To mimic the potted plants and trees beneath the reception tent, we designed a chic escort display to guide guests to their tables accented by green moss and chic succulents at the entrance.

Don't settle for one cake flavor when you can have two. This cake was inspired by the beautiful lace and florals on our bride's wedding dress—complete with sugar flowers that looked life-like. Think: Almond cake with raspberry rose jam and chambord buttercream and funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream to accommodate both bride and groom's sweet tooth!

Whether your aesthetic is glamorous, modern, or bohemian, the beauty of an outdoor tented reception is that you can make it feel whatever suits your style. 🌸 Planning + Design @laurynprattes Photography @abbyjiu Flowers @hollychapple Catering @occasionscaterers Decor @bd3design Dance floor overlay @grofikinstallations Calligraphy and paper @karaanne_paper Videography @87andsmith Bride @awolf_curvemodel Makeup @novabeautycolleactive @makeupbyanab Hair @jeromeobryhair Tent and rentals @selecteventgroup 
The glass-enclosed greenhouse at @ballyfindemesne was one of our favorite aspects of the whole property. For @lpe_ramsey’s Irish estate wedding, we knew we wanted to highlight it somehow and opted to have cocktail hour on the adjacent lawn before the reception. The decor was purposefully minimal yet elegant to let the home's character and the Irish countryside's beauty take center stage.

Summer nights are made for al fresco dining—and we can't wait for warmer days like this ahead! One of our favorite spots in Charlottesville, @keswick_hall, offers the most picturesque setting on their back terrace for guests to enjoy under the stars (not-to-mention the truffle fries). We can’t wait for it to reopen later this year! Photography @abbyjiu 
A creative ceremony backdrop to give the illusion of floating bouquets, which we repurposed at the reception afterward to give some additional fresh florals. 💐 PS how cute are these precious flower girls?! Photography @abbyjiu Floral @edgefloraleventdesigners Venue @hayadamshotel

Dinner is where Stephany and Brayden’s personalities really came to life—during their outdoor evening soiree. As self-proclaimed “wine nerds,” they paired each dish with wine they loved. But they weren’t just any wines. The couple included the 2009 La Rioja Alta “Viña Ardanza” Reserva and the 2010 Château Lynch-Moussas Pauillac as nods to their respective trips to Rioja in Spain and Bordeaux in France. 🍷 Planning + Design @lpe_ramsey @laurynprattes Photography @abbyjiu Videography @joshgooden Floral & Decor @amaryllisinc Catering @occasionscaterers Wine @corkandforkdc Tabletop & Scullery @maisondecarine Tenting @sugarplumtents Draping @fabeventsdc Lighting @summiteventlighting Round table rentals and bar @bd3design Rentals @accenteventrentals @nuagedesignsinc @emersonjamesrental Cocktail and reception band @elanartists Dinner musicians @sagestringquartet Cake @bttrcrmbakeshop Venue @eventsatandersonhouse

Something blue 💙 One of our favorite escort displays we have ever created was for this summer soiree at the @willard_intercontinentaldc, better known as the “President’s Hotel.” Featuring tiny gold corbels where mini Presidential busts sat atop, leading guests to their table, honored the location perfectly. Happy Presidents’ Day! 🇺🇸 Planning + Design @laurynprattes Photography @abbyjiu Florals @amaryllisinc Calligraphy @lhcalligraphy Venue @willard_intercontinentaldc
