Ashley from Esprit Floral Co had a vision to transform Villa Francesca into a dreamy, fairy garden reminiscent of a scene from Bridgerton. The floral arrangements were designed to have lots of movement, filled with purples, pinks, and peach tones that brought the garden to life.

The ceremony space was nothing short of magical. Grand floral installations framed the altar, creating an enchanting backdrop for the vows. The use of lush florals made the space feel like a hidden garden, adding an element of surprise and wonder.

The dining tables were equally captivating. Filled to the brim with lush florals and clay vases, they offered a feast for the eyes. Each table was a visual masterpiece, with blooms spilling over to create a sense of abundance and luxury.

Bryce Gaston Events took Ashley’s floral vision and enhanced it with luxurious event design elements. Neutral and modern dining chairs were chosen to complement the vibrant florals, while dinner plates with a clay-like texture added an earthy feel.

The table design played with the combination of many textures to create a refined aesthetic. Elegant table runners draped gracefully over the dining table at each seat, added a touch of whimsical sophistication. The tables were perfectly situated under striking twinkle lights, creating a romantic ambiance that lasted into the evening.

The stationery design was the perfect complement to the tabletop decor. Incorporating natural textures like velvet and deckled edges, the stationery added an elegant feel that tied everything together. Papermade Studio’s attention to detail ensured that the stationery was not just functional but also a work of art. Each piece was carefully crafted to enhance the overall aesthetic of the wedding, adding another layer of luxury.

From the butter knives to the bride’s stunning butterfly shoes, every detail was meticulously thought out. The result was a cohesive design that felt both luxurious and whimsical, capturing the essence of fairy garden dreams.

The day was beautifully captured by fine art photographer Mirelle Carmichael and expert content creator Cupid Content Co. Their expertise and artistic visions ensured that every element of the day was showcased in a way that will allow you to feel the atmosphere of the day forever.
