Planning a wedding in a garden is one the best ways to celebrate the big day, allowing couples to immerse themselves amidst natural surroundings while enjoying a romantic evening. Furthermore, selecting the appropriate wedding attire significantly contributes to the charm of the event. Meanwhile, carefully choose the bridesmaids’ dresses to ensure they complement both the wedding dress and the outdoor setting.
Color Choice: Harmonize with the Plants
To achieve a balanced aesthetic highlighting the garden’s natural beauty, it is essential to select appropriate color schemes accordingly. Colors that are best suited to the outdoor venue will elevate the special occasion charm.
Pastel Colors: The green perfectly complements pastel hues like lilac, lavender, peach, and blush, giving the wedding party a natural feel.
Bold Colors: If you want bolder or more vibrant colors, go with dark shades of green or burgundy that provide contrast and depth without influencing the natural surroundings. Matching the primary flower arrangements or the bridesmaids’ dress colors with floral accessories can exquisitely coordinate the entire picture. For instance, if your wedding takes place in May, chic lilac bridesmaid dresses can effortlessly create an exquisite style that complements the garden’s natural appeal.
Fabric Choice: Comfort Comes First
Bridesmaids have the duty to help the bride have a perfect day, so it is important to ensure the comfort of their dresses, especially when you’re planning a wedding in open spaces like a garden, where the weather can vary or change instantly. Here, the choice of fabric really matters to keep bridesmaids comfortable and gorgeous all day long.
Winter: Satin or velvet fabric materials are suitable for cooler months, providing a touch of elegance and warmth, especially in the cold. They have an excellent drape, enhancing the beauty of longer gowns.
Spring and Summer: Chiffon or organza are light and breathable fabrics perfect for the hottest months. These fabrics are lightweight, allowing you to stay cool and move freely, making them ideal for outdoor settings.
Tips: You may also need to consider what flowers will bloom in your wedding season and prepare some umbrellas if it is a rainy month.
Style Choice: Allow Different Styles
Planning a wedding in a garden allows for flexibility in the attire, allowing more freedom for personal style, as garden settings are inherently nature-inspired.
Necklines: Allow each bridesmaid to select a neckline that suits her personality. A variety of options, such as sweetheart, V-neck, and off-the-shoulder styles, make each individual feel comfortable and confident.
Lengths: Full-length dresses are an all-time favorite and provide a formal touch to any event, whereas tea-length or knee-length alternatives also add a whimsical vibe that is best suited to informal events.
Footwear: Flat sandals or wedges are perfect for garden weddings where the ground is uneven. However, wearing heels in such areas is quite challenging.
Accessories: Delicate floral hairpieces or small jewelry are also effective, complementing rather than dominating the outfit. DIY floral crowns are also a great idea, especially when you have access to the best flowers in your garden!
Tips: Let the groomsmen wear gray suits if possible, which will create an elegant vibe and make it easier to harmonize with the wedding attire of women.
Final Thoughts
Organizing a wedding in a garden requires thorough planning, which includes dress, fabric, color, footwear, and styles that perfectly blend with the garden surroundings. You can choose to consult a wedding planner and don’t forget to communicate with your bridesmaids. Surrounded by flowers and green plants, accompanied by the laughter and blessings of relatives and friends, a garden wedding will surely add infinite beauty to your day!
