A garden wedding. This one took place in a family "backyard", 3 or so acres, more resembling a park, beautiful, lush, green, private. The bride asked for flowers with a garden-y feel. As though they could have been cut from that garden. A palette that spoke to summer colors. There was one bridesmaid was the step-daughter-to-be. The only specific bride request was about her bouquet. Something a bit cascading. With a few calla lilies. And vine. The Reception: poolside. The lanterns were moved from the ceremony to tables. They made for a graceful transition from afternoon ceremony to evening reception, with toasts and dancing. All on a perfect August day.

Lovely when the look of the wedding, flowers, decor, linens, all take their cue from the wedding site.
