Deciding on a wedding venue may seem like a piece of cake if you've been fantasizing about your wedding day for years. But if you're still debating on where to tie the knot, you'll quickly realize that narrowing down a venue isn't as easy as it looks. Do you opt for a rustic forest affair? Or maybe a chic, urban locale? The options are seemingly endless. But, there's one venue option that totes plenty of gorgeous features but often goes completely overlooked—greenhouse wedding venues.

Even if you're not a die-hard plant-lover per se, tying the knot surrounded by lush greenery is an easy way to guarantee your ceremony backdrop will be flawless. Plus, greenhouse wedding venues work in any season. If you're set on a winter wedding, your guests will stay warm while still enjoying the snowy, wintery scenery through the glass windows surrounding the room. And for spring and summer weddings, greenhouse wedding venues will set the stage with seasonal greenery and blooms. Plus, your photographer will thank you for all of the stunning light that shines through, resulting in the most gorgeous wedding photos.

To get the planning started, we rounded up our favorite greenhouse wedding venues. Read on to get inspired by the vibrant vegetation of these unique spots.
