Spring and summer are the times when most outdoor weddings take place. (Unless, of course, you live in an area where it's warm all of the time.) A very beautiful and romantic setting for an outdoor wedding is in a garden full of gorgeous blooms. Our online wedding decoration store has lots of wonderful accessories for this type of ceremony and reception, and in today's blog, WhereBridesGo.com has featured a few ideas for how to incorporate them.
An Enchanted Garden
A regular garden is awe-inspiring enough on its own to host a romantic wedding, but adding a few fantastic elements can turn an average garden into an enchanted one straight out of a fairy tale.
Consider having the wedding ceremony early enough that it's still light outside to enjoy the garden's beauty, but late enough that as soon as the sun goes down the reception is enveloped in ethereal twinkle lights and lanterns filled with candles.
Lots of natural elements are wonderful to decorate with. You can use tree branches in vases, or slices of tree trunks as centerpiece bases. Moss adds excellent color and texture to your decor, and of course, beautiful blooms woven into everything fits in perfectly. Imagine what you might see in a fairy garden and then arrange it on a bigger scale for your own celebration.
A plainly iced cake, or possibly a naked cake, with a gorgeous wedding cake top can be embellished with real flowers. For favors, send your guests home with something to grow, like a potted succulent or flower seeds. Make a magical exit amid a cloud of bubbles blown by your wedding guests.
An Afternoon Tea
Gardens are lovely places for afternoon tea, and if you have your wedding earlier in the day, you can host a brunch before the ceremony or a variety of tea sandwiches & different teas among the flowers afterward. Lots of decor may not be necessary since the garden is stunning on its own, but a few additional floral elements here and there can add that extra special touch.
Gardens also host some lovely wildlife, such as birds, bees, and butterflies. These are fun elements to add into your wedding decorations, and a perfect reason to use cute phrases like "Love is in the air," "Lovebirds," and "Meant to 'Bee'." Ceremony programs that double as fans can help to keep guests cool on the warmest of days. A wooden garden bench used as a wedding guest book alternative makes a wonderful decoration for the newlyweds' home after the wedding.
