Olivia + Jeff's Classic Black-and-White Wedding at The Hillside Estate

Nothing says classic and timeless like black-and-white flowers and decor in a grand and open venue! We helped Olivia and Jeff throw a stunning fall wedding at The Hillside Estate with lots of simple yet impactful details. Lush white blooms and greenery were the hallmarks of this ceremony and reception.

For the ceremony, we designed a few altar arrangements with a floral base and a pop of greenery to break up the white flowers and tie in the scenery outside. These all sat on clear tapered vases on top of white stands — an elegant and simple presentation for this gorgeous space with lots of natural light and white finishes. These arrangements also helped complete the reception when we moved them to the guest tables after this couple was wed!

The reception also featured just about every candle style — we combined votive, pillar, floating and taper candles for both visual interest and ambience. These tables, with touches of black in the linen napkins and taper candles, were a mix of modern and classic and created the most elegant and intimate setting!

The seating chart was made up of gold shelving that held glasses of champagne garnished with place cards. Moments like that can always stand to be embellished with some greenery — we added clusters of flowers to the corners to complete this setup, and it was a great statement for guests to be greeted with!

Olivia and her bridesmaids’ bouquets were in a classic, rounded style and full of white rose varieties, Ranunculus, Panda Anemones and others. Since pure white was the main color for this wedding instead of the typical ivory, the whole event had a more modern feel — especially given the architecture and details of the venue. For another statement moment, the bridesmaids wore black gowns!
