If you are planning an outdoor garden wedding, you aren't alone. Garden weddings continue to rise in popularity as many couples are choosing to host their weddings outdoors. From backyard gardens to local botanical gardens to beautiful orchards, weddings amongst the flowers and trees are trendy and beautiful.

When planning your garden wedding, all decorations and other details should features elements of nature. At the wedding ceremony itself, place an arch at the altar covered with flowers and other greenery. To save money, select flowers that are locally grown and in season. At the reception, cover round tables with white or light greens. A pale pink umbrella or tent is a nice option to give your guests some shade.

Floral centerpieces should be bold and bright. Again, consider organic, locally grown flowers to create your centerpieces. If you are working on a tight budget, you can buy vases at your local dollar store and do the arrangements yourself.

Selecting wedding favors is a fun part of wedding planning. Fortunately for a garden wedding, you have plenty of appropriate options.

- Flowering plants are a nice choice that your guests will love. Your local gardening store should sell plants in miniature pots that will be ideal for a garden wedding.

- Seed packets are a terrific choice for a garden wedding. Truly Wedding Favors offers several seed options, including the "Love is Blooming" Wildflower Kit and Plantable Wildflower Hearts.

- Floral wedding favors are fitting for a garden wedding. The flowers don't have to be real in your wedding favors. Choose whimsical wedding favors such as the Blooming Flower Bottle Stopper or any number of gel candles with a floral theme.

- Butterfly wedding favors are a top choice for spring or garden weddings. Butterflies symbolize renewal and new beginnings. Choose from key chains, candle holders, bottle stoppers and other wedding favors bearing the butterfly theme.
