Planning a garden wedding can be lots of fun. A garden setting offers one of the most romantic and sensual locations for celebrating your special day. Remember to keep it simple and elegant. Below you will find ideas on how to achieve the ultimate garden wedding of your dreams.
When planning a garden wedding, a good wedding idea is to employ live music rather than recorded. Open air is ideal for musical instruments and can add to the whimsical quality of the day. Consider an acoustic guitar, harp or violin.
Another thing that you ought to give particular attention to when planning a garden wedding party is your garden wedding cake. To avoid the risk of getting them all messed up and ruining your investment and your wedding in the process, the cake for a garden wedding should be placed inside the tent, securely propped on a sturdy table. By doing this, you can protect your outdoor wedding cake from the heat of the sun, rain, or from birds flying up above.
One of the factors that can truly make your garden wedding look nice is lighting (if it takes place during the evening of course). A nice layout of lights can bring a whole different mood to your wedding. It can add elegance or even a feeling of magic. Another great use of lighting is through lamps. Arranging little lamps on certain spots can be the perfect lighting for a garden wedding. When planning the lighting, always keep in mind the safety of your guests, and this includes isolating the cables in case any children are present.
Of course, your bridal entourage attire should also blend well with your garden wedding setting. Good colors to go for are pink, celadon green or lavender. As for the material, use fabrics like organza or chiffon.
Now, you may just be wondering what the perfect wedding gown would be in a garden wedding setting. It’s only natural that you would want to look stunning --- and you will, more so if you wear something soft and feminine-looking. Fabrics such as organza or chiffon are ideal. You can also have some romantic floral designs or garden-related accents in your gown to bring out the extra charm. Top this off with pearl bridal jewelry, such as a pair of drop pearl earrings --- that would really look marvelous!
When it comes to food, dishes appropriate to your garden wedding setting include cheese puffs and cucumber sandwiches with lemonade or champagne punch, fresh vegetables and chicken or lamb. Avoid serving dishes covered in rich sauces.
The weather is one of the first things that you should consider when planning a garden wedding. Whichever part of the globe you are in, you can never tell what the weather will be like on a particular day. Perhaps, there is no more unpredictable as the weather, so the best thing to do, then, is to take the necessary precautions. You can, for example, buy an outdoor wedding tent large enough to accommodate your wedding guests, or you can simply rent one. If you cannot find a big one, you can have several smaller tents, instead. The thing is, always come prepared for any eventualities that may arise.
As you can see from these ideas, creativity is essential if you want your garden wedding decor to complement the beauty of the garden. It is better to brainstorm a lot of ideas for decoration, and narrow those down to the ones that you think are best for the wedding. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a nice wedding decoration, in fact decorating a wedding in a garden is easier than other types of weddings, so don’t add too much stuff to the garden.
