How to Organize a Garden Wedding
Getting Started
It is very easy to pull off a romantic garden wedding. All you need to have is sufficient time and of course, the budget. Think of how big or small you want the wedding to be. This should give you a good start on planning your dream wedding. If it fits the budget, a wedding planner would be of great help. Flowers and other wedding decorations, invitations and souvenirs would all depend on the motif that you have in mind. The most common are pink, green and purple color motifs. Butterfly and flower themes are also usual choices.
The most important thing to consider is the weather condition during your wedding day. However, nowadays, there are venues or modern gardens as they call it, wherein gazebos and tents are available for use. Some can accommodate 200 up to 800 guests. This type of venue also minimizes decoration problems as the features and the garden landscapes are enough to give that natural feel.
Also, make sure that necessary facilities are available in the venue of your choice. Is the power supply enough for your needs? Are there comfort rooms or washrooms for your guest? Is the place easy to locate or find? Having a kitchen in the place would also be great, especially if you are having the reception right after the ceremonies.

Down That Aisle
The wedding is set. Every single preparation is double-checked. All that is left for the soon-to-be husband and wife is to walk down on that aisle. The aisle during garden weddings is showered with flower petals to give the venue a fresh look and a nice scent.Playing music is a great way to start a wedding. It sets the mood for the guests and for the event itself. Since you are holding a garden wedding, you might want to have something hip and upbeat, which is a trend in contemporary weddings. Some couples and wedding coordinators invite musicians to play on spot. Some even asks for singers. If you prefer a different one, a sound system would be necessary. Of course, you would love to have the best day of your life documented. A photographer and a videographer would be right for the job. Just make sure that their equipments would not get in the way.
Though set outside the confinements of a church, you can still say your vows the traditional way during a garden wedding. You can have a minister or a priest take over the ceremony. Some couples tend to create their own wedding vows for personal reasons. This gives off an original and sincere feel to the promises.
The Reception
The real celebration starts after the ceremony. Fine dining usually follows the ceremonies. But for a garden wedding, you can have casual dining and buffet-style menu since you are in an outdoor setting. It is a good idea to to hire catering services. In choosing the right caterer, consider the food to be served. Most catering services offer taste tests for their customers. You also have to consider your guests' taste or preferences in foods - a must in every kind of reception.Special performances, messages from friends, and speeches from the newlyweds are sure ways to lighten up the mood of the event during garden weddings.
