Outdoor Weddings

For couples planning to take their vows beneath a canopy of sky, Outdoor Weddings is a celebration of creative style and sophistication. Renowned wedding photographer Mallory Samson invites readers on a lavishly illustrated tour of 15 beautiful weddings in a spectacular array of surroundings. From a five-day Texas ranch retreat to an elegant Napa vineyard evening, a sophisticated Hamptons affair to a playful Italian party on the piazza, what's wonderful about these weddings is how the grace and beauty of the outdoors influences every aspect of the ceremony and reception, down to the smallest detail. More than 225 photographs and a text written from close range give readers the inside perspective on how the couple's vision came together - what really worked, and what nearly didn't. Practical sidebars throughout present valuable advice on such topics as planning for the unexpected rain shower, organizing a wedding far from home, navigating the world of rental tents, and much more. At once practical and inspirational, Outdoor Weddings is the perfect dream book for brides-to-be who have Mother Nature at the top of their guest list.
