Looking for suggestions for a garden themed wedding…?

Posted by: 3 Putt In: Backyard Putting Greens

My fiance and I are going to get married in my grandfathers backyard, but I do not want a typical outdoor, barbecue type wedding. We are going to have a caterer, bartender, etc. I would like to got with a "Garden of Eden" theme and use dark red flowers, apples, plums, and other greens to create a sensual atmosphere. What else should I think about doing in order to keep a good mood? We plan on putting up lanterns, lots of candles, and fresh flowers. Any suggestions would help!

Garden of eden sounds great! You can go to your local home & garden store & pick up some topiaries, add some clear lights, that always looks elegant. If you’ll be renting a tent, decorate the inside with chiffon & lights. Just be sure to keep the candles away from any falling leaves that may catch on fire. Lanterns can be used to light a walkway/pathway to the reception area. Tea lights are great. Look for long burning tea lights or votives. You can rent pillars & decorate with chiffon & lights, add a nice ivy & twig arrangement, it will give it a great garden feeling. Hope you get your garden of eden for your big day!

Lots of cool snakes. Can’t wait to have you post pics of you and your groom in fig leaves! Just joshin’!!!
It would be nice to have a gazebo or arbour of some sort – maybe that can be rented. Otherwise, an archway or trellis with vines and flowers would really add to the atmosphere. Sounds like a lovely idea! Good luck.

One neat idea I’ve seen done uses apples to hold the table numbers. Print out cards with the numbers and adhere to a stick to place in the apple. It’s a cute idea that certainly ties into your theme.
