Designer Q&A — What Couples Should Know Before Choosing a Garden Venue

What décor works best for garden weddings?

We recommend:

• Aisle florals or a full floral runner

• A chuppah/mandap or garden arch

• Minimal but intentional floral layering (no need to overpower nature)
  

What’s the biggest challenge with outdoor weddings?

Weather.
For that reason, we always encourage couples to choose a venue with a strong indoor backup option that still matches their aesthetic.

Is a floral arch necessary?

Not always — but an arch, chuppah, or structured backdrop helps shape the ceremony visually and anchor the couple in photos.

Do garden weddings require more or less décor?

It depends on the venue and the couple’s vision.
Some locations only need aisle florals, while others look beautiful with a sculptural arch or floral runners.
