4 Alternative Wedding Reception Venues You Can Try

Published

on

When it comes to weddings in Nigeria, couples have two options: indoor or outdoor receptions. The options for alternative wedding reception venues are very limited, but we’re limited by our imagination.

Maybe you don’t want a hall like everybody else, or you can’t afford it. Don’t worry, we made a list of alternatives for your wedding reception that are quite cheap too.

Restaurants

After the wedding ceremony, everybody can just head down to your favourite restaurant. Some restaurants will let you hire out the space for a couple of hours. You can pick one that has space for dancing to your favourite songs.

Beach

We love this trend because you can have both the solemnisation and reception in one place. There are so many beaches to choose from, and you can choose to just have a laid back beach party or hire out a private beach.

Backyard

If your family house has a backyard with enough space for your guests, this is perfect for an intimate wedding. With a few seats and decorative lighting, backyard weddings are romantic and cheap.

Parks

We mean that football field around your area, or an actual public park-either way, all you need is permission from the government, seats and a canopy to get the party started.

This relaxed and comfortable style features a flowing silhouette without a corset. The lace adds a touch of texture and interest, while the simple sleeves keep the look clean and modern. This is perfect if you want a comfortable and effortless look at a wedding.

6. The beaded lace dress

Shimmer and shine on your wedding day with a stunning lace gown embellished with beads. The beads can be subtle and delicate or bold and dramatic, adding a touch of glamour to your look. Ladies who want a dress that truly sparkles should go for this style.

7. The high slit

Add a touch of modern sex appeal to your wedding gown with a high slit. This daring detail is perfectly balanced by the elegance of the lace fabric. If you want a show-stopping look that’s still sophisticated, go for this style.

8. The sleeveless corset

This glamorous style features a fitted bodice with a structured corset and no sleeves. The lace adds a touch of texture and interest, while the sleeveless design creates a sleek and sophisticated look. This is perfect for ladies who want a classic and timeless silhouette with a touch of modern edge.

9. The cut-out

Show a touch of skin with a strategically placed cut-out on your wedding gown. This daring detail adds a touch of modern flair to your look, while the lace keeps the overall feel elegant and sophisticated. Go for this style if you want a unique and unforgettable dress.

10. The jumpsuit

For the fashion-forward ladies, a lace jumpsuit is a bold and unconventional choice. This unique silhouette is both stylish and comfortable, perfect if you want to break away from tradition.

Remember, this is just a starting point! With so many amazing lace gowns available, the most important thing is to find a style that reflects your personal taste and makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don’t be afraid to try on different styles and silhouettes to find the perfect one for you.
