Romantic Green Garden Wedding Ideas

Dec 22nd

by: Lauren

Even though yesterday marked the official start of winter, we’re so in love with these beautifully romantic green garden wedding ideas designed by Andi Mans! Andi envisioned a wedding day that celebrated the outdoors while also offering the prettiest peeks of elegance. Y’all, one quick glance at the amazing bridal bouquet or tablescape, and you will realize she 100% delivered at The Acre Orlando! The stationery designed by Cami Monet Watercolor & Calligraphy is stealing our hearts with its stunning grey and gold color palette…not to mention the organic calligraphy that pairs perfectly with the garden, industrial design of the shoot. You’re going to swoon when you see the bride’s Badgley Mischka gown paired with the loveliest veil from Casa di Bella Bridal Boutique, a Cut the Cake, Inc cake that we’re sure is just as delectable as it is pretty, and so much more. You simply must pause and dive headfirst into all of the images captured by Emma Shourds Photography!

Sara and Dominic’s Orlando wedding took place at Casa Feliz in December, and being that they both love Christmas, it was perfect timing! Knowing that the Spanish inspired venue would be decorated for the holidays already, they chose a color palette filled with shades of red and cranberry and metallic champagne and gold tones. The result was a classy, elegant fete, filled with love and holiday cheer, and we adore how beautifully PSJ Photography captured the day!

What was your color palette and your style vision?

My color palette consisted of metallic tones of champagne and gold with pops of garnet and raspberry. I knew our venue would have Christmas decorations (which we LOVE) so I wanted to feed off of that. I envisioned classy and elegant details yet simple so there wasn’t too much going on.

What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be?

Be organized! I had a binder with tabs that separated out each major element of my wedding. ex. venue, music, lighting, expenses etc. This helped me keep track of everything and was easy to access when everything seems so hectic. Start planning as soon as possible! Pick your venue first then plan around that because the venue will determine the amount of people you will have, the type of atmosphere you want, and will set the tone for your wedding. When making decisions, think about you and your husband and how this celebration represents you because it is all about you. Finally, when the timeline starts narrowing make a weekly to do list so you don’t feel so overwhelmed. Then the last week try to relax and take it all in because everything will fall into place and be absolutely perfect. Enjoy the process because it can be fun and exciting :)

The holidays are officially here, and although it’s 80 degrees here in Florida, we’re doing everything we can to stay in the Holiday Spirit- including falling head over heels in love with this red and green wedding inspiration! Local evergreens, luscious red and burgundy blooms, and seasonal fruits all played a gorgeous part in creating the stunning florals that Kennedy Occasions designed for this winter inspired look. Jennifer Cody Weddings captured the full shoot created by the most talented Nashville wedding pros, and we can’t wait for you to also fall in love with this holiday inspired design!

From Emily of Kennedy Occasions:

With winter upon us, we were inspired by the fruits of the season. Mixed with local evergreens, we wanted to feel very merry and showcase large blooms, seasonal fruits and a glamorous, festive tablescape in our design. We decided upon a traditional color scheme of rich reds and burgundies to pop against the neutral tones of the barn but highlight the beautiful Southern facade of the homestead. This was a project of true collaboration: each of us bringing our expertise to the table and each playing off the other’s ideas and design to achieve the end result. Such an incredible way to round out our wedding seasons!

Kira and Brent’s Charleston wedding took place at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, and although it wasn’t necessarily bright and sunny day, it was everything that Kira wanted. The couple’s first look in a lush garden was a perfect start to their romantic wedding day, followed by a heartwarming ceremony under an expansive oak tree. A color palette of red, burgundy, and rose was perfectly romantic, with finishing, glamorous touches added by gold accents throughout the reception. Dana Cubbage Weddings was there to capture Kira and Brent’s entire wedding day, and we can’t wait for you to be as inspired by the romantic glam beauty as we were!

From Dana Cubbage Weddings:

Although it’s a photographer’s dream for cloudy and overcast wedding days, brides usually want sun… and lots of it! Not Kira. She loves the moody, romantic feel of an overcast day — and for the most part, she got her wish! Although the sun did peek out a few times in the afternoon, the clouds stayed thick overhead for most of the day, which made for one happy bride! The day started with a sweet First Look in Flowerdale garden, followed by portraits around the stunning grounds of Magnolia Plantations. We met up with their fabulous bridal party on the avenue of oaks, then headed to the Carriage House for their ceremony under a beautiful oak tree. The reception space looked incredible thanks to the ladies of Pure Luxe Bride. It was a very romantic and warm design. Guests enjoyed a variety of lowcountry-inspired cuisine, then danced the night away before Kira + Brent exited through a tunnel of glow sticks.
