The right choice of flowers
The choice of flowers also has a major influence on the mood of the garden. Garish color combinations are avoided; delicate, pastel blooms captivate the viewer with their variety. Plant whatever you like, as long as it's lush. Flowers in shades of blue, violet, pink, and white convey a tender mood. In addition to various rose varieties, other fragrant plants and herbs growing wild next to each other belong in a romantic garden. Peonies, bluebells, delphiniums, hydrangeas, and catnip feel just as at home as nostalgic flowers such as columbines and masterwort. Fine grasses swaying in the breeze also provide the perfect foundation for the garden.
Further stylistic elements
With seating areas, pavilions, arbors, and hidden, secluded corners, romantic gardens possess a mysterious atmosphere. This is further enhanced by scents and sounds. Occasionally, the scent of roses, lavender, or night violets wafts across the air, while water ripples discreetly in the background. Columns and sculptures are also popular elements. Trellises and arches, with climbing roses, clematis, knotweed, or Virginia creeper, complete the idyll.
