Sarah + Grant's Intimate Garden Elopement

This week we’re reminiscing over a gorgeous intimate elopement that may have been scaled down in terms of guest count, but not at all in the way of flowers! We love the idea of having a really personal ceremony and reception but still going all out with all of the wedding visions you’ve been dreaming about. We designed the flowers for this elopement with the crucial support of Keestone Events, which made that translation from vision to reality so seamless! 

The ceremony was held in the courtyard of Crescent Court in Dallas, which has the perfect multicolored trees and stone structures for us to add a lush floral design to. That design was an overgrown-looking floral and greenery arch that we made asymmetrical with big blooms. Sarah and Grant wed right in front of this statement arch that also tied in with small arrangements scattered down the aisle. The featured ivory and blush flowers contrasted with the darker greenery and created such a striking and sophisticated design.

The reception was held in the same space, which was ‘flipped’ following the ceremony, where dining tables replaced the rows of chairs. The same arch served as a statement for the reception, and made a great backdrop for the cake table. The guest tables were decorated with the arrangements that had lined the aisle, and paired with a few gold accents, made for elegant and intimate table designs. Cocktail tables were accented with small bud vases, and almost every corner of this space had a touch of floral whimsy!

Sarah’s bouquet was a classy mix of blush, ivory, and sprigs of greenery that broke up the dense, lush blooms and added depth and dynamism. This bouquet had no shortage of some common favorites: Peonies, Garden Roses, and Ranunculus.

This couple’s elopement delivered on an utterly classic and garden-inspired atmosphere. With the right touches, a wedding can feel larger-than-life, no matter the guest count!
