design brief:

textural, chic, modern romance, natural and seasonal

This fine art garden wedding embraced the beauty of an al fresco celebration, taking full advantage of a warm New England summer evening. Set at the breathtaking sunken garden at Smith Farm, wooden tables draped in crisp white linens created an inviting foundation for lush floral arrangements. Delicate bud vases, each holding a carefully curated mix of local textural blooms and fresh greenery, lined the tables, adding texture and romance while allowing for intimate conversation. As the sun set, twinkling string lights cast a warm glow over the celebration, enhancing the effortless elegance of the night. Every floral detail was thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, proving that flowers don’t just complement a space—they tell your story.
