They chose a historic estate in New England that has luscious gardens and accented all of their design elements with overgrown greenery and floral arrangements.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

It was truly one of my favorite weddings to design. This couple allowed their English garden vision to brought to life by the florals and the estate. We had beautiful overgrown garden arrangements for the ceremony, to the framed floral entrance of the tent to their stunning centerpieces. We incorporated so many elements to bring England to the states including vintage post box and telephone booth. Their crest was a nod to England’s crown which was on their invitations, menu and cups. They even had badminton available for guests to play throughout the evening. As a nod to their home in Bermuda, we had vintage Veuve boxes, black and white dance floor and rattan chandeliers with touches of greenery.
