LAUREN + WALT : PROVIDENCE HILL FARM

Providence Hill Farm is such a dream venue for a wedding! It is a stunning equestrian center and home to some very lucky horses. The landscape is so gorgeous and wholesome! Here are a few details from the wedding that we were so thrilled to be a part of on March 6th.

For Lauren and Walt's wedding, we created a European inspired look with pretty little vintage details. We choose a cream tone on tone color palette for all of the bouquets and floral arrangements. White washed containers, lace, and feathers were seen throughout all of the florals that evening. The bridal bouquet included blooms such as white roses, white mini calla lilies, white ranunculus, and white dahlias. The bouquet was wrapped in a cream ribbon with lace treatment. To complete the vintage look, we pinned Lauren's family heirloom cameo earrings to the stems of the bouquet. The bridesmaids' bouquets included white roses, balsa wood flowers, creamy ranunculus and white ostrich feathers.

For the ceremony, we brought in an antique fireplace mantle that was splashed with romantic candle treatment and white picture frames that featured pictures of crosses. For the entrance, we wanted to wow the guests, so we created this shabby chic tree complete hydrangea balls and hundreds of crystals that stood on two vintage suitcases. We added white blooms at the base to add a fuller effect, candle light to illuminate the tree, and apothecary jars with floating white blooms.

It was absolutely breathtaking coming through the doors to Providence Hill Farm. There were over 500 guests at the ceremony and the reception and there could not have been a better venue. Lauren looked absolutely beautiful with her designer gown and bouquet in hand!

Here are some of our favorite detail photos from the wedding:

I get to look at my beautiful wedding dress everyday as it sits on display at the studio. I also showcase my lovely collection of milk glass on a piece of my Grandma Caye's refinished antique furniture piece.
Our delicious dessert display for the party. This is my Great Grandmother Pearl's antique dresser accented with a beautiful piece of white lace. Life just wouldn't be complete without antiques and lace........ and dessert of course!
Vendula roses and scabiosa pods were arranged in antique black pedestal vases.A shot of the original school room chalkboard that we use to leave messages for our clients when we are out of the studio.
