This Springtime Soiree is What Happens When California Style Meets European Garden Party
As the springtime breeze whispered through the verdant grounds of Haven Ridge, this California-style European garden party soirée unfolded within the charming confines of the Little Chapel’s new Victorian-style solarium. Orchestrated by the creative minds at Humble Jade Events and Design and Everything Pretty Collective, this wedding inspiration was a celebration of the season’s vibrant embrace. As the day progressed, the solarium became a theater of light and color. Guests moved through a space transformed, each detail a note in a visual symphony that celebrated the union of nature and design. It was a photoshoot that not only captured the essence of spring at Haven Ridge but also the spirit of innovation that drives Humble Jade Events and Design. Every element sang in harmony, creating an experience that was as unforgettable as it was beautiful. It was a reminder that in the right hands, a space can become more than just a backdrop—it can become a story. Our photographer, Danielle Flake Photography, was keen to capture every detail that this light and space offered.

The bride wore a stunning floral jacquard strapless dress designed by Anne Barge from Bellissima Bridal in Winston-Salem, paired with an elegant vintage-inspired mantilla veil.
The tablescape became a focal point of balance and beauty. Honey-toned candles and table lamps cast a warm, inviting light, their amber radiance harmonizing with the surrounding florals. It was a tableau that spoke of elegance and warmth, a testament to the meticulous planning and stylistic flair of the event’s designers. Drawing from the planner’s California roots, the styling incorporated natural rattan woods and simplistic elements. These materials, known for their earthy charm and durability, added a layer of organic texture to the setting. The result was a design that felt both grounded and ethereal, a nod to the planner’s heritage and her ability to blend the rustic with the refined.
Textures and Hues: Embrace a variety of textures and hues to create a multidimensional effect. Use fabrics with a sheen to catch the light beautifully. Floral Pairings: Coordinate the colors of your florals with other elements like candles to create a cohesive look. Peach tones with honey shades can add a warm, inviting atmosphere. Pop of Color: Don’t be afraid to add a bold pop of color, like a pink lip, to keep the look fresh and timeless. Lighting: Utilize natural light to enhance the textures and colors. As the day progresses, introduce warm-toned lighting to maintain the ambiance. Stationery: Choose stationery that complements the theme, with hand calligraphy, floral art, and vintage motifs to reflect the romance and elegance of the setting. Napkin Folding: Add a unique touch to your tablescape with creatively folded napkins. Fold them to resemble a fan, which adds height and an interesting visual element to each place setting.
