If you’re trying to create that formal garden party wedding vibe, these are the things I see work every single time as a marriage celebrant.
Over the years I’ve watched countless ceremonies and there are a few elements that instantly lift the atmosphere and make the whole day feel elegant, relaxed and beautifully put together.
A clear guest dress code 👗
When guests know the vibe, they lean into it. Linen suits, florals, soft colours. Suddenly the entire wedding looks cohesive in photos and the whole space feels intentional.
Live musicians 🎶
Strings, piano or an acoustic duo instantly changes the mood. It feels relaxed, romantic and very garden party.
Statement florals 🌼
Lush arrangements and abundant florals make a huge difference. Garden party styling works best when the flowers feel full and natural rather than minimal.
Signature cocktails straight after the ceremony 🍸
This keeps the energy flowing. Guests grab a drink, mingle on the lawn and the celebration starts immediately.
A beautiful garden setting💡
Think lawns, lush garden beds, festoon lights and big umbrellas. When the location already feels magical, you don’t have to force the styling.
And if you’re planning a wedding like this, your ceremony should match that same relaxed but elevated vibe too.
My signature ceremony package Love is in the Air is designed exactly for couples who want a wedding that feels personal, joyful and completely them.
