Notes from the Book
In The Secret Garden, two neglected children restore a forgotten garden. They discover the true beauty in nature, humanity, and fighting for love against all odds. The themes within the book touch on so many important themes needed in a happy marriage. These include loving each-other for better for worse, in sickness and in health, and for richer or for poorer. Beyond garden wedding ideas, the thoughts conveyed in the story are life lessons.
Like the secret garden depicted in the novel, the venue used was also lovingly restored. It now welcomes couples to celebrate their love stories within its walls. This Virginia wedding centers around natural beauty, greenery, delicate details, gold accents, and classic styling. All of the elements in this shoot create a beautiful backdrop to an unfolding love story and celebration of love. Enjoy these unique garden wedding ideas!
