TABLE OF CONTENTS
Wadley Farms in Lindon, Utah, is an enchanting wedding venue, perfect for couples looking to tie the knot in a fairytale setting. As a luxury Utah wedding florist, we have done many weddings at Wadley Farms, and all of them are romantic. The venue transports you out of the city into a countryside castle and its surrounding farm and gardens. Wadley Farms not only has an actual castle you can get married in in Utah, but is also surrounded by a farm and vineyard where they grow produce including “peaches, apples, cherries, apricots, pears, and grapes, and have rotating fields of produce. [They] raise free-range grass-fed beef, pasture-range chickens, baby doll sheep, and honey bees.” They also have a garden with wisteria-covered gazebos and pergolas, spring flowering trees, ivy-covered walls, rustic iron gates, and buildings in the garden that feel like cottages.
If you’ve booked Wadley Farms for your fairytale wedding and don’t know what flower arrangements are needed for a wedding at Wadley Farms, here are our top suggestions for Wadley Farms Wedding Flowers.
The Castle at Wadley Farms, with its medieval architecture and breathtaking mountain views, is the venue's most iconic feature. The Courtyard, nestled north of the castle, is a favorite for ceremonies. In this newer area of Wadley Farms, the pergola covering the aisle is ideal for florals and greenery, as the young vines are still growing in. Draping the pergola poles with smilax and adding floral accents will create a romantic, garden-like entrance to your ceremony. The built-in arch and stairs at the front are also perfect for decoration, with the arch able to support lush, elaborate floral designs.
The first room inside is intimate, featuring a cozy fireplace and a small space perfect for setting up cocktail tables for guests to gather after the ceremony, before making your grand entrance into the main hall. Consider placing small floral arrangements on the cocktail tables to start setting the tone for the evening, along with votive candles for added ambiance. Keep in mind that Wadley Farms may not allow open flames, so you may need to use LED candles to create that warm, inviting glow.
The Grand Hall of the Castle is an ideal setting for an elegant dinner and dancing. Make a dramatic entrance into the reception by descending from one of the two staircases, while your new spouse enters from the other. The staircases provide a stunning opportunity for floral decor, whether you choose small clusters at the base with vining greenery along the railing or go all out with a full floral installation. If you’re getting married in December, the railings will be adorned with faux Christmas garlands.
Many couples use the area in front of the mantle for speeches or place their sweetheart table between the two staircases, positioning it in front of the mantle to make it a visual focal point. While the upper shelf of the mantle has faux greenery and candles, many couples choose to enhance the lower ledge with florals and to cover the brass eagle for cleaner photo aesthetics. Additionally, adding flowers to your sweetheart's table creates a stunning frame that highlights you as the center of attention. For winter weddings, the space between the staircases is a beautiful spot for your ceremony. You can use the mantle and staircase florals as a natural backdrop, or bring in a floral arch for added drama. Don’t forget to add floral decor along the aisle—whether it’s lush ground arrangements lining the path, greenery paired with candles or lanterns, or small floral accents tied to the chairs, these touches will create a romantic and cohesive setting for your ceremony. If you have live entertainment, such as a band, you can opt to decorate the stage area with florals, ensuring every corner of the room feels cohesive and beautifully styled.
Because the castle is so grand, you'll want to go bold with your centerpieces to match the scale of the space. Elevated centerpieces on tall stands for all or at least half of the tables will create height and balance in the room, while full, lush arrangements in low compote vases on the other tables will add visual movement and compliment the romantic atmosphere of the Wadley Farms Castle. If you're trying to lower your wedding flowers cost, Wadley Farms offers lanterns for decor, which can be accented with greenery wreaths or bud vases for a simpler, more understated decor option. To enhance the guest experience, consider adding candles for a warm, inviting glow.
The final room is typically where food vendors are set up, and adding a tall buffet table floral centerpiece or greenery with filler flowers will beautifully accent the food display. The cake table, often positioned at the base of the stairs, is another great opportunity for floral decor. Consider placing blooms on the cake or adding a small arrangement at the base for a cohesive look.
If you're doing an open house or some of the guests are not attending the ceremony, the room at the front of the castle is usually where guests are welcomed for the reception. A floral swag on the welcome sign and an arrangement on the guest book table can create a warm, inviting entrance. I often place the toss bouquet on the welcome table for double duty, ensuring it serves as both decor and a practical item later in the event.
For an extra touch, consider adding a photo booth where your guests can take fun, memorable pictures. A popular option for this area is a floral-accented backdrop or green wall with a neon sign featuring your new last name, along with some playful photo props. This is a perfect spot to incorporate floral elements that tie in with the overall aesthetic of your wedding.
The south courtyard is often used for the grand exit, whether with sparklers or bubbles, and typically doesn’t require additional floral decor. This space allows the exit to shine on its own, providing a natural, celebratory atmosphere.

The garden side of Wadley Farms, available for weddings and events, offers a romantic yet more intimate atmosphere. The buildings here have shorter roofs, creating a cozy, secluded feel. In the summer, many couples choose to hold their ceremony in the gardens, either by the gazebo or near the vineyard gate, both of which can be beautifully enhanced with floral decor. With its wisteria-covered top, the gazebo often looks stunning with floral accents along the sides or by incorporating blooms into the wisteria to mimic a natural, full-bloom look. Alternatively, you can bring in a floral arch for a fully adorned ceremony backdrop. Ground aisle pieces also work well here, drawing the eye toward the couple, or you can opt for a simpler look by attaching small floral clusters to the chairs.
The rustic Railroad Building is another charming ceremony option at Wadley Farms.
With exposed wood beams and historic charm, this space offers a unique setting that can be enhanced with thoughtful floral touches. For indoor ceremonies or receptions, floral arrangements along the aisle or on the fireplace mantle (a standout feature in the room) can create an elegant focal point. This space can also be used for cake cutting and dancing, as it offers a more intimate, cozy setting.
The barn on the garden side is often used for luncheons, dinners, or open houses to greet guests. Tables can also be set up outside, weather permitting. In this part of the venue, lower centerpieces are ideal to facilitate conversation across the table and because the building's lower ceilings don’t require tall arrangements to balance the space. A small cluster of bud vases or a low compote arrangement works perfectly. For the sweetheart table, a long, lush floral runner will set it apart. As with the castle, consider decorating the buffet table with a larger arrangement or greenery accents, and don’t forget to add flowers to the cake and cake table for a cohesive look.
Since the garden side of Wadley Farms is naturally intimate and romantic, it often requires fewer florals and decor to create a full, inviting atmosphere, as the venue’s garden flowers provide plenty of natural beauty on their own.

A floral arch or an asymmetrical installation blending with the vineyard’s natural beauty can transform this space into a magical ceremony location.

Additionally, small floral touches at cocktail tables or lounge areas throughout the vineyard are a unique way to use this space during your event.
From the castle courtyard to the vineyard and rustic buildings, Wadley Farms offers endless opportunities to make wedding flowers a central part of the décor. By placing arrangements strategically at entrances, focal points like altars, and reception tables, you can enhance the venue’s natural beauty while creating unforgettable floral designs for your big day.
