Pro Tip: If you’re having an outdoor wedding, consider venues with Danish half-timbered buildings or traditional red-brick exteriors for a historic feel.
2. Scandinavian-Inspired Wedding Decor
Danish architecture is all about clean lines, functionality, and minimalism. Incorporate these elements into your decor:
Neutral & Earthy Color Palettes – Soft whites, beige, sage green, and muted blues Wood & Natural Textures – Incorporate oak tables, woven fabrics, and ceramic tableware Candlelight & Hygge Atmosphere – Use soft lighting, floating candles, and cozy seating Danish Modern Chairs & Tables – Rent Scandinavian-style furniture for a sleek look
Less is more! Scandinavian design favors simple yet elegant decor with a focus on quality materials.
3. Floral Arrangements Inspired by Danish Gardens
Scandinavian floral designs are wild, natural, and effortlessly beautiful. Consider:
Dried flowers & grasses – Pampas grass, wheat, and dried roses 
Minimalist floral installations – Simple greenery with seasonal white blooms Wildflowers & local plants – Use lavender, daisies, or eucalyptus for a fresh Danish touch
Want something different? Swap traditional flower bouquets for herbal arrangements with rosemary, thyme, and ivy!
4. Capture Danish Architecture in Your Wedding Photos
Make sure your photographer captures: Grand castle entrances & historic facades Modern glass-and-steel backdrops in urban settings 
Nordic forest or coastal landscapes 
Golden hour (sunset) is the best time for photos in front of architectural landmarks!
