Now trending: ruin wedding venues

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While they may not be for everyone, abandoned buildings and structures have been trending in the wedding world recently. Couples have been opting for outdoor venues featuring crumbling walls, open ceilings and overgrown bushes for a memorable venue guests are sure to marvel at.

While it may seem macabre and weird at first, these venues offer their own kind of romance. There is something special about a place left behind. Venues like these have a history, a story to tell.

Take, for example, this ancient convent in the Amalfi Coast. The stunning architecture still stands, giving a glimpse into a time once lived. You barely need any decor: the venue itself is the masterpiece.

The spaces don’t have to be abandoned, they just need to give off an old world spirit. It’s even better if they’ve existed for decades and once had a different use. This stunning venue was originally an icehouse.

The Ice House in located in Phoenix, Arizona. As avant-garde as it is historic, the space began operations in 1920 as an icehouse for the food industry…and it's pretty darn *cool* !!⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ 📷@annierubyy ⠀⠀ venue: @theicehousephx⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #icehouse #theicehouse #phoenix #phoenixwedding #icehousewedding #arizonawedding #uniqueweddingvenue #usweddingvenue #weddingvenues #ruinwedding #weddinginruins #oldbuilding #placestogetmarried #weddinglocations #weddingreception #luxurywedding #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo #weddingideas #casamento #wedding #festadecasamento #intimatewedding #elopement#inspiraçãodecasamento⠀#casamentointimista #miniwedding #destinationwedding ⁣#realwedding⁣⠀⁣⠀

This building is reminiscent of a rundown castle that once existed. You can almost hear the clipping of horse hooves, the rustling of trailing medieval gowns.

These wedding venues are timeless, unique spots to say ‘I do’. If you want your wedding day to stand out, this just might be the type of venue for you.
