The same evening, our newlyweds held their wedding dinner reception at the hotel. The ballroom was also decorated to exude a romantic, playful garden atmosphere. Many thanks to Jim Liaw Photography for the pictures!
This above shot of the white birdcages and the burst of color from the beautiful flowers is a picture of pure joy. As with the garden wedding ceremony in the daytime, we used hydrangea, Mariam pink roses, Taiwan ivy and fruit for the VIP table centerpiece, adorned with pretty pink butterflies.
Since it was romantically dark in the ballroom, we used darker, sharper shades of pink that would stand out better in the spotlights and in dim candlelight. Leave the lighter hues for the daytime, or they will look quite washed out when the lights are turned down.
We love the magical effects of good lighting! Whether it is from colored spotlights, fairy lights or candles and tealights, the indoor "garden" looks almost as good as it would be outdoors, doesn't it? Using a good quantity of green leaves is essential for this theme, instead of just flowers and more flowers. So if you are planning a garden theme for your wedding, don't be afraid to ask your decorator to whip out his or her stash of leaves and moss.
Congratulations again to Joanne and David, and thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us!
