One of my favorite Southern Alabama wedding venues for an outdoor ceremony is the Veranda at the Preserve. The Veranda is located on a chic golf course with picturesque landscaping. I love how much room there is to spread out at the Veranda—you could even set up an area for field games to entertain guests before and after the ceremony! And that swing? One of my fave spots for bridal party pics! Fall is an exceptionally beautiful time to get married at the Veranda.
