While there are many advantages to choosing a traditional venue for a wedding, there are so many reasons to love all that a private estate or family home has to offer as well. Intimacy, comfort, and not to mention the special memories. We loved working with Lauren and Walker on their private estate wedding last summer that brought family and friends together in a meaningful space to celebrate their love.
From the beginning Lauren had envisioned an outdoor celebration filled with beautiful florals and romantic textures throughout the design. Luckily, the private estate property that they hosted their wedding on had all of the beautifully landscaped features that would allow this vision to come to life, beginning with the ceremony on the lawn. Guests were seated in walnut folding chairs on either side of a cement walkway leading to the ceremony altar. Vanda Floral Designs created two breathtaking floral columns which would serve as the backdrop for Lauren and Walker’s vows. Loose greenery and shades of blush, mauve, and orange blooms filled the floral columns which also echoed the colorful bouquet that Lauren carried.
Cocktails and bite sized eats by Bay Laurel Culinary were held poolside while the reception would be held on the lush green lawn. The long family-style tables were placed beneath the shade of mature trees and bistro lights that were strung overhead for ambiance. Colorful floral centerpieces and blush linen napkins popped against the crisp white table linens and white distressed bistro chairs.
Our newlyweds received a warm welcome and cheers from their guests as they made their grand entrance from across the lawn! Meaningful toasts were shared in honor of Lauren and Walker and the rest of the reception was spent enjoying fine food and wine, and great company in the comfort of the beautiful private estate property.
Cheer to our newlyweds and thank you to our incredible vendor team for helping us bring together this truly magical summer day!
