Picturesque Spring Wedding Under a Lush Green Canopy ~ Real Wedding Spotlight

Loren and Kellen’s May wedding day was a celebration of love, natural beauty, and timeless romance. Set against the lush backdrop of the vibrant Gardens’ greenery and custom-built timber-frame structures, their special day blended deeply personal, heartfelt moments with high-energy celebration. Their thoughtful ceremony among friends and family in the Lath House featured a sentimental wine box unity ceremony, sealing away a bottle of Paso Robles AVA’s 2014 Truth & Valor Zinfandel—the same wine they shared on their very first date, a bottle Kellen had thoughtfully saved ever since. From their serene first look and exchanging handwritten vows in the Wedding in the Woods ceremony site to dancing the night away beneath a canopy of draped fabric and glowing string lights in the Wedding Reception Tent, every detail captured the joyful, deeply meaningful spirit of their new beginning.

An Imaginative Journey: Crafting the Ultimate Lord of The Rings Themed Outdoor Wedding

Plan Your Ultimate Middle-earth Wedding at The Gardens of Castle Rock.

Are you and your fiancé D&Ders, Norsephiles, or Disney Devotees? Have you ever considered integrating your favorite fandom into your wedding day? At The Gardens, we say, “Why not?!” Whether a shared passion created the “meet-cute” that brought you together or simply defines your lifestyle, we believe your wedding day should showcase the things you love.

Amber and Matt did exactly that by hosting a stunning Lord of the Rings-themed wedding. Discover how they transformed our venue into a living piece of Tolkien’s Legendarium.

Middle-earth Wedding Apparel: From Hobbits to High Elves

To honor the unwavering courage of Frodo Baggins, Matt styled his attire after the high-status Hobbit, complete with a bright red jacket and walking stick. His “groomshobbits” resembled Frodo’s loyal companions—Samwise, Merry, and Pippin—dressed in signature Hobbit apparel:

Signature Details: Vibrant vests, suspenders, and shortened trousers.
Traveler’s Cloaks: Each wore a cloak fastened with a leaf-shaped clasp, a direct reference to the Cloaks of Lórien gifted by the Elves in Peter Jackson’s films.
The Hobbit Aesthetic: This style emphasizes comfort, nature, and practical yet colorful clothing.

Amber channeled the grace of Arwen Undómiel with a sheer, ethereal cloak and a delicate silver circlet. Her bridesmaids captured the Elven connection to the forest, wearing individualized, nature-inspired gowns accented with floral crowns and delicate botanical pieces.

The Setting: Finding Hobbiton in Minnesota

Amber and Matt chose The Gardens of Castle Rock because our handcrafted structures and woodland backdrops perfectly match the Lord of the Rings aesthetic.

The Shire: Our stone walls and lush green fields mimic the pastoral landscape of Hobbiton.
The Cruck Frame: The pointed arch of our timber-built structure at the Lath House entrance evokes Elven architecture that looks “grown” rather than built. This “thin place” serves as a hidden sanctuary where different worlds meet.
The Prancing Pony Glow: Warm café lights and twinkling lights throughout the trees recreate the cozy atmosphere of the famous inn in Bree.
Elven Craftsmanship: The intricate pegged joints and wooden bracing of our Grindbygg-inspired pergola reflect the structural honesty valued by the finest craftsmen of Middle-earth.

An Enchanted Reception: Rivendell Meets the Old Forest

The wedding reception emphasized a connection to the natural world, much like the pavilions of Rivendell.

Organic Decor: The Wedding Reception Tent poles wrapped in lush branches and a 22-foot greenery head table installation brought the “outside in,” hinting at the floor of the Old Forest.
Symbolic Tablescapes: Thick moss runners and tall Foxgloves (Digitalis) on The Gardens Cedar Banquet Tables reflected the rolling hills of Middle-earth and fantasy lore.
Woodland Accents: Forest-green napkins paid homage to the Elves of Mirkwood.
The Feast: Our Cedar Banquet Tables are a direct match for the heavy timber trestle tables found in the common room of The Prancing Pony, where travelers gather for a half-pint and a song.

Whether you’re dreaming of a Lord of the Rings-inspired wedding, a Norse-inspired feast, or a whimsical Disney celebration, your wedding day should be a reflection of the things that brought you together. At The Gardens of Castle Rock, our hand-crafted timber structures, lush woodland backdrops, and Hobbiton-esque stone walls provide the ultimate “thin place” where fantasy and reality meet. From the soaring Elven heights of our Cruck Frame to the rustic warmth of our Grindbygg-inspired pergolas, we offer a versatile Minnesota wedding venue that adapts to your unique aesthetic. Don’t just host a wedding—create an immersive experience that celebrates your favorite fandoms in a setting that feels like it was grown right out of the forest.

Once Upon a Wedding: A Whimsical Outdoor Celebration Right Out of a Storybook

Have you ever wished you could step into a storybook—wandering through a world filled with whimsy and romance? For Chi and Ashley, that dream came true on their wedding day at The Gardens of Castle Rock.

The magic of the day began with the first look in the serene Wedding in the Woods and continued into the beautifully decorated Lath House ceremony site. Inspired by Disney’s Tangled and Up, Ashley thoughtfully wove elements from both films throughout the celebration. She even renamed the Gardens Pavilion—home to the bar—the “Snuggly Duckling,” a playful nod to the pub near Rapunzel’s tower. At the candy station displayed on a Gardens Mid-Height Table, guests found a whimsical replica of Carl Fredricksen’s house from Up, complete with thousands of balloons.

The Gardens’ natural beauty, along with the newly added Cruck Frame and Lath House Covered Pergola, created a breathtaking backdrop. The moment Ashley walked down the aisle and into the Lath House to say her forever “I do,” felt like a moment lifted straight from a fairytale. Lining the aisle, lush floral arrangements in a variety of colors, textures, and sizes gave the feeling of discovering a hidden meadow deep within an enchanted forest.

In the Wedding Reception Tent, white café lights twinkled above as oversized, handcrafted flowers seemed to float overhead. The Cedar Banquet Tables were dressed in moss runners, tiny bud vases, glowing votive candles, playful mushrooms, and delicate butterflies—bringing their storybook vision beautifully to life.

As the sun began to set, Chi and Ashley stepped away to share a quiet moment together. Their photographer captured the glow of golden hour as they held each other close—grateful, radiant, and certain they had found their happily-ever-after.

Here’s what Chi & Ashley had to say about their wedding day at The Gardens of Castle Rock, “This venue is straight out of a dream — magical, natural, and beautifully maintained. From the moment my now-husband and I visited, we felt it was fate. Glenn and the staff were with us every step of the way for nearly two years, offering incredible communication and support to ensure our wedding day was seamless. We chose the Lath House for our ceremony, and it was the perfect choice. The multiple photo locations are stunning, and we couldn’t have picked a more enchanting place to start our forever.”

2025 Wedding Trends: What We’re Seeing & Loving

In 2025, couples will be embracing a wedding style inspired by the timeless beauty of old-world charm. This trend merges the elegance of vintage European aesthetics with the casual, joyful ambiance of a garden party. It’s all about creating a dreamy, sophisticated atmosphere with subtle touches of fairytale romance and understated decadence.

The old-world style thrives in spaces that feature weathered stonework, vintage elements, and lush natural surroundings.

Imagine floral arrangements that look freshly picked from an 18th-century English garden, with cascading blooms and textured greenery. The color palette centers around soft pinks, lavender blush, and gentle peach tones, accented by an array of rich, natural greens.

Understanding that visuals speak louder than words, The Gardens partnered with top wedding professionals to showcase this enchanting style through photos. From lush floral installations to intricately detailed tablescapes, couples can see how old-world charm comes to life in every detail.

The old-world charm of your wedding day begins by creating branded invitations and save the date cards. These pretty examples were created by Paper Rock Scissor. Rings by Brilliant Earth. Photo credit: Coral Mia Photography

Embracing the Dark Romance: An Edgy Gothic Outdoor Wedding

On a warm day in mid-August, Terryn and Robert celebrated their love surrounded by friends and family who enjoyed a bespoke event designed completely by the bride.
