Caitlin and Zach’s wedding at The Hillside Estate has such an elegant neutral color palette that still said “summer” with a light and airy mix of cream and taupe tones and pops of black — a modern spin on a classic palette. The details, driven by the team at Gathered Events, were so gorgeous and gave this event an element of sophistication.

The ceremony had a natural-style arch growing up from the ground — baby’s breath was a mainstay throughout this entire wedding and was first featured here for a subtle statement at the altar. Pink roses were tucked throughout for soft pops of color. We also designed ground arrangements for the start of the aisle and added clusters of pillar candles along with rose petals down the aisle.

For cocktail hour after the ceremony, we designed a greenery installation on the outdoor mantle and two small arrangements to embellish the champagne seating chart that flanked the fireplace. The simple addition of greenery and candles can make a space like this feel that much more upscale.

The reception had the perfect airy yet intimate and moody feel, especially after dark, with furniture and linens in light neutrals, plentiful baby’s breath and pillar, taper and floating candles. We designed a mix of tall and low arrangements for the guest tables, and some were complemented by bud vases of Anemones for a pop of black. A high-volume garland of baby’s breath and ivory flowers sat on the head table, layered over a gorgeous floral-applique tablecloth.
