A light and enchanting color palette of whites and blues contributed to a whimsical theme with lush florals which delicately complimented the natural beauty of the castle. From the ceremony setting with colossal urns set amidst the stone arches of the castle, and a sprawling tablescape with stunning overhead arches flanking the dinner area, the design played a pivotal role in transforming the castle into a floral dreamland. The facade of the castle in combination with the beautiful lakeview, served as the perfect backdrop for this fairytale celebration.

Overgrowing organic greenery combined with pops of white and light blue tones created the perfect balance between romance and refinement. Gold-accented tableware and crystal glassware added a luxurious touch, creating an atmosphere that was both timeless and contemporary.[/field]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Frog Prince Weddings’ florals were a poetic composition of nature’s finest, with bouquets and arrangements brimming with blue delphiniums, ivory roses, and verdant foliage. Nuage Designs complemented these with classic furniture and linens, creating a harmonious blend of color and texture that elevated the visual experience.[/field]

[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]The most captivating design element was the harmonious blend of the floral arrangements with the heritage architecture of Castle Leslie. The way the florals adorned the stone balustrades and the grand entrance, they seemed to grow from the very walls of the castle, blurring the lines between man-made and natural beauty.[/field]

[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]To replicate this look, focus on the cohesion of color and texture. Choose a venue that offers both history and natural beauty, and accent it with florals that both contrast and complement the surroundings. Attention to detail is paramount—select attire and decor that speak to the environment and the story you wish to tell.[/field]

[field title=”DIY Moments”]Although the grandeur of Castle Leslie speaks for itself, personal touches can be found in the hand-selected styling accessories. The Styling Reserve’s ring boxes and April Raymond and Locust Collection’s styling mats offer inspiration for couples to incorporate bespoke elements that reflect their personal journey into their own wedding aesthetic.[/field]
