The Oak Park and Garfield conservatories are easy places to start. You might need a permit if you're not having your reception or ceremony there.

From Facebook: We have friends who had their pictures taken in Columbus Park (on the other side of Austin) and it's gorgeous. You can also try the OP conservatory or even the Garfield. They also usually have lovely flowers in Scoville Park, though I am not sure that's what you are looking for...

My spouse and I got married in July of 2010.  We took a few pictures at the Pleasant Home and at the Cheney Mansion.  Both places are well kept and the Cheney Mansion had a particularly large hydrangea bush that is in nearly all of our outdoor photos.  The Cheney mansion's website is here and Pleasant Home's website is here.  Have an enjoyable wedding weekend!
