If you have always dreamed of saying "I Do" in a garden, then a garden themed wedding is just for you! Whether you are having this celebration indoors or outdoors, garden themed weddings are simple and affordable.

Obviously, flowers are highlight of a garden style wedding. Select colors based on your mood and sentiments. Select colors that can be carried through the rest of your wedding ceremony and reception.  Many garden themed weddings include flowers such as: lush garden roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and iris. Flowers for a garden themed wedding can be loosely arranged in a beautiful vessel, such as footed urns. Avoid any centerpieces that are too modern or structured. If your wedding is outdoor, try using pots for your flower arrangements as they will not be moved during any windy moments.

To enhance the garden theme, use flowers all throughout your venue. Think outside of the box by using wreaths, garland, flower petals, etc. This creates a beautiful ambiance for any garden themed weddings.

If you have selected a color theme for your desired flowers, be sure to dress your bridal party in that color too. Plain, white and black can be transformed by just a few simple hues to really enhance the garden theme!

Selecting your food can also have a great effect on your garden theme.  Small appetizers like cheese puffs and cucumber sandwiches served with lemonade or champagne punch would be a great place to start. For the main meal, use plenty of seasonal fresh vegetables paired with lighter proteins like chicken or lamb. Stay away from dishes that are heavy, such as those covered in rich sauces.

Having your wedding in a garden or creating the feel of a garden inside is a wonderful style for your wedding. There are many garden favors available to complete the look!
