Getting married in the garden can be fun! Especially post-pandemic, you can practice social distancing and still have a good time. Assuming you've found the perfect garden for your event, now is the time to think about accessories. Here is our list of the top 5 garden wedding accessories:

Transparent umbrella
Yes, it rains...it happens a lot in the UK, so you need to have a Clear transparent waterproof umbrella on your stand to hand out to your guests. Luckily, they're gorgeous these days and you won't mind the rain! You can match them with your color scheme or keep them clear. Plus, they're a great accessory for wedding photos.

Fairy lights
Lights are one of the most important decorations in any type of wedding, but when you think of garden weddings as fairytale lights, the first thing that comes to your mind is. Flashes as it gets darker outside. They bring a magical, dream come true vibe. Candles are also a good option.

Signs and boards
Since there are no corridors outdoors, you need signs to point your guests in the direction of the buffet/menu, bar, restrooms...they are also a great way to create memories. Think seating plans or guest escort cards. You can also place some instant cameras around the table for guests to take pictures and pin the pictures to the board later to showcase them.

Flowers
Gardens usually already have a fair amount of greenery and flowers, but you can add more flowers to the tables and seating areas by theme. Flowers and trees will be your wedding. Planning a wedding usually starts early, so you can go ahead and plant some extra annual flowers (they only live one year), such as angelica, cedar, begonia, or marigolds, for an Indian wedding feel.

Blanket
Your guests will appreciate this gesture when it gets dark and the ladies in cute dresses start to chill. It also adds to the comfort when it's raining...you can also organize a small campfire in the evening around which the last guest can sit with a blanket and wine glasses.

Planning a garden wedding is best kept casual, and the atmosphere is definitely more important than the expensive decorations. As long as you keep your guests comfortable and entertained, you'll have the best time of your life!
