Whether you’re exchanging vows beneath an ancient tree, surrounded by rose-laced arches, or dancing under twinkling fairy lights on a velvet lawn, a garden wedding offers a unique sense of intimacy, natural beauty, and timeless charm. Here are some top tips to enhance your celebrations… LET NATURE SET THE MOOD THE ART OF GARDEN TABLE STYLING GARDEN COSY SETTINGS FLORALS THAT FEEL EFFORTLESS FLORAL & HERB-INFUSED SIPS unsplash.com/@anitaaustvika Draw inspiration from the surroundings to create a look that feels effortless and cohesive. Soft pastel shades like blush pink, dusty rose, lavender, sky blue, buttercream yellow, and mint green always work beautifully to evoke romance. For an understated, refined aesthetic, ivory, champagne, sage, and warm taupe blend seamlessly with greenery. If you’re leaning toward a playful, setting, opt for joyful pops of coral, peach, sunflower yellow, tangerine, and fuchsia — perfectly paired with abundant foliage. Imagine long tables dressed in crisp linens, vintage brass candlesticks, and florals spilling from every surface. Add delicate touches like personalised place cards or potted herbs, which smell wonderful and double as thoughtful favours. Layering plates adds depth and elegance: start with a large charger plate, followed by a dinner plate and salad plate. A napkin tied with twine and a sprig of lavender offers a beautiful finishing touch. Don’t forget ambient lighting like gold lanterns, hurricane candles, and hanging bulbs. unsplash.com/@anitaaustvika Set up cosy lounge areas where guests can relax and reconnect. Comfy sofas, soft rugs, and vintage cushions will create a welcoming vibe, especially when paired with ambient lighting and thoughtful extras like parasols or umbrellas for weather protection. Garden wedding florals should feel loose, unstructured, and wildly romantic. Let your arrangements spill across every part of the celebration, from table runners to arches, signage, pathways, and even hanging installations for an immersive floral experience. An outdoor bar is the perfect finishing touch for your garden wedding. Custom cocktails infused with herbs and florals, think lavender lemonade, rosemary gin fizz, or rosewater spritz, add elegance and flavour. Garnish with edible petals or citrus peels for a beautiful flourish. unsplash.com/@ahtziri unsplash.com/@_bilinskaya_ unsplash.com@anitaaustvika sunsplash.com@jsbco 46
