How do you marry the romance of a vintage wedding with the floral beauty of spring? With a wedding theme inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett\u2019s classic novel The Secret Garden<\/em><\/strong>! Transport your guests back to that genteel era with elegant decor elements in pastel colors\u2014from a dreamy garden setting straight out of the pages of the book, to vintage-style tablescapes and bridal accessories, to a flower-decked cake and cocktails!<\/p>\n Our exquisite finds for this inspiration board are unified by a pastel palette of powder blue, blush pink and gold. And of course, lovely floral touches are everywhere. Welcome to your very own Secret Garden wedding!<\/p>\n A gorgeous gated floral garden<\/strong> (4) immediately sets a stately, Old World air for your special day, with an elegant wedding sign mounted in an antique gold frame<\/strong> (3) greeting arriving guests.<\/p>\n Your bridal bouquet<\/strong> (1) should, of course, be a vision of spring\u2019s beauty\u2014featuring white garden roses, spray roses, white ranunculus, hydrangea, delphinium, fresh lavender, blue tweedia, and dusty miller.<\/p>\n A birdcage-inspired arbor<\/strong> (2) draped with hanging blooms provides a picture-perfect spot for your exchange of vows. While sweet embroidered sachets<\/strong> (8) can hold loose petals for the traditional wedding toss, or be used to enclose wedding favors.<\/p>\n The Secret Garden inspiration continues to the reception elements. Have place settings<\/strong> (9) that are ornate yet delicate\u2014with fancy gold cutlery and antique-style chargers, softened by powder blue china, a menu in gold calligraphy and a fresh pink rose!<\/p>\n Your wedding cake<\/strong> (5) would be lovely as a classic four-tiered buttercream creation adorned with pastel flowers, matched by blackberry lavender champagne cocktails<\/strong> (7). Then, guests get to leave their wishes for you in a fittingly refined guest book<\/strong> (6) bound in soft blue velvet and monogrammed in gold.<\/p>\n Yes, there is room for romance in today\u2019s weddings\u2014especially with a theme this well loved, set in a pastel-hued springtime garden!<\/p>\n Credits: 1 – Splendid Stems Event Florals<\/a> \/ 2 – Concept Photography<\/a>, via Colin Cowie Weddings<\/a> \/ 3 – Ashdown and Bee<\/a>, via Modern Wedding<\/a> \/ 4 – P.
