An outdoor wedding conjures thoughts of a backyard garden or a beach side retreat, but there are countless other options for your nature loving nuptials. The romance of a covered bridge was made famous in the movie “Bridges of Madison County”. You can have that same rustic charm for your wedding at one of the numerous covered bridges through out the country.

Many of these unique structures date back to the 18th century. You can find them from Vermont to North Carolina on the east coast. There are also plenty of them through out the mid-west and a few in California. Don't have one in your immediate area? Consider a destination wedding. Create a beautiful announcement, inviting your guests to meet you on top of the river. The natural canvass and details of the bridge require little decoration and you even get built in protection, in case Mother nature has an attitude on your wedding day.

An internet search will provide you with a variety of covered bridge locations. Most require a reservation, so be sure to secure the location well in advance. Then, say “I do” in a uniquely romantic setting.
