Vibrant Autumnal Palette and Textures: Winter Open House at The Hillside Estate

A venue like The Hillside Estate has so much versatility with all-white spaces that have visual interest in the architecture and statement chandeliers, but otherwise leave endless room for possibility. We loved working with Gathered Events on this Winter open house that staged a striking, elegant, fall-inspired reception with a gorgeous combination of earth tones for brides-to-be to mingle with DFW vendors and imagine their wedding in The Hillside Estate’s gorgeous spaces.

Bold green table linens made a great visual impact, especially when paired with shades of brown and amber — we designed a floral-and-greenery garland for the center long table, and small compote arrangements for the others. The flowers combined moody tones with bright white blooms here and there, and were accented with other touches like gold flatware, napkin rings and chargers with leaf detailing. A handful of the round tables had layered gold, leaf-applique linens that made a great statement and had simple candle centerpieces.

All of the flowers were bold in color and texture while still taking on an organic style. Lush, larger arrangements flanked the stage — at either side on pedestals and on the ground in front. All around, this setup was a vision of a unique and striking color palette that, with strategic accessorizing, was both playful and elegant.
