Flower Garden Weddings

Flowers make wonderful wedding decorations. Why not plan your wedding at a local flower garden or arboretum? Most arboretums have wedding packages; they can help you create a colorful and aromatic ceremony surrounded by the beauty of nature. Some offer lovely indoor areas for receptions, dressing and for moving the wedding inside when the weather doesn't cooperate. Prices for the package may vary according to the services you require.
Local parks may also include some breathtaking garden areas that can accommodate your wedding. Some may allow you to reserve covered areas for little or no cost, providing you shelter from the sun or rain when necessary. The brides and attendants will probably need to show up in their wedding clothes, but most other wedding needs can be taken care of on location.

Eco-Friendly Weddings
-
If green living is a passion you both share, create an environmentally friendly wedding. Send invitations by email. Pick your wedding flowers from local gardens or your local florist.
Choose your wedding attire from high-end resale shops or borrow gowns from family or friends. You might choose your wedding dresses or suits from what you already have in your closet, or you may opt to pick something you will be able to wear again after the wedding.
Choose organic ingredients from local gardens and farmer's markets for the reception. Use real dishes and serving utensils instead of plastic; toss flower petals, bird seed or use bubbles for your grand send off.
The Unexpected Wedding
-
Invite friends and family over for a party; don't tell them it's a wedding. Have them bring a dish and ask them to dress up or down according to your preference. Hand your guests disposable cameras at the door and ask them to take pictures at the party.
Start the music and invite your guests to help you celebrate your lesbian union. Bring your officiant to the center of the room and exchange your vows.
