Garden glory

1/11

This church wedding was transformed into a dreamy garden-esque setting thanks to a painted floral backdrop, lush green garland and a lawn aisle runner. Sparkling lights tied to the pews delivered extra romance.

So lit

2/11

If yours is an industrial chic party, reflect it in your decor with bright neon signs and a wire mesh rack, then lend a warm glow with strings of light bulbs. Make it extra wedding-worthy with tropical leaves for a lively vibe, or pretty it up with lush blooms.

Rustic meets tropical

3/11

This eclectic mix of rustic vintage elements with leafy tropical accents blended perfectly with the garden cafe (see also: 10 outdoor cafes in Singapore for pretty garden weddings) that is Open Farm Community. Instead of logos (this was for a corporate event), you can include your couple snaps, love quotes or your wedding date.
