Angela + Zachary's Elegant Garden-Inspired Wedding

Angela and Zachary held their wedding at The Hillside Estate, with the help of Gathered Events - the perfect venue and team for a Springtime alfresco reception! They gravitated towards a soft, neutral palette - white, blush and a dusty mauve - and lots of texture for visual interest.

For the ceremony, we designed organic-style ground arrangements that sat in between clusters of candles down the aisle, and an ultra-textural arch for the altar. The arch was made up of lush greenery, concentrated at the base on either side, with clusters of color-blocked flowers throughout it. More pillar candles on the ground were accents!

Cocktail hour was held on the patio, so we added a couple floral touches to transition from the ceremony - a mantle arrangement, which the bar was positioned in front of, and two pops of flowers for the bar top itself. The reception was also held outdoors, with guest tables beneath four cabanas - two on either side of the head table - all situated in front of the stage and a pink-and-white checkered dance floor.

The head table held a lush floral garland down its center, and compote arrangements in footed wood vases and bud vases lined the remaining guest tables. A mix of candles also helped make this feel organic, layered and romantic. Angela and Zachary had a sweetheart table opposite the stage, and we designed two urn arrangements on either side of the couple, a dramatic floral meadow right on the table top and at the base of the table. Linens and other accents highlighted a soft sage green.

Bridesmaids also wore green, and bouquets were kept light and bright in the ivory and blush shades - roses, Ranunculus, Sweet Pea - with subtle touches of huckleberry.
