There is something about garden weddings that soon-to-wed couples like experience. Some couples like the feeling of being surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery, the scent of flowering plants that masks the entire venue, the experience on walking on grass that is somewhat wet because of the dew that formed earlier, or the feel of exchanging vows with nature as one of the witnesses.
