Venue

A garden wedding can be a small romantic celebration in your own back yard, or you could go big as in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Ontario, where you could invite up to 300 guests and have on-site catering. No matter the size, there are lots of great ideas to include in your party for an atmosphere that will be a memorable occasion for everyone. Place your garden chairs around long banquet tables and dress them up with an accent fabric bow. Arrange your floral décor down the center and for the marriage ceremony and place a pergola feature filled with vines and flowers to match. It’s fine to be fun and creative after all, this is your special day! Place little fairy lights around the garden as it will set an ambiance in the evening and make sure to have a light jacket or cardigan to cover shoulders in the evening.

 

Food

When your guests arrive, offer them a choice of delicious cocktails, a mint julip, or any type of signature drink. If non-alcoholic is an option, make something fruity. Have a sit-down or buffet style menu with lots of help-yourself dishes. Seafood, beef, and chicken along with salads and fresh seasonable vegetables. Have a beautiful wedding cake decorated with rosebuds and cupcakes filled with fruit, covered in buttercream. Later in the evening, you could serve mini pizzas and small sandwiches and even a popcorn station. Did you know you could hire a feature truck to park on your property and serve anything from burgers to ice cream? Before your guests leave the party send them home with a party favor, a small plant pot with your special date engraved on the front, fill it with flower seeds.
