Spring in Ohio can be a beautiful time to plan an outdoor wedding. With the warmer weather, budding flowers, and longer days, there's no doubt that it can create a romantic and memorable setting for your big day. However, outdoor spring weddings in Ohio can also come with their own set of challenges. Here are some dos and don'ts to help you plan a successful outdoor spring wedding in Ohio.

There is nothing quite like a spring wedding in Dayton, Ohio. After spending the winter pining for warm weather days, they are such a breath of fresh air! This spring wedding at the Steam Plant in downtown Dayton was such a perfect day.

My favorite venue in the Cincinnati area is The Marmalade Lily, and I always look forward to participating in their open houses. If you have never been to a wedding open house, it’s when a venue invites their favorite vendors to set up booths and couples can come enjoy food, desserts, and live music while touring the venue and meeting all the great businesses in attendance. There are often show exclusive offers and giveaways, too!

Saturday was pure wedding magic. Christina & Ryan had an ethereal garden wedding in Loveland, Ohio. Every detail came together to create an other-worldly vibe. From Christina’s bridal headpiece to the ornate cake cutting utensils- this wedding was romantic and atmospheric. Guests enjoyed an outdoor dinner reception while the sun set over the garden at The Marmalade Lily. The resident wedding cat even came out to say hello to guests.

This past weekend we photographed the most gorgeous wedding at Steam Plant Dayton. K & R began their day downtown, getting ready in the suites at their reception venue. They chose to have a first look together outside in the courtyard before the ceremony. After their first look, we stopped by Hills & Dales MetroPark for a few photos before the ceremony.
