Our couple Maddy and Blake got married at The Hillside Estate and we worked with the wonderful Gathered Events team to design and execute on the perfect ivory-and-green May wedding that felt so fresh and classic and really prioritized the guest experience with unique touches like a champagne seating chart and an outdoor dance party at the end of the reception.

A garden-style disconnected floral arch marked the altar, which we filled with romantic blooms like Hyndragea, Roses and Delphinium. The aisle was lined with ground arrangements to tie in perfectly with the arch. Cocktail hour followed and the venue’s courtyard space made the perfect backdrop - we added greenery to the string lights and designed an installation for the mantle of the outdoor fireplace for the garden accents, along with pops of flowers to accent the bar signs.

The reception was held partially inside, where we repurposed the ceremony arch behind the sweetheart table. Guest tables had clean, modern centerpieces and were decorated with dispersed garland pieces with candles styled in between, and white Rose arrangements in glass cases on other tables. A tent was set up so the party could migrate back outside for dancing while staying protected from rain.

The bridal party’s bouquets were all long-stem white roses, which continued the clean, neutral palette with some added dimension in the bridesmaids’ taupe gowns.
