Planning an outdoor garden wedding?
Venues with attractive outdoor space and gardens are high up on the must have list for couples seeking their perfect wedding venue in 2022 and 2023. Ok so the UK weather might be unpredictable but this hasn’t stopped brides and grooms searching for venues to hold an outdoor ceremony or looking for locations that permit a garden wedding feel with the use of tipi or marquee hire. More couples than ever are choosing a relaxed outdoor wedding with an increase of 284% on people typing “garden wedding” into search engines in 2022 alone!
Cost effective natural wedding decor!
Perhaps you don’t want to actually hold your ceremony and reception outside but you love the idea of making use of mother nature’s backdrop for your wedding photography. An April/May wedding could mean that you’re blessed with the beauty of blossom trees or if you’re planning a July/August wedding you could incorporate the fresh foliage and colourful flowers that grace gardens in summer.
Manicured hedges, water fountains or walled rose gardens provide the perfect, romantic setting for your wedding day!
Meadows – the must have floral arrangement for 2022/23!
Choose decor and styling that falls effortlessly into the natural surroundings with multipurpose meadows! We’re huge fans of these floor standing floral arrangements as they’re super versatile and can be used in a number of ways whether it’s defining your aisle, framing your ceremony backdrop/arch or staging your top table! A statement decor piece that is guaranteed to wow! Meadow floral displays are often unstructured with a really organic and effortless feel to them.
Top tip – Select scented options of florals to be incorporated into your meadows and style out with an abundance of clear glass candlelight. Scent styling is a growing market with the importance of evoking memories through multiple senses such as smell becoming more popular for special occasions.
Choosing a soft pastel colour palette
A soft pastel colour palette will offer a timeless look of seasonal elegance. Sat amongst clear glassware and candlelight, this look is feminine, uplifting and timeless. Spring/summer weddings will be filled with pretty pastels and depending on the month in which you get married, you’ll have a stunning range of seasonal blooms to choose from.
Textured styling
The use of texture at outdoor weddings can be really effective as a subtle nod towards the ruggedness of the surroundings. It adds depth and intrigue on a visual level for your wedding guests. Place mats are a great option to define settings with water hyacinth place mats fast becoming a popular choice with couples. Layered with a contrasting linen like these beautiful sage napkins, you can create beautiful tables with carefully thought out decor pieces.
