Picture this: The sun is setting behind you as you get ready to walk down the aisle. You look ahead, seeing all of your friends and family smiling back at you. The love of your life stands at the end of the aisle with a wide grin. As you walk, your hair flows with the cooling breeze. With the Kentucky Lakes as your backdrop, your wedding can — and should — be this beautiful!
Kentucky Lakes is a coveted wedding spot that combines rustic country living with the beauty of nature and water views. Conveniently situated just outside of Nashville and less than a three-hour drive from Louisville, KY, Memphis, TN, and St Louis, MO, this is the perfect wedding venue for anyone in the South or Midwest. It sits just across the water from Land Between the Lakes National Forest — a perfect place to explore before or after the event or for gorgeous photos.
If you are interested in having your wedding at Land Between the Lakes (LBL), take a look at this LBL wedding guide to help you get started with your planning.
Having a wedding by the water can be a dream come true — but only if you plan in advance. There are several things to keep in mind when planning a lake wedding.
The weather is always unpredictable. You cannot prevent bad weather, and you cannot predict what the weather will be when you choose a wedding date. However, you can plan ahead.
When planning a lake wedding, it is important to choose a venue with versatility. Whether you opt for a tent, an indoor/outdoor space that can be adapted, or decide to dance in the rain (bonus points if there is a rainbow), you will be thankful you had a backup if there is inclement weather. Everyone wants your wedding to be sunny and warm, but if it is not, planning ahead will ensure you are prepared.
Nothing is worse than being invited to a wedding where lodging is nowhere to be found. By choosing Kentucky Lakes as your wedding venue, you can have all of your guests stay at Kentucky Lakes / Prizer Point KOA. Whether your guests prefer a level Tent Site, Deluxe Cabin, treehouse, or their own RV, they can find the perfect accommodations for their tastes.
Another great thing about planning a lake wedding is that you do not really need decorations. Instead, nature is your backdrop. When it comes to decorating your chairs, archway, and anything else outside, less is more. You decided to have a lake wedding for a reason, so save money and enjoy the lovely natural setting.
Make your wedding a destination — without the big expenses and extensive travel. Encourage your guests to see your lakeside wedding as a weekend getaway where they can attend the ceremony and reception and stay longer for some fun lake activities. You can do this through your invitations, social media and by creating an itinerary for your guests.
Your lake wedding venue will already make your special day unique — but if you want to kick things up another notch, there are many things you can do to make your lake wedding even more special. Here are some lakeside wedding ideas for your big day.
A lake venue is a perfect place for stunning wedding photos. At Kentucky Lakes, there are so many great photo spots to choose from. Here are a few favorites for LBL wedding photos:
Kentucky Lakes weddings can encompass much more than a ceremony and reception. Provide your guests with an itinerary of various activities, food options and local landmarks they can check out before or after attending your wedding. There are even plenty of things to do right at the campground.
No Kentucky Lakes wedding is complete without a campfire. Inform your guests that after the reception, there will be a campfire with optional s'mores. You can even give your guests s'mores kits as their party favor. With a crackling campfire, you can spend more time with your guests in a relaxed, intimate setting overlooking the lake in the moonlight.
Everyone's eyes will be on a bride or groom who arrives by boat. Get to the altar in style in a speedboat or set out on a "just married" canoe after your ceremony for super unique lakeside wedding photos.
