If you’ve ever walked through the Dallas Arboretum and Botanic Garden and through, “Wow, this would be a great spot for a photo,” you aren’t alone. One of the top botanical gardens in the world, the Arboretum hosts over 700 weddings and private events each year, and its 66 acres along White Rock Lake have seen 1.4 million plants trialed.
