Golf Course Wedding

A golf course at a country club can be a wonderful location for a wedding - especially if you love to play golf. There are some special considerations for planning this type of wedding, particularly if you want to hold your ceremony outside right on the golf course. Learn the ins and outs of planning a stylish golf course wedding.

Another big consideration when planning a golf course wedding is the golfers. Will people actually be playing during your ceremony? If so, how close will they be to where you will be set up? You wouldn't want your guests getting popped in the head by a wild golf ball or to have your vows drowned out by the sound of motorized golf carts or beverage service carts. Speaking of golf carts, find out if the club will let you use one on your wedding day. I have seen some truly wonderful pictures of the bride in her gown and bridal jewelry riding in a golf cart with her groom with a "Just Married" banner across the back. You will also surely want some photographs of yourselves playing a little golf in your wedding attire. I love pictures of brides in strapless gowns and pearl bridal jewelry swinging a golf club!

With all of the nitty gritty details worked out, you can move on to the fun part - the wedding style! Classic and understated will best suit a golf course wedding. A simple A-line strapless wedding dress is ideal for the bride. Her attendants will look great in knee length dresses in a classic color like navy or pink. Timeless wedding flowers like roses, peonies, or hydrangeas in low vessels will make wonderful centerpieces. And for the wedding favors, nothing could be more perfect than a box of golf balls customized with your wedding date!
