Time is an
important factor in planning your garden wedding decorations. By
considering the time, you will be able to determine what kind of
decorations that will complement to the surroundings and to the overall
event. Let's say for example, if the reception will last until
nighttime, you can create a dreamlike atmosphere in a garden setting by
decorating a string of white lights to highlight trees and bushes. In
fact, you can add more drama to it with the use of Japanese lanterns.

Another
thing is the time of the year that your wedding is going to take place.
Are you having a summer, fall, winter or a spring wedding? If you are
getting married during the fall, for example, you can choose a color
scheme which falls into a shade between red, orange, brown or dark
yellow. Summer season is a beautiful time to go all out with the garden
wedding decorations. It is when you can use lovely pastel colors as an
accent.

The next step in planning the garden wedding decoration is
to think of the the more elaborate accents that you need. A wedding
altar is one. Gardens doesn't always have define spaces for wedding
ceremonies, so you may have to create your own. An arch will serve for
this purpose. It will define the altar under which you will say your "I
dos". You can dress up an arch with garlands, balloon arrangement, or a
string of lights. Add as much flowers as possible (silk or fresh) for
more color. This would actually be the focal point as compared to the
other garden wedding decoration pieces. Therefore, it is important to
put more concentration on this part than any other.

Furthermore,
there should be an arrangement of chairs in front of the wedding arch
that needs to be decorated as well. The aisles can be covered with
petals. Centerpieces made up of flowers, ribbons and candles are best
decors for the guests' tables, the buffet table, the cake table and the
gift table.
Now, the good thing about holding this type of a
wedding is that you can save on the costs of booking for another venue
for the reception. Also, it would be convenient for the guests not to
travel from one location to another if the ceremony and reception are
held at separate locations. Overall, the key to creating a fairy-tale
like ambiance for your garden wedding is to accentuate the beauty of
nature that is already there. With the right garden wedding decorations
in hand, your wedding ceremony and reception will be an event worth
remembering.
