Beautiful Garden Weddings Surrounded by Love

Among all the different typea of weddings, garden weddings are certainly among the most colorful, natural and beautiful. The pure love of the people getting married surrounded by the fresh purity of nature makes for a picture perfect backdrop. As always though, there are a few important elements to consider when planning the event.

Garden weddings need not be held exclusively outdoors but the more natural weddings are those held under soft sunlight and covered with many plants and flowers. Other garden theme options may be to rent a conservatory or a hot house big enough to house you and your guests.

Practical considerations

Some garden weddings are also held at rooftop gardens where your privacy is kept well. You just have to consider that space and guests to be able to accommodate everybody. Some people also hold garden wedding in public gardens and just cordon off the perimeter of their area to prevent wedding crashers.

As for all social events taking place outdoors, the weather is something you must account for - having a marquee or tent handy in case of rain or extremely hot sunlight. Depending on the locations you may also have various animals or insects to deal with. Nothing could be worse than having ants strolling away with the content in your picknick basket (I'm thinking Donald Duck here) or squirrels dancing around your wedding cake.

Speaking of cake, that is a part of the wedding you could also have made to match the garden theme of your choosing. Take note of the colors of the flowers and trees to be bale to integrate the colors in your cake or giveaways. Garden weddings might also benefit from a couple of swans in an artificial pond. These add to the beauty and ambience of the area. Some garden owners may agree to put up an artificial pond as long as there is someone to monitor the animals.

You might also want to ask the priest where you will get married if they have large enough grounds where you can set up the reception of the wedding for a garden theme in the reception. You can establish boundaries by putting up a marquee or just velvet ropes around the perimeter of your reception tables.

Finally, regardless of where your wedding is to be held, don't forget that the people attendeng are most often as important as the venue itself. Size and appearance can actually be secondary to the genuine loving atmosphere the people closest to you can "deliver".
