As we head into prime summertime here in Orlando, we’re saying farewell and thank you to the beautiful spring weddings we hosted this year! Spring and summer are wonderful times to tie the knot here at Celebration Gardens because that’s when our flowers are at their peak. One spring wedding we especially loved was for Clover and Hayden. Our botanical gardens perfectly complemented their colorful nuptials and it seemed like all of nature was celebrating their union! On the day of their spring wedding, the sun shone brightly and the flowers were perfectly in bloom to mark the occasion. Not to mention all the beautiful, personal details they weaved into their wedding and the incredible food prepared by our sister company, John Michael Events.
It was an unforgettable day!
Spring Wedding Design Details:
From the ceremony to reception, Clover and Hayden used a wedding color palette of dusty blue, blush pink, and ivory. They accented this with natural greenery, giving their spring wedding an organic feel. They booked our Celebration Gardens’ Rose wedding package, which meant they bundled the following services together into one perfect package for them!
All-Inclusive Wedding Package – Rose:
- Property Rental for 8 hours
- Tables, Linens & Chairs
- Photography for 5 hours
- Ceremony & Reception Floral
- Ceremony Officiant
- Live Ceremony Musicians
- Reception DJ
- Day-Of Coordinator
- Catering Package with Buffet Dinner & Bar
- Wedding Cake
As our second largest package, this is ideal for you if you’re planning a classic ceremony and reception. Our largest package, the Wild Orchid, includes everything above plus additional enhancements, such as stationery, hair and makeup, photo booth and more!
We’re proud to always offer the option to customize your package to tailor fit it to meet your needs. Thus, while the Rose package was the right fit for Clover and Hayden, they tweaked it a bit to make it their own. For example, they removed the officiant component because they knew they wanted to have a loved one conduct their ceremony.
But wait there’s more! Clover and Hayden were also able to take advantage of some great booking incentives we offer. For their spring wedding, they received 4 barrel-style cocktail tables to use complementary. This is an incentive we offer to all booked events, wedding or otherwise. Consider it our gift to you!

Spring Wedding Ceremony at the Gazebo:
On their spring wedding day, the entire vendor team worked together to bring this colorful wedding vision to life! We affixed lush floral sprays to the side of the Gazebo, adding pops of pink and blue. We also tied corresponding floral arrangements to the ends of each row of chairs, tying the entire ceremony site together!
Next, we made sure to set up Clover and Hayden’s personal décor just the way they wanted it! They had a beautiful ceremony welcome sign in addition to a memory table and their cards and gifts table. We draped the tables in cornflower blue linens and adorned it with their Polaroid guest book, wooden card box, and gorgeous floral arrangements. With all of our wedding and design experience, we’re able to ensure that every detail looks as beautiful as can be! That’s why we set up these displays under one of our vine-covered trellises. The greenery acted as a natural arch over their décor and tied into their wedding aesthetic perfectly!
When it was time for these lovebirds to get married, live harp music rang through the air and Hayden walked down the aisle in a charming dusty blue suit, complete with a classic white bowtie. Clover looked equally as lovely in her wedding gown that had tiny pearl stud details all over it. Her bridal bouquet teemed with spring florals, from light pink roses to white daises to blue delphinium. It was a gorgeous look for a gorgeous bride!
Their spring wedding ceremony was beautiful, made better only by our surrounding gardens. Before we knew it, Clover and Hayden were officially husband and wife!
Picture-Perfect Photography Spots:
It wouldn’t be a spring wedding without florals everywhere! That’s exactly what Clover, Hayden, and their loved ones saw around every turn on our property that day. Our botanical gardens were showing off, from the pink bougainvillea to the begonias to the firecracker plants and more. Every color of the rainbow was represented in the gardens that day, enhancing the romantic feel of this beautiful spring wedding day.
After they tied the knot, the newlyweds took family portraits in front of the Gazebo and then made their way around the gardens for their “Mr. and Mrs.” photos. Our couples often ask us what the best spots are here to take pictures. While you truly can’t go wrong anywhere here, we would specifically recommend the butterfly garden, the path that winds around the getting ready cottage, and the trellis at the center of the gardens. Just take a look below and see how beautiful these spots are!
Spring Wedding Reception:
Before the sun set on this spring wedding day, Clover and Hayden kicked off their reception with the ultimate grand entrance! For their newlywed introduction, they had cold sparks shoot off around them, giving their entrance an extra flair!
When they walked into their reception for the first time, they saw the smiling faces of all their loved ones amongst the stunning reception design they had spent weeks planning. All the guests sat at elegant table with white linens and cornflower blue napkins draped over the edge. Floating candles and natural greenery decorated the center of the tables, mirroring the golden glow of the overhead market lighting.
But Clover and Hayden’s sweetheart table was the crown jewel! It was a half-moon table with full, lush flowers framing the entire edge. They had a tufted throne as their chair and a chandelier lending a bit of sparkle from overhead. When framed by our palm trees and foliage, their sweetheart table was definitely the focal point of the reception!
Classic Wedding Buffet Menu:
After their first dance and toasts, it was time to eat! We know this is the part guests not only look forward to the most, but is oftentimes what they remember the most! This can seem intimidating, but with John Michael Events as your wedding caterer, you won’t have to worry about a thing!
For this spring wedding, Clover and Hayden selected a buffet dinner of:
- Caesar John Michael
- Rosemary Lemon Chicken
- Pesto Primavera
- Roasted Maple Bacon Brussel Sprouts
- Three Cheese Potatoes
Classic and delicious, we can confidently say that everyone ended dinner full and happy! Then, the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake!
This was a three-tier wedding cake with fresh pink and blue florals cascading down it. With flavors of red velvet, lemon, and strawberry, it was safe to say that it was the perfect sweet treat to end the meal!
The rest of the night can be summarized by one word: Fun! After dinner, our team cleared away the reception tables to transform the entire Grand Pavilion into an open dance floor. The party kept going all night long! Guests loved dancing and playing cornhole, all the while enjoying the fresh air of the gardens. That’s a perk of having an indoor/outdoor reception with us! Before the night officially concluded, we broke out the cold sparks again for Clover and Hayden’s grand exit as husband and wife. They finished the night in style, dancing their way out and into the next chapter of their lives together!
From our entire team, congratulations Clover and Hayden! It was a joy and honor to host your spring wedding, and we wish you all the best!
