There's just something so timeless and pretty about garden weddings. The setting, the details, and the overall vibe are all incredibly whimsical and romantic, and especially so during the warm-weather months. That's why we can't get enough of them here at Inspired by This. With so many variations of glamorous, rustic, and simple garden weddings, the theme can work for nearly any bride and groom. To help you plan your own (or inspire you to do so!), we've put together a list of our favorite garden wedding details, so that you too can achieve the spring or summer soirée of your dreams.
From fresh florals and bloom-filled tablescapes to colorful outdoor seating and dreamy displays, these essentials promise to impress. We know the perfect hues and styles for venue-appropriate bridesmaids' dresses and flower-inspired gowns for a garden-goddess bride. And to ensure that weather doesn't rain on your parade—we'll walk you through waterproofing your venue.
