“We’ve always dreamed of an outdoor wedding — not in a ballroom, not under a hotel ceiling. Something that feels like Europe. Open sky, flowers everywhere, the kind of wedding you’d see in a countryside garden.”
That’s what Dulcena and Aaron told us when they reached out, about three months before their wedding day. They had already secured HortPark Lawn as their venue — one of Singapore’s most beautiful open-air spaces, nestled in the Southern Ridges. What they needed was a decor team who could translate that European garden wedding vision into reality.
That’s where we came in.
Here’s how the full decor setup came together.
Why HortPark Lawn Works for
an Outdoor Wedding in Singapore
HortPark sits in the Southern Ridges, surrounded by mature trees and open greenery — about as far from a hotel ballroom as you can get in Singapore. That was exactly the point for D&A. They wanted the feeling of being outside, in nature, with light and air around them.
The reality of planning an outdoor wedding in Singapore, though, is that the weather is never guaranteed.
HortPark Lawn is essentially a blank canvas. There are no fixed walls, no predetermined layouts, no ballroom floor plan to work around, just open space surrounded by greenery, ready to be shaped into exactly the wedding you have in mind.
You decide the tent structure, the orientation, the ceiling treatment, the lighting. Want fairy lights draped across every beam? Done. Ceiling drapes that shift the atmosphere from afternoon garden party to intimate evening reception as the sun goes down? That too. It’s the kind of venue that gives couples real creative control and for D&A, who had a very specific vision of what their day should feel like, that freedom was everything.
For D&A, bringing that European garden wedding feel to life meant working with every surface available — the tentage perimeter, the ceiling beams, the ceremony platform, the entrance, and every table in between.
The Full Setup:
Every Element, Explained
We built the full decor proposal around D&A’s vision, every element chosen to bring their dream outdoor wedding to life. Here’s what Rosette Designs delivered.
Guest Table Centerpieces
Fresh floral centerpieces for all guest tables in soft blush and white, with layered greenery, styled to feel garden-picked rather than overly structured.
Foliage on the Beams
Faux foliage installations along the entrance beams set the garden tone from the moment guests stepped in.
Stage Backdrop
A stage backdrop combining fresh and faux botanicals, greenery, blooms, and textural foliage, designed to photograph beautifully during bride and groom speeches and toasts.
Seating Plan in Wooden Structure
A custom wooden seating plan structure, sized to display the full guest list clearly and styled to complement the overall garden aesthetic.
Reception Table Decor
The reception table is the first thing guests see on arrival, it was styled with framed couple photos, gold geometric lanterns, a custom letter board, and soft candlelight, all on a white linen base.
Magazine Photo Booth
“The Knotty Issue”, a life-sized magazine cover photo booth custom-designed for D&A, with their names, wedding date, and a cheeky headline. It quickly became the most-photographed corner of the day.
Outdoor Wedding Decor
Singapore — FAQs
How much does outdoor wedding decor in Singapore cost?
It varies significantly based on floral volume, lighting coverage, and the number of custom elements. A full setup like D&A’s — covering fairy lights, beam foliage, guest table centerpieces, backdrop, platform, seating plan, entrance arch, and photo booth — is best quoted based on your specific venue and guest count. Reach out and we’ll put together an itemised proposal.
Is HortPark Lawn a good outdoor wedding venue in Singapore?
It’s one of our favourites. HortPark Lawn is a blank canvas — no fixed structure, no preset layout. You build it from the ground up: the tent, the ceiling treatment, the lighting, the flow of the space. The surrounding greenery and Southern Ridges setting give you a natural backdrop that most venues in Singapore simply can’t replicate, and because everything is customised from scratch, the result feels entirely your own. It works especially well for couples who have a specific vision and want a venue that bends to it, rather than the other way around.
How far in advance should I book wedding decor in Singapore?
We generally recommend six months or more, but three months is workable — as it was for D&A. The key is to reach out as soon as your venue is confirmed and to come with a clear brief. The earlier you engage a decor team, the more options and refinement are possible.
Do you supply and install fairy lights for outdoor weddings?
Yes. We supply and install icicle fairy lights along tentage perimeters for outdoor wedding setups. For D&A’s wedding at HortPark, the fairy lights along the full tent perimeter created the warm, glowing atmosphere that defines the look of the evening reception.
