Spring Color Palette

A garden themed wedding lends itself so well to a light, romantic, spring palette! Incorporating lots of pinks, oranges, yellows, etc., whether through florals, decor, or attire, can bring the theme to life!

Incorporate these refreshing colors into decor, floral arrangements, and attire to elevate your celebration.

Outdoor Venues

Choosing a venue that lends itself to a romantic, garden theme, can not only help set the stage, but also simplify the decor and arrangements needed to achieve the theme. Selecting a venue with both outdoor and indoor spaces can help with this! Botanical gardens, garden venues, and even some zoos can be great venue choices for a garden wedding!

Whether a whimsical outdoor celebration or a romantic al fresco affair, choosing a garden venue can truly set the stage.

Table Runners

Incorporating long, flowing table runners into your garden theme wedding can add such a romantic touch to your reception decor. Especially by using a lighter, flowier fabric, you can truly infuse the reception with a garden theme.

Bridal party

For a garden wedding, consider choosing attire that reflects the seasonal colors and surroundings. Soft colors, muted pastels or floral-inspired prints can be a great choice for bridesmaid dresses, while fabrics such as chiffon or lace can add a sense of elegance.

To further embrace the garden theme, floral accessories like boutonnieres, corsages, or hair adornments can be incorporated into the bridal party's overall look.
