The greatest strength of garden weddings is that floral decor is built in. Take advantage of gardens in the spring and summer, when most flowers are likely to be in bloom.


Garden weddings often use subtle pastels, with peach, pink and greens. Brides will often use butterfly and dragonfly motifs for paper goods. As of late, birds & twig motifs have been hot, along with cherry and apple blossoms. Use the natural beauty of your venue to set the mood.

Garden weddings are the perfect match for iced teas and fruity lemonades. You can arrange jars or pitchers full of your favorite fresh fruit mixes.

In the warm months think about shade for guests, along with adequate seating.
Wishing you some California sunshine, because it's so HOT today! B
