Tips for your Wedding Day

Embrace the natural surroundings: The beauty of a secret garden wedding is the stunning natural surroundings. Work with the existing scenery and landscape to create a magical atmosphere for your big day.

Choose the right time of day: Consider the time of day you will be having your ceremony and reception. If the garden is in full sun, consider having your ceremony later in the day when the sun is not as harsh.

Pay attention to the weather: While an outdoor wedding can be magical, it’s important to be prepared for all weather conditions. Have a backup plan in case of rain or extreme heat, and ensure guests are informed of any changes.

Keep the decor simple: The garden itself is the main decoration, so keep your decor simple and let the natural beauty shine. Use floral arrangements and greenery to enhance the garden’s natural beauty.

Provide comfortable seating: Make sure your guests are comfortable by providing plenty of seating options. Consider using rustic benches, vintage chairs, or soft cushions to add to the garden theme.

Provide adequate lighting: If you plan on having your reception in the garden, make sure to provide adequate lighting for the evening. Soft string lights or lanterns can add a magical touch to the garden.
