Garden Themed Wedding Ideas
Many wedding couples choose to have a theme for their weddings, and a garden theme wedding appeals to brides (and grooms) with green thumbs or who are environmentally conscious. While this topic may appear to be overly broad, it isn’t only about having a lot of flowers. Gardening is about the hope of sowing seeds, the dedication to caring for growing plants, and a harvest that feeds both the body and the soul – all of which are intimately related to weddings and marriage!
Where to Host?
Of course, the outdoors is an obvious location for a garden theme wedding, whether it’s your own wonderful home (or the backyard of a generous friend/relative), a nearby park (be sure to obtain any necessary permits from your city hall), or even a botanical garden. Even in the dead of winter, you may have a garden themed wedding by holding the ceremony in a large sunroom (for a short ceremony) or in a more traditional setting, with live potted blooming plants.
Wedding Decorations
A backyard wedding can be very personal and romantic. Garden themes are usually more suitable for smaller groups, and the dress code is almost always more relaxed. Expect to be surrounded by vibrant colors and gorgeous flowers.
Colors are always significant, but the season in which the wedding is held has a greater influence. Obviously, some green should be there, perhaps in a lighter shade for the spring and summer months and a darker shade for the autumn months. Garden themes are fantastic since they allow you to use nearly every color in the spectrum. In a garden, it’s only natural to see a rainbow of colors.
A charming atmosphere will be created with lots of luscious flowers, fresh greenery, and candles strewn around, filled with flower fragrances, birds singing, and sunlight. I recommend using pastel colors such as pink, white, light blue, and green, but you can use bolder colours if you choose.
For a spring garden wedding, lush floral chandeliers, garlands, table runners, chair décor, arches, and aisle lining all ideal. Make a romance stage with flowers on the sofa and a refined crystal chandelier to shoot stunning photos in a floral swing.
Line your aisle with petals and create a stunning luxuriant flower arch or altar with candles.
Table Setting
Beautiful floral centerpieces, candles, and flowy silk table runners are all must-haves. For an outdoor wedding, nothing beats floral décor, so use as many as you can. Make stunning textural centerpieces, add flowers to each place setting, and mix flowing fabric and fresh greenery table garlands.
Live potted plants in small containers could also be utilized to decorate the reception location and then given away to guests as the event comes to a close. With a little complementary ribbon, textiles, a hot glue gun, ingenuity, and some spare time, plain pots can be transformed into pretty stunning decorations to match your theme.
Insects are an important component of gardening, but they can also be irritating. Bees, birds, and butterflies provide perfect ornamental elements on invitations, place cards, and wedding favors because insects and flora can be adorable as well. Garden themed wedding gifts could also include packets of flower seeds.
Wedding Cakes
Because most wedding and shower cakes have a floral motif, the wedding cake design will most likely be simple. The key will be to make yours one-of-a-kind by including a bit of your own personality and theme colors. You should develop a list of the colors and theme pieces you want to see in your cake, whether you’ll be undertaking a DIY Wedding Cake (creating it yourself) or hiring a professional wedding cake designer.
Do you want to use actual flowers that you can eat? Go ahead and do it! To view what’s available, go to your local florist. Even in my neighborhood grocery shop, I’ve seen edible flowers. Print out pictures of wedding cakes you like from magazines or famous wedding sites and blogs. Combine those ideas to create the perfect cake for your backyard wedding, which will also serve as the centerpiece.
Wedding Foods & Drinks
An outdoor wedding’s more relaxed, laid-back ambience shouts classic dishes. Summertime favorites like pulled pork sandwiches and grilled chicken are crowd-pleasing options for barbecue catering.
Popular side dishes for outdoor gatherings include macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and fresh salads, which go well with grilled meats and appeal to a wide range of tastes. The versatility of the classic grilled style for your dinner can assist to make your day more simple, fun, and tasty! Summer barbeque food is a surefire winner for an outdoor wedding.
For more pizzazz and summer flavor, consider mixing fruity cocktails with beer and cider. Create a specialty drink with a fruity element—perhaps a light, breezy cocktail with strawberries—so your guests can enjoy something other than beer and wine.
A crochet piece with floral details is the way to go for a look that’s on trend but will never go out of style. For a more realistic “country girl” look, opt for boots rather than heels.
For those who desire a more relaxed but still polished style, a tiered dress with delicate embroidery is a fantastic alternative. This is an excellent option for modest ladies who want something whimsical yet a little more laid-back on their wedding day.
