Whether your venue overlooks the open ocean, a peaceful
lake, or a rushing river, water adds character to your wedding setting and can make
the perfect backdrop for your ceremony or wedding photos.

Use the water to determine your color scheme. Turquoise
works perfectly with browns and pinks, and cobalt blue is a fresh choice when
combined with sunny yellows. A beautiful photograph of the view from your venue
could be used in handmade invitations or thank you cards.

You can also use the water itself to provide entertainment
at your wedding. To create impacts why not the bridal have party arrive by
boat?

Here are top six types of water view wedding venue to choose from:

1. Ocean view

The sea or ocean makes a dramatic backdrop for your wedding, but you don’t necessarily
need to get married on the beach to have an ocean view. The Mt Lofty Summit
Restaurant and Café is 710m
above sea level, with spectacular views over Adelaide to the water beyond.

2. Island
venues

If water is important in your choice of wedding venue, why
not surround yourself with it and look for a private island destination. Try Hayman Island on the Great Barrier Reef
for a truly luxurious wedding venue.

3. River view

For a beautiful riverside wedding it would be hard to
beat a location on the banks of the Yarra
River to add a sense of
history and nostalgia. Try the Grange
Yarra Valley
and have your ceremony in a private garden right on the riverbank.

4. Lake
views

Nothing beats a stunning lake view to add tranquilly and
serenity to your wedding day. For weddings in South
Australia try The Lakes Resort Hotel overlooking the West Lakes
for a view and a day to remember.

5. Harbor view

For a wedding with
a truly iconic view, nothing beats a venue overlooking Sydney
Harbor and the Harbor Bridge.
Whether you choose WatersEdge, The Kirribilli Club, or Sydney Opera House
itself, there are plenty of water view wedding venues to choose from in this
region.

6. Boat venues

Another way to surround yourself in water is to get married
and hold your reception on a boat. For those in Western
Australia how about a reception aboard the Paddle Steamer Decoy as
it cruises down the Swan
River? Or what could beat
yourt perfect day on Sydney
Harbour?
