From vintage style garlands sweeping across the table to large elaborate chandeliers, this trend is making its mark in classic and modern weddings alike. To ensure this look is both chic and glamourous, pair the greenery with elegant gold accents, oversized chandeliers or baroque details. If you want to stick with a romantic, but rustic feel, you can pair the greenery with burgundy and pale pinks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7692 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Trends garden\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2250\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-683x1024.jpg 683w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/2250;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7692 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Trends garden\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Wedding-Trends-garden-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><strong>Drama: Making a Grand Exit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For added drama, make a grand exit.
