They emphasized the venue’s natural beauty, aiming for a botanical bohemian wildflower vibe with a touch of elegance. Their color palette was earthy and vintage, featuring moss-green satin bridesmaid dresses and floral arrangements that resembled a random gathering of wildflower buds.

The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers, and the gentle sound of the brook added a soothing ambiance to the celebration. Guests arrived and were immediately taken by the beauty of the surroundings, setting the tone for the day.
A Garden Ceremony
The ceremony took place in the heart of the gardens, where guests were seated among the flowers and trees. Lauren looked stunning as she walked down the aisle.
