vast: dramatic, elemental landscapes that lend themselves perfectly to an adventurous elopement or open-air celebration.
That said, nature plays by its own rules. An outdoor ceremony requires thoughtful planning – mist that rolls in unexpectedly, industrious insects, slick rocks underfoot, cooler temperatures and mercurial weather can all make an appearance. As with most things, preparation is everything. Embrace the prospect of wind catching your veil, a light drizzle settling on silk, or guests raising umbrellas in unison. These unscripted details often become the most treasured.
If you’re willing to surrender a little control, the reward can be extraordinary: luminous light, cinematic backdrops and photographs that feel almost mythic.
So, what’s your dream setting? A secluded waterfall in Iceland, a mountaintop in Norway, or a botanical garden in Sweden? Take our tour and discover the one that feels like yours.
