Marisa + Dean's Springtime-Inspired Wedding

Marisa and Dean’s wedding at The Hillside Estate is the perfect vision of a subtle color palette that makes big statements. The style inspiration was organic and garden-style, and we brought in a range of light blues, lavender and neutral tones, along with lots of greenery to create that lush, airy look. We worked with Gathered Events on this winter wedding and love how all the details came together!

As an anchor to the ceremony space, we designed a floral arch for the altar, with blue Hydrangea and lavender Roses as the main staples — along with plenty of greenery vines flowing out. To create extra volume at the base of each side, we added four additional ground arrangements that trailed down the stairs, and matching arrangements were also placed at the front of the aisle with pillar candles.

After the ceremony, this arch framed the couple’s sweetheart table in the reception space, with the ground arrangements in front, making the newlyweds’ corner a gorgeous floral centerpiece of the room. The reception featured so many touches that worked together to create this garden-esque atmosphere — gold details for the place settings, a motif of butterflies throughout the tablescapes, a lattice wall that held the seating assignments (and which we embellished with greenery and flowers on opposite corners), and a stunning flower-iced cake, surrounded by real vines of greenery.

Two rectangular head tables flanked the sweetheart table, and we designed floral runners the length of the tables, with taper and pillar candles mixed in. The other guest tables held bud vases, simple single-bloom arrangements, and tall arrangements on clear stands to add some height.

The bridal party’s bouquets had the same organic style, and we incorporated more color for the bridesmaids’ while keeping Marisa’s bridal bouquet mostly white with subtle pops of light blue and lavender for a sweet, delicate look that stood out.
