Nothing beats planning a wedding for a couple who genuinely, wholeheartedly adore each other. Our sweet couple Rachel and Curt had been together for a lifetime, and their love for one another was an absolute joy to be surrounded by. We loved forming a friendship with these guys and designing their perfect day – from their vows to their speeches, every moment radiated sincere love, emotion and authenticity, exactly the way a wedding should be.
“Botanical romance” was our creative brief, and the sprawling gardens of Fins Plantation House became the perfect natural backdrop for Rach and Curt’s Tweed Coast celebration. We based our design around an earthy pastel palette, incorporating plenty of crisp whites and dark timbers with accents of blush, peach and gold to soften the look.
These two tied the knot in a heartfelt ceremony overlooking the picturesque Tweed Valley, elegantly styled with walnut bentwood chairs and cascading blooms against a white geometric backdrop. Guests then enjoyed a relaxed cocktail hour and lawn games in the garden, before making their way to an undercover reception dripping with lush florals and twinkling strings of fairy lights.
We styled each long table with a mix of ornate crystal vases, simple floral posies, oatmeal linen napkins and tapered candles to create a classically romantic setting filled with warmth and intimacy. From the custom copper-framed seating chart to the epic bridal table installation and luxe champagne tower, no detail was overlooked to bring this modern garden party to life for a truly well-deserving couple.
We have the happiest memories from our time spent with Rachel and Curt – from sharing wedding planning sessions over a glass of wine, to driving the newlyweds home at the end of the night.
