Beautiful Garden Reception Venues in the Philippines
There has never been really any doubt that where you book your wedding venue determines not only the success of your event but the logistics as well.
In the Philippines, affianced couples can take their pick from a wide selection of wedding venue options. Most couples—particularly those who wish to have a rather extensive guest list –tend to favour expansive hotel ballrooms and spacious functions halls above all venue options (given the size of their event). However, regardless of this, there remains a certain whimsical charm about weddings that take place in lush gardens and picturesque courtyards. After all, the latter venue tends to be more versatile when it comes to accommodating a myriad of wedding themes and motifs.
In this regard, wedding venues such as Los Arcos de Hermano and the like have been gaining a lot of popularity among engaged couples who wish to have a medium-sized event without sacrificing the allure of a garden or outdoor aesthetic. Apart from the natural allure garden wedding venues offers couples, it also gives them the avenue of mitigating wedding décor expenses given that garden venues are already naturally beautiful and would only require sparse décor items to make a significant impact. After all, booking a garden wedding venue would mean being surrounded by verdant greens, vibrant flowers and picturesque landscape leaving next to nothing for the décor team to improve which consequently allows the couple to save on elaborate and complex décor schemes.
