A timeless tented garden wedding at a historic museum

In the tranquil embrace of Winterthur's expansive gardens, Hailey and Paul's vision for the perfect garden party wedding came to life, orchestrated with the expert touch of Kyle Michelle Weddings. Known for their meticulous planning and elegant design, they transformed the natural landscape into a romantic, storybook setting. The serene gardens and majestic backdrops were captured exquisitely by our talented associate shooter, Sarah, who has a flair for seizing heartfelt moments and the subtle grandeur of nature-infused settings. The private, lush settings of the Winterthur Museum offered an intimate backdrop for Hailey and Paul’s first moments together on their special day.

Hailey's elegant choice of a simple yet sophisticated gown mirrored the natural beauty surrounding her, complemented by her neatly styled low bun and pearl earrings—a nod to timeless bridal elegance. Paul, in his sharp navy tuxedo, stood beside her, epitomizing classic style. Together, they looked as though they had walked straight out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, embodying the classic romance and style of a bygone era.

Underneath the ancient boughs and amidst the verdant lushness provided by Fresh Designs Florist, the couple exchanged vows. The aisle, adorned with a soft palette of green and white florals, seemed a natural extension of the garden floor. Sarah captured every smile, tear, and tender exchange, preserving the purity and joy of their union against the historic elegance of Winterthur Museum.

As the celebration unfolded, the garden party theme truly came into its own under the expansive canopy of a grand sailcloth tent on the museum grounds. The reception area was transformed into an enchanted garden. Towering trees and sweeping greenery climbed along the tent poles, mingling with ethereal white floral arrangements that seemed to sprout organically from the earth.

The seating chart appeared as if a garden itself had taken root on the table. Surrounded by an abundance of white florals and greenery, elegantly displayed place cards invited guests to their seats, not merely directing them, but drawing them into the magic of the evening. This creative display was not only functional but a significant element of décor, enhancing the luxurious atmosphere and blending the allure of nature with the sophistication of a modern celebration.
