From May to August every year we celebrate the wedding season. These are the summer months and they are perfect for having a garden wedding. The garden wedding has always been a tried and trusted favorite for couples getting married, but this has expanded in the 21st century to even more unconventional venues such as the zoo, the beach, national parks, vineyards and other venues of the less traditional type.

The summer season is ideal for out of doors weddings. Long lazy afternoons and stunning sunsets make the perfect backdrop for being married. Although sunsets cannot be ordered at will, if you are one of the lucky ones, you might just experience one at your wedding. Exchanging vows in the fresh air makes for something completely different.

Keeping things simple for a garden wedding will ensure that it is elegant and everyone has a good time. Out of doors settings don’t require a load of expensive d?cor, they are already beautiful. Center pieces and flower arrangements with fruit and vegetables in them work very well and even a simple centre piece of sunflowers contained in tin watering cans look great when you place it on a table laid with gingham table linen. Lighting in your garden setting can be accomplished by means of candles, fairy lights or lanterns.
