Spring at Wisteria Gardens is a spectacle of blooming flowers and budding trees. Capitalize on the gardens’ natural bounty with floral arrangements featuring cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils—echoing spring’s renewal. This season is particularly special in Skagit Valley, famous for its vibrant tulip fields that mirror a palette of beautiful colors.
Pastel Palettes
Utilize soft pastels which blend seamlessly with the gentle hues emerging in the garden. Table settings with pastel linens and centerpieces in light blue, pink, or lavender can enhance the light and airy feel of a spring wedding, echoing the clear spring sky and early blooms.
Summer Weddings: Vibrant and Lush
Bold Colors and Greenery
Wisteria Gardens boasts vibrant colors and lush greenery in Summer. Opt for bold color schemes like bright pinks, deep greens, and royal blues to stand out against the gardens’ rich backdrop. Floral arrangements and table settings that feature tropical leaves and colorful blooms will add a dynamic contrast and bring the summer vibe to life.
Outdoor Elegance
Make the most of the long summer days by setting up parts of your reception outside under the beautiful cafe lights or among the expansive lawn. Our outdoor spaces allow guests to enjoy the venue’s natural elegance, providing a romantic ambiance as the evening draws in.
Fall Weddings: Rustic and Golden Decor Inspiration
Harvest Hues
Autumn brings warm golds, rich reds, and earthy browns to the gardens, echoing the natural change in the landscape. Incorporate elements like pumpkins, gourds, and corn husks to create a rustic feel that complements the season. Wooden accents such as barrels and bespoke signs can enhance the connection to the natural fall environment.
Lanterns and Candles
As the days shorten, integrate lanterns and candles to give your settings a warm, inviting glow. This functional lighting helps create an intimate atmosphere that captures the essence of fall and its enchanting evenings.
Winter Weddings: Whimsical and White
Winter Wonderland

Experience the magic of winter at Wisteria Gardens, where the landscape is sometimes transformed into a serene, snowy wonderland. Decor that features icy blues, whites, and silvers can mirror the frosty season. Add crystal accents and white drapery to create an elegant winter fairy-tale setting. Even if there is no snow to enjoy, the barn is a cozy space to hold a lovely winter ceremony and reception.
Warm Accents
To balance the cool tones, incorporate rich, dark woods and plush, cozy fabrics. Consider an indoor reception where guests can mingle comfortably, enjoy the winter view through the large garage door windows, and stay warm and comfy.
Your wedding at Wisteria Gardens can be a beautiful blend of nature and the season throughout the year. From the fresh blooms of spring to the cozy embrace of winter, the venue offers a versatile canvas to gather decor inspiration and transform your wedding into a picturesque event.
