there’s not many wedding themes more magical than a modern garden wedding. a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and natural beauty, a garden wedding with modern details makes for an enchanting celebration. if you are hoping to host a modern garden wedding theme#aandbabe kim and nicholas have laid out the key details to focus on.

gorgeous garden wedding venue

finding an outdoor wedding venue for a modern garden wedding can be tricky. ideally, you want a lush wedding location that includes amenities such as breathtaking views, elegant architecture, and more.

when searching for a wedding venue, kim and nicholas found a golf club that fit their wedding vision. winner of best country club/golf course venue from oregon bride magazine’s best of 2023 awards, the oregon golf club served as an idyllic setting for kim and nicholas’ courtyard wedding and indoor reception.

blossoming wedding color palettes with shades of blush and brown

one way in which kim and nicholas crafted a blossoming garden wedding color palette is by infusing soft pastels and earth tones into every detail. kim’s bridesmaids wore nude silk bridal robes during the morning and later changed into silk champagne bridesmaids dresses.

the venue’s natural accents, such as oversized windows and dark wood paneling made their natural decor even more seamless. with pops of greenery, bistro lights, and more, kim and nicholas carefully selected every garden wedding touch.

stone and florals wedding aisle

one of the best examples of the couple’s dedication to whimsy and natural design can be seen in the decorations at their outdoor wedding garden ceremony. transforming the club’s courtyard into a garden wonderland, floral installations lined the stone walkway.

white folding chairs sat on either side of the aisle and the couple’s greenery wedding arch was accented by an organic bush-like arrangement of white flowers at the altar. the charm of the traditional clubhouse in the background, added to the grandeur of this outdoor wedding ceremony.

effortless bridal gown for glamorous garden wedding

when shopping for a wedding dress, kim wanted a bridal look that exuded modern garden elegance. wanting her gown to stand out among the intricate floral details, kim chose a fitted crepe wedding dress.

discovering an elegant alyssa kristin wedding dress, kim said yes to ‘emery’ gown. this thin strap crepe wedding dress had a plunging neckline and mesh side cutouts.

combining timeless grace with a touch of whimsy, kim added a beaded bridal belt to the seam of her simple alyssa kristin wedding dress. the sparkle of this sequin bridal belt matched kim’s delicate drop earrings.

wearing her hair down with a middle part, kim completed her chic bridal look with a statement veil. wearing a blusher layer over her head, we love the romantic bridal portraits of kim before her walk down the aisle.

garden romance sweetheart wedding table

ending the evening with toasts at their sweetheart table, kim and nicholas glowed in newlywed bliss. their sweetheart table included greenery decor and floating candles in glass pillars. soaking in these special moments in the flicker of candlelight with their closest family and friends, was the perfect way to start this next chapter!
