Why Outdoor Weddings Are More Popular Than Ever—And How to Make Yours Unforgettable
There’s something undeniably special about saying “I do” under the open sky, surrounded by nature’s beauty and the people you love most. As outdoor weddings in Kentucky grow in popularity, more couples are trading traditional ballrooms for fresh air, golden sunsets, and scenic, open-air settings.
At Highland Stables in Bowling Green, KY, we’ve seen firsthand how outdoor wedding ceremonies create an atmosphere that’s both elegant and deeply personal. Our venue offers a picturesque Kentucky countryside backdrop that elevates your ceremony without the need for over-the-top décor. With wide-open green spaces, mature trees, and a peaceful setting, the natural surroundings provide instant charm.
Couples love that Highland Stables wedding ceremonies are completely customizable. Whether it’s a floral arch, wooden cross, or letting the landscape speak for itself, the space is a blank canvas to reflect your vision. From intimate micro-weddings to vibrant celebrations full of color and personality, we’ve hosted it all. Want to include your dog in the ceremony? We welcome it!
Spring and fall are especially popular for Bowling Green weddings, thanks to the mild weather and breathtaking seasonal color. Many couples opt for a golden hour ceremony—just before sunset—for that soft, glowing light that makes photos magical.
