As family and friends arrived, they were greeted by a welcome drink of lavender lemonade before making their way into the ceremony space. There, oversized baskets, masterfully arranged by Terrain's floral team, brimmed with an assortment of flowers in vivid hues of marigold, blush pink, lavender, and sun-kissed orange. It was a perfectly playful color palette that matched the warm joy of a summer wedding.

The true centerpiece of the day was the bride, Steph, who chose an ethereal Alena Leena gown complemented by her cascading locks that embodied her carefree and radiant aura. A stunning custom ring by Catbird completed her elegant yet boho look.
Steph’s bouquet was a statement piece, a lush collection of her favorite flowers, tied together with a vintage silk ribbon. Wispy tendrils of Queen Anne's Lace and cosmos peeked around the more structured peonies and roses, creating a beautifully organic and romantic look.
The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, each tailored slightly to represent their own unique personality, while still adhering to the overall garden theme. The groom and groomsmen wore boutonnieres made of ranunculus and sprigs of rosemary, symbolizing remembrance.
Wicker baskets full of wildflowers greeted guests for the wedding ceremony. Terrain Events created an asymmetrical natural wildflower installation on a structure that could only be described as reminiscent of the Victorian era. The greenery incorporated into the asymmetrical installation blended perfectly with the natural trees surrounding the ceremony space.
After the wedding ceremony, the bride removed the detachable sleeves to create a more playful reception look, complete with tulle bow straps.
For the reception, the centerpieces were a mix of vintage glass bud vases, each filled with a unique assortment of flowers. The mix of pastels, deep hues, and whimsical blooms created a dynamic visual throughout the space. Each table was adorned with floral arrangements of varying heights, intertwined with delicate fairy lights that added a magical touch as the evening progressed. The garden feel was enhanced by birdcages filled with flowers and votive candles hung from trees around the venue with pathways lined by lanterns and more bud vases.
