The Setting……For the bride who wants a tranquil wedding atmosphere, a Japanese garden is the perfect place! The scenery is so beautiful and it provides an ideal setting for the romantic couple who loves the outdoors and wants to share their love in a peaceful and spiritual way. With a venue like this, you can pick up on all of the rich earth tones including the lush browns and greens.
Your Gown…..For a Japanese Garden wedding, I would choose a simple gown that has a delicate, romantic, and effortless look. This type of setting goes perfectly with gowns from designer Paloma Blanca’s Mikaella Bridal line. Almost any gown from this collection will provide the desired effect; however, my favorite is style# 1468.
The Flowers…..Against the lush green backdrop that a Japanese garden offers, your flower arrangements are the perfect medium to add pops of more vibrant colors to complete the overall look and feel of your event. Various tones of pink and fuchsia add beautiful color accents without being overpowering.
For Your Girls…..When it comes to finding a dress that is perfect for all your best girls, it can be almost impossible to make everyone happy. A bridesmaid dress like this cocktail length crinkle chiffon from the Purely Alfred Angelo collection would look great on virtually any body type. It has straps to give added support and comfort and the empire waistline is very complimentary. Plus, it has pockets…how CUTE! The “fern” color is the perfect shade to compliment the scenery as well as create a muted backdrop for the pops of pink in the girls’ bouquets.
For the Guys…..This classically tailored tuxedo style from Jim’s Formal Wear will be a fit that your guys will love. You can go with a more muted taupe or beige color for the vest and tie; or you can blend the guys and girls together with tuxedo accessory pieces in shades of green.
I hope these ideas help inspire your creativity as you pull together the details of your Japanese garden wedding!
Happy Planning!
