Color palettes, textures, and florals…OH MY! Today’s inspiration shoot at Sherwood Country Club is full of stunning textures, jaw-dropping floral arrangements, and a dreamy color palette all perfectly detailed by Kelly Patrice! When piecing together this shoot, Kelly wanted to look outside of the box (and the traditional ballroom) and utilize their lawn which is a true showstopper! From a champagne wall and unique welcome sign to a mix of blush and terracotta tones, this shoot had it all and don’t even get me started on Creative Light Design’s captivating florals. Take a peek below to see all of the magic captured by the one and only Jenny Quicksall. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
From Kelly Patrice…Sherwood Country Club is known for its traditional, classic designs with an emphasis on their brick and stately entrance into the club. When designing, I wanted to push the boundaries and do something a little unexpected, both in design and in space! Most of the weddings held at Sherwood utilize their expansive ballroom, but their lawn is the true showstopper for me. Oftentimes it is challenging for our clients to visualize what another style would look like at a venue that leans one specific way. My goal for this shoot (and in general) was to break those boundaries, put emphasis on vendors that have a more organic and textured look, and to have a lot of fun with flat lays.
I designed the ceremony space to take place on their beautifully kept lawn, looking out onto the gorgeous club and their entryway. Creative Light Design used the walkway as her inspiration and did growing greenery up the walkway as well as floor pieces that allowed the club and its trees to do the talking. We used benches as the seating for ceremony space, to bring in a little bit of a casual feel, rather than fancy chairs.
The bride was dressed by Lovella Bridal and wore two different gowns, something a bit more revealing, to bring her personality into the day.
The groom was dressed by Friar Tux, and also sported two different looks! We dressed him in tan, to allow the venue’s brick and expansive lawn to do the talking with color.
The stationery was an area that we put a lot of emphasis on. I always feel that it sets the tone of an event, and in this case, it really showcases the feel that we were going for. I designed a simple crest that we also used on the signage, to tie everything all together. Jenny Quicksall, the photographer, styled all of the flat lays perfectly and utilized the florals to be the perfect balance between paper and style.
I had the most fun designing the signage and cocktail hour space. Because the space still leans very traditional, we did a beautiful back bar filled with champagne glasses, custom calligraphy escort cards, and a silk ribbon adornment on each glass merging the playful/organic design with the traditional classic venue. All of the signage was done in bold colors, to bring in a little “pop” to what seems to be a very neutral palette. I love to get playful with signage, as it’s an area that you can add personality and also turn into a photo op moment for guests.
All of the rentals were hand-selected from Party Pleasers and brought the perfect amount of comfy to the venue. The lounge was the true showstopper, with pops of tan, mustard, and white that completely pops against the venue.
Lastly, the reception space. I decided to do the tables in an area that typically holds the ceremony. The farm tables adorned the layered and textured plates, as well as the stunning rose heavy florals. We wanted this space to feel a bit more formal, with brass bentwood chairs and tall taper candles.
