Today, we had the absolute honor of hosting Cake in the Garden with Not So Bland Cakes, and honestly… it feels like a dream come true to host an event like this at the gardens. 🍰🌿✨

Because what’s better than cake and gorgeous gardens?

We couldn’t be happier with how this event turned out. Every ticket purchased directly supported the MSU Horticulture Gardens, making this sweet day even more meaningful to us. 🌱

A huge thank you to Jess for bringing her love, creativity, and passion for Cake in the Garden.

We’re so grateful to our incredible baker community who joined in on the fun and shared their delicious and beautiful works of art.

We’re simply blown away to be a part of such a little snippet of joy. 🥰

We also want to give a huge shoutout to our amazing volunteers who jumped in, helped behind the scenes, and made the day run smoothly. We couldn’t do events like this without you! 🌿

And finally, a big thank you to our wonderful coffee cart vendor, Kairos Coffee.
We loved having you at the Gardens and hope to see you at many more events in the future. ☕️💕

Last but not least, we want to thank our very kind wedding yesterday and Vormittag Floral for donating their used flowers to us to use at our event and share with guests. These gorgeous arrangements really elevated our event and made our guests smile. 🌸

🌿🤍 A Must See Wedding Photo Spot at the Gardens 🤍🌿

The Monet Bridge is one of our must-see photo spots for weddings, and Alicia & Brandon's dreamy wedding photos are the perfect example of why. ✨

From the lush greenery and blooming flowers to the magical hello from our beautiful weeping willow tree that frames the bridge, every detail creates a little bit of garden magic. Add in the romantic reflections and a small school of goldfish gliding through the pond, and this enchanting spot becomes the perfect backdrop for capturing the magic of your day at the Gardens. 💚

If you're planning a wedding at the Gardens, be sure to add the Monet Bridge to your photo list. 🌿✨ 💚💐

🌿🤍 A Secret Garden Love Story 🤍🌿

Hidden past a canopy of towering trees, our Enchanted Arboretum is where these quiet gardens create the most magical backdrop for saying "I do."

We're reminiscing about Tonya & Kyle's beautiful wedding in the Clarence E. Lewis Landscape Arboretum.

From winding garden paths to a variety of stunning gardens, every corner of the arboretum feels like stepping into a storybook and seeing this love story captured here, really just highlights what makes these gardens so special.

If you've always dreamed of a wedding that feels intimate, whimsical, and surrounded by nature, our Enchanted Arboretum Collection offers a lovely backdrop for your celebration.

✨ Let the gardens share your love story.

📸 Congratulations again, Tonya & Kyle!

Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a beautiful day.
