Real garden party weddings with antique touches, lush florals, and timeless style

There is something about a vintage garden wedding that just feels timeless. The combination of lush greenery, vintage wedding details outdoors, and a little bit of magic makes for the kind of celebration that could be pulled from an old photo album and still feel fresh today. We have seen so many couples bring this vision to life, each with their own twist. Think antique vases, retro rentals, and even disposable cameras tucked into the tables. Here is some garden party wedding inspiration from a few of our favorite celebrations.

Talia + Jake at Bartram’s Garden

Bartram’s Garden already carries a vintage soul with its brick paths, historic barn, and colorful gardens. Talia and Jake leaned right into that energy with ease. Talia arrived in a short silk dress, fur coat, and sunglasses, completely chic and a little retro. The star of the design was the florals. Salt Floral filled the day with antique vases and textured arrangements that felt like fine art. Their ceremony under the grove of trees was intimate and romantic, exactly what a vintage garden wedding should be.

Katy + Jared’s Family Estate Wedding

Katy and Jared’s celebration was pure garden party wedding inspiration. Hosted at their family estate, their rehearsal dinner and wedding carried the warmth of a relaxed summer gathering. Guests wandered through the gardens while vintage furniture rentals added a cozy, stylish layer to the reception. The mix of antique vessels and natural design gave the day that effortless vintage wedding details vibe. It was thoughtful and personal, the kind of vintage garden wedding that feels both elegant and comfortable. I also still think about their plateware and handwritten menus. If you’re into a little DIY adventure, here is some prime inspiration!

Lori + Paul’s Hippie-Inspired Celebration

Lori and Paul’s private estate celebration gave pure flower child energy. The barefoot bride wore a flower crown, vintage furniture was scattered across the grass, and chandeliers hung from the trees. It was soulful and relaxed in the best way, a garden party wedding that celebrated nature, community, and love.
