Now, that\u2019s a dream wedding.)<\/span><\/p>\n Fall is also a great time of year to incorporate plaid. Host your reception around colorful picnic tables topped with plaid <\/span>table runners,<\/span> and add pumpkins to your tablescapes.

A secret <\/span>garden wedding<\/span> is a <\/span>garden party<\/span> unlike any other.<\/span><\/p>\n Start by finding a <\/span>wedding venue<\/span> with a private garden area hidden away behind a fence or tall hedges. Add an extra <\/span>glam<\/span> feel to the space by hanging crystal <\/span>chandeliers<\/span> from the branches of shade trees. Then decorate your tables with vintage <\/span>linens<\/span> and elaborate <\/span>centerpieces<\/span>. You can also recreate the look of a secret garden indoors with an elaborate <\/span>floral design<\/span> full of draping flowers and <\/span>greenery<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Attach vintage keys to your guests\u2019 place cards, add flowers to an iron gate and use it as your wedding altar, and bring your dog as a stand-in for all the garden animals.
