Paige + Justin's Elegant Autumnal Wedding at Dove Ridge Vineyard

In Texas, Autumn doesn’t always feel like Autumn outside, and sometimes weddings can require a lot of help in the way of flowers and other decor to really bring in the Falltime vibe. We worked with Shannon of Shannon Rose Events to craft the perfect light and airy autumnal wedding for Paige and Justin at Dove Ridge Vineyard in the Fort Worth area. From the ceremony to send-off, this wedding had a more neutral take on an autumnal palette, with garden inspiration driving most of the floral elements.

For the ceremony, we design a natural separated archway up at the altar — soft, lush, and the perfect statement to frame the scenic backdrop and the wedding party. The mix of golden yellow, browns and neutral shades like champagne and ivory made this organic, natural, playful and vibrant all at once.

In the reception space, we added branches and greenery to the beams that hold up the venue’s cafe lights over the dance floor — this accentuated the high ceilings, brought the eye up and added to the natural garden feel. In between these beams, guest tables held either arrangements in white-footed vases or floral-and-candle clusters. The arrangements featured orange and yellow copper beech foliage for the quintessential “fall” palette while still remaining refined- and elegant-looking.

There were a couple statements in the reception space — a large urn arrangement at the bar and a floral arch for a photo backdrop against a wall. The seating area near the bar included some blush furniture that complimented all the warm gold and brown tones. Another crucial zone of the room — the sweetheart table — was positioned in front of a fireplace embellished with lots of candlelight and surrounded by ground arrangements.

One of the most important statement moments, Paige’s bridal bouquet, leaned toward the neutral side of the color palette with just a few touches of brown and yellow. Her bridesmaids wore sage green — which meant that the ivory bouquets were the perfect accent.
