8 Inspiring Garden-Themed Wedding Ideas for Your Big Day

There is something so beautiful and timeless about hosting a dreamy garden wedding. The setting, intricacies and overall vibe are incredibly romantic, especially during the warmer seasons. Even without a garden, there are lots of outdoor wedding venues in London you can transform into the flower-filled soirée of your dreams.

In this blog post, we’ve curated a list of our favourite garden wedding details to help you plan your botanical-themed big day. From bloom-filled tablescapes to fresh flower arrangements, these essentials are sure to blow your guests’ minds and give them an unforgettable experience.

Make a Signature Display

Since flowers are a staple for any garden-themed event, ensure you splash them in every element of your celebration. From the moment your guests walk into your wedding venue, let them know it is a garden-themed affair. The welcome sign is among the first things your guests will see, so it is vital that you adorn it with flowers. Additionally, you can incorporate flowers into your seating chart. Placing pressed wildflowers along tablecloths and topping them off with table assignments is a fantastic idea.

Flowers in Your Hair, Dresses and Shoes!

Accent your hair with a floral crown, or if you are going for an effortless look, consider loosely placing flowers in your strands. Also, don’t let your venue steal all the limelight when you have the most potent weapon – your wedding gown. Go for a dress with floral lace, or if you’re feeling bold, include floral embroidery on your veil. For your bridal team, consider mismatched floral options. In addition to your bridesmaids being able to pick their own dresses, the mix-and-match style also blends nicely into the laid-back feel of a garden wedding. 

Leaves Instead of Place Cards

Ditch the conventional place cards and usher your guests to their seats with elegant leaf place cards. Get leaves from a colourful garden and use a marker to indicate your guests’ names. Developing decorative pieces for your big event is an enjoyable activity, so ensure you involve your friends. In addition to being unique, leaf place cards are also environmentally friendly.

Gold Accents

Elegance is at the centre of the best wedding decoration ideas, so ensure you follow table-setting etiquette. Decorate the tables with luxurious centrepieces and gold-trimmed runners. Throw in some glass jars embellished with gold prints and filled with fresh flowers. To firm up your look, bring in an aura of sophistication with the help of gold cutlery. 

Flower-Adorned Cake

Another garden-themed wedding idea to hop on is flower-adorned cakes. Consider varieties like violets, pansies and roses that are edible and pesticide-free and enquire from your guests to determine if any of them have allergies to certain flowers. As for the cake design, go for one that complements the garden theme, such as a tiered cake or a semi-naked cake adorned with fresh blooms. Work with a baker who understands the importance of using edible flowers and knows how to prepare and position them on the cake.

Overgrown Is Always Better

With the correct dose of flowers, transforming your wedding venue into your own garden is easy. Wedding planners recommend filling the spaces between chairs with overgrown greenery and wildflowers. The more overgrown your arrangements are, the more natural your venue looks. 

Gauzy Chairs

Do you want to make your garden setting feel even more ethereal? Why not try dressing up the chairs with a gauzy material such as tulle? A translucent white fabric, in particular, creates a dreamy vibe and is perfect for intimate settings. You can then enhance the look with potted floral arrangements.

Floral Linens

We totally understand if you want floral-patterned linens for your reception tables. Like placemats or napkins, floral linens effortlessly give your tablescape a fresh garden feel. We suggest going for a floral runner that makes a bold statement against the tablecloth as this will help outline the theme.
