Let’s face it—2025 is all about doing things a little differently. With the rising cost of living reshaping how we approach weddings, more couples are opting for smaller, more intimate celebrations that embrace the beauty of nature and the outdoors. Gone are the days of extravagant, and *expensive* affairs — hello, house deposit? —today, it’s all about creating a meaningful experience in a setting that feels organic, relaxed, and personal.

On Trend Event Hire’s Key Hire Pieces for an Outdoor Garden Wedding or Event

Urns & Pedestals

What better way to elevate a garden wedding ceremony than with florals in urns and atop plinths? Think urns made of woven wicker or textured limestone, adorned with lush, cascading, romantic blooms. As wedding ceremony backdrops move away from traditional arbours, these chic urn and plinth combos can be placed flanking the aisle as a more subtle, yet sophisticated backdrop alternative. These beautiful pieces highlight the ceremony space without overwhelming it, perfect for couples who prefer a more minimal and chic vibe.
