The benefits of planning a garden wedding ceremony
Garden ceremonies have definitely been growing in popularity over recent years, with more and more couples opting for beautiful outdoor weddings. So what are the some of the main reasons to consider a garden ceremony?
We see many couples gravitate towards a garden ceremony because of the relaxed, romantic and intimate atmosphere it creates for their nuptials. There’s something pretty special about being surrounded by lush gardens, fresh air and a stunning natural backdrop as you say your I-do’s.
Many photographers also prefer working with natural light, and a garden ceremony allows them to take advantage of your outdoor location to produce some seriously beautiful photos.

On a more practical note, a garden wedding ceremony is also the perfect option to accommodate large guest numbers. The last thing you want is for guests to feel cramped or uncomfortable during your ceremony proceedings, so opting for an outdoor ceremony can be a great solution for a larger wedding guest list.
There can also be some more flexibility and decor options available when it comes to styling a garden wedding, with the opportunity to really make it personal. From lush floral arbours to statement chairs, aisle runners or scattered petals, we love seeing our couples get creative with their garden ceremony styling!
