What is the Best Time of Day to Get Married?
When planning your wedding, you may ask yourself, 'What is the best time of day to get married?' We have good news—any time of day is an excellent time to get married at The Barn at Belle Hills in Crittenden, KY! We've created a guide to help you decide whether to start your ceremony in the morning light, host your nuptials at high noon, or decide on an evening ceremony under the stars. Whichever time you choose, we have ideas to make your big day as memorable as possible.
Married in the morning light
Although less popular than other times of day, morning weddings have a unique appeal that may call to you and your fiancé. The natural morning light provides a beautiful backdrop for 'I do's' and the most stunning wedding photos. During the summertime, morning weddings are excellent for a cooler, more comfortable ceremony outdoors.
A brunch reception provides a relaxed and enjoyable event for your guests to celebrate your union and is typically more budget-friendly than evening weddings. Morning wedding ideas include a brunch buffet complete with fresh fruit, pastries, mimosas, and a coffee bar. Guests will also love to enjoy fun garden games like croquet, cornhole, and bocce ball.
High noon nuptials
Afternoon weddings have been a popular choice for many of our couples as they allow plenty of time to prepare in the morning and get ready in leisure. Plus, afternoon weddings are convenient for guests since they provide ample time to travel and prepare. Reception options are diverse, from elegant lunches to vibrant cocktail hours. Reception ideas for afternoon weddings include hosting afternoon tea and a farm-to-table early dinner.
Consider rustic cocktail hour with signature drinks served in mason glasses followed by an unforgettable southern comfort meal. Whatever you decide, the relaxed, sunkissed afternoon atmosphere creates a memorable and enjoyable celebration for all!
Tying the knot under the stars
Night weddings offer an unforgettable evening celebration under twinkling lights and a starry night sky. Guests love night weddings for their romantic and magical ambiance, enhanced by soft lighting, cooler temperatures, and the opportunity to dress in more formal attire and dance the night away under the stars. Consider evening wedding ideas such as a live acoustic band for guests to dance to, a cozy bonfire to curl up and rest, and whimsical decor for a truly enchanting evening.
