Are you a Green Thumb? Do you enjoy gardening or visits to the arboretum? Capturing the beauty of the outdoors is a common theme among weddings. Gardens remind us of love and romance, taking us back to novels and tales that set our hearts a-flutter. That’s why I love Vintage Garden Weddings.
Set amongst the backdrop of nature, your event can be set under the stars, or under the morning light. There are so many ways that you can reinforce your Vintage Garden theme, and here are just a few ideas.
- A whimsical Garden cupcake topper, like those found at Lollipop Workshop.
- Give guests a romantic floral handkerchief as their take-home favor. You can find beautiful vintage ones at Sadie Olive, Vintage Nelly, and Artemisia’s Closet.
- Arrange your ceremony programs in a vintage garden cart. You can find carts at Garden Plant Stands and Hobby Lobby.
- A lovely treat for your guests would be Flower Pot Cupcakes. Martha Stewart has a great recipe and tutorial here. I’ve made them before, and believe me – not only will they impress your guests, but they taste delicious!
- Instead of a regular satin ring pillow, have your Ring Bearer carry your rings on a lovely tufted moss ring pillow. You can learn how to make them at this tutorial at Once Wed, or if you aren’t very good at DIY Projects, you can purchase one similar at April Hiler Design.
There’s so many possibilities with this theme. What would you include in a Vintage Garden theme wedding?
It’s common for couples to focus on the wedding planning while leaving the fun, loving, romantic, adventurous and (insert your adjective here) first vacation as man and wife to sit the side for later thought. Your honeymoon should be “the vacation” of a lifetime. You know… the experience that you always look back on and say, “This was perfect. We’re going to return here every year (five years, ten years, or for our ____ anniversary). That’s exactly how it should be.
Maroma Resort and Spa is located in Mayan Riviera (Riviera Maya). Perfectly situated at the corner of the Yucatan jungle and the blue Caribbean, you’ll immediately feel at peace as you escape for our fast paced lives of today. A quick flight and a short drive will take you to your Honeymoon Hideaway!
I love learning about other cultures and seeing those cultures and traditions incorporated into a couple’s wedding day. A perfect example of this was a lovely Indian Wedding that I had the pleasure of helping out with.
This was my first ever Indian Wedding experience. Atlanta-based event planning company Kis3 Event Planning contacted us to see if we would be interested in helping coordinate this two-day wedding with their team. I was excited to be part of it, and I learned a lot about Indian traditions. The girls from Kis3 taught me the meaning of all the different ceremonies, and my favorite would have to be Bharat.
Bharat is the Indian tradition where the Groom rides a white horse to his Bride’s home. His family follow him, dancing along the way – like a big, colorful parade, with drums and music and celebrating. Then when he arrives at her home, the Bride and her family welcome in the Groom and his side of the family. This tradition was modernized for this Houston wedding at Hotel ZaZa. Instead of a white horse, the Groom rode in a yellow Viper, and the Houston Police Department were on hand to direct traffic while the Bharat festivities hit the streets of the Houston Museum District.
The Bride really liked bright colors, and her palette reflected that Indian flair with modern Western touches such as glass cube vases, along with the swanky Hotel Zaza ambience.
The wedding went wonderfully, capturing all the color and fun of India, but with a modern Western twist.
