Juli + Randy's Garden-Inspired, Mid-Century Modern Wedding at Hotel Drover

Juli and Randy leaned into a unique garden-inspired style for their wedding at Hotel Drover — the perfect venue that Shannon Rose Events helped bring to life with mid-century modern design elements, influenced by the couple’s own home, mixed in with naturalistic grasses, plants and floral textures.

The ceremony was held in a clear tent next to the hotel’s ballroom — the altar in the center, surrounded by the guest seating on almost all sides — the aisle weaved through the chairs, and strategically placed plants, arrangements and grasses clustered together created a garden-like effect. Touches like the black chairs added a mid-century modern contrast to the natural feel of the flowers that mimicked landscaping.

The reception, held indoors, was designed to feel like an upscale cocktail lounge — smaller seating areas, low lighting and lamps and candles throughout brought the ambiance. The guest tables themselves were kept simple — with bud vases and votive candles down the center. In between these rectangular tables, a mix of short and raised arrangements lined more tables. Filled out with plants and lanterns, this made for such a unique yet fitting statement and centerpiece for the room.

Black pergolas tied in with other dark touches throughout, and were draped with greenery that helped accentuate the textures in the table arrangements — a relatively simple addition that made a big impact in transforming the space.

Juli’s bouquet was made up of all ivory and white blooms — Peonies, Gardenia, Roses, Ranunculus and Sweet Pea, for an elegant, modern addition to her a-line gown.
