Finally, dinner ended with family style s'mores bites including house made graham crackers, house-made vanilla, strawberry and cinnamon marshmallows and choice of milk and dark chocolate bars.

Florals & Decor

Inspired by lush floral and decor embracing the historical venue, the design included a neutral palette and highlighted the ground's lush greenery. We brought in texture and romantic elements, like the stunning chuppah, tabletop details including rattan chargers, taper candles and old-world flatware details.

Wedding Cake

We brought in a pastry chef to build a heart-shaped wedding cake as the guests began dancing. The cake itself was an Italian cake topped with strawberries dusted in glitter.

As guests entered the Four Season's lawn, they were greeted into the cocktail hour with a display of Ranch Water cocktails in mini Topo Chico bottles. The custom labels included their names and wedding date.
Special Detail #2
