After cocktails and conversation, guests are invited to the upper English Walled Garden for dinner where they arrive at an exquisitely set table surrounded by stone columns and lush greenery. An oversized floral statement piece sweeps beautifully across the center of the table and is filled with lush garden roses amongst softer color blooms and vines. Delicately placed Ivy brings a fresh look and feel to each place setting. Guests enjoy a fresh and savory meal on the modern place settings at a table covered with a textured linen with creamy ivory tones and a touch of luxurious sheen providing the perfect balance of natural style and elegance.

A beautifully embellished cathedral veil is intentionally placed low over her loose and wavy hairstyle for a fresh and modern look. Her bridal look is completed with hanging floral earrings and sparkling rose gold shoes. She holds a large, unstructured and airy bouquet filled with large summer blooms and accented with the perfect trailing hand-dyed natural silk ribbon.
