Summer Garden Wedding

The idea of having an early June garden wedding brings to mind the most picturesque vision of what a wedding should be. Casual and relaxed, while still being a little formal and traditional. You get the benefit of colorful flowers so you don’t need to worry about extra bouquets and decorating.  And everyone gets to enjoy the beautiful setting, not being stuck inside a dark hotel ballroom.

Caitlin and Josh had such a wedding, both comfortable and elegant. The ceremony and the reception were held at Olbrich Garden in Madison. The Rose Garden has a large, open grassy area that holds little, white chairs and the brick path as an aisle that allows for a processional to the rose arbor. Caitlin and Josh walked down that brick aisle together, a perfect sentiment to how they were starting their new life together, united as equals in marriage.

They attended to the details beforehand so they could just enjoy their wedding day, keeping everything very low-key and personal. For example, they forwent cake and served their wedding guests pie, including Josh’s favorite Key Lime. Everything was exactly how they wanted it.
