SINGAPORE: The evening glow is just right at the Garden of Seasons for newlyweds Kevin Tan and Claire Chua.
They are among 150 couples who have chosen to get married in parks this year. They are also going eco-friendly on the use of materials.
"Our wedding flavours are tea infusions and we included rose hip flowers in it. So it is very much in line with the garden theme and it is something people can use over and over again," said the couple.
This new colourful theme garden at HortPark is designed to host intimate events in a romantic setting.
Going greener, NParks is encouraging couples to have environmentally-friendly weddings.
"Weddings generally generate quite a lot of waste, so we are trying to use this occasion to remind people that environmental-consciousness is actually a very important part of our lives," said Yvonne Cheng, manager, Marketing and Promotions, National Parks Board.
A gown has been created out of recycled materials - such as fabric covers of used wedding albums, and crystals and beads from damaged jewellery. And couples can learn more about such initiatives at the Garden Wedding Fair at HortPark on December 12.
The fair will feature more than ten lush gardens and parks, where couples can tie the knot.
