A botanical wedding in a magnificent castle setting or a luxurious, bohemian orangery

The Botanical Garden is a beautiful oasis in central Uppsala. The garden once belonged to Uppsala Castle, but is now a living museum of plants collected by followers of Linnaeus during expeditions around the world. The Botanical Garden is also a beautiful venue for weddings, where you can choose to look out over the garden from the castle’s magnificent surroundings or follow the trend by holding your reception in a luxurious, bohemian orangery.In the oldest part of the Uppsala Botanical Garden, which was formerly the palace garden, stands the 200-year-old Linneanum orangery, built in the Neoclassical style. The architecture is inspired, amongst other things, by the Temple of Poseidon in the southern Italian World Heritage city of Paestum. In front of the east-facing pediment lies a grand Baroque garden with topiary shrubs, a rose garden and fragrant peonies. Beyond the iron fence, the greenery then climbs up the terraces towards Uppsala Castle.

The tropical plants

Today, the Botanical Garden in Uppsala is a living museum housing thousands of plants – many collected by followers of Linnaeus during expeditions around the world. The listed orangery is flanked by numerous trees and shrubs, including palm trees, orange trees and Spanish boxwood. In winter, the tropical plants are housed inside the building, but in spring, when they are moved outside, the halls become a unique venue for weddings and celebrations.

Weddings in the Botanical Garden

The Botanical Gardens offer several unique and enchanting settings where you can exchange your vows. Why not stand amidst the lush greenery and let the sun’s rays filter down through the foliage? Next to the water lily pond, larch trees cast a shady canopy, perfect for seating guests.
The Orangery’s cast-iron vases, arched vaults and Doric columns, together with the diverse range of plants, create an exciting atmosphere in the garden. There’s guaranteed to be plenty of space here for numerous guests, live music and catering.
