This summer wedding at River Farm was one of the first “repeat” weddings that we designed since the start of the pandemic, and it was every bit as epic as you would expect! If having their 2020 wedding plans compromised by the pandemic wasn’t enough, their original wedding venue was sold! A summer River Farm wedding, though, turned out to be the perfect mood for Caitlin and Sean’s celebration.
Caitlin and Sean did, in fact, have a stylish covid wedding before a small crowd of close family and friends on their original wedding date. But what had initially been a fall celebration at the Carnegie Institute, a venue noteworthy for its architectural features, became a summer fete amidst lush gardens with dinner under the tent. Noteworthy details from their big day include a fabulous floral arch for the ceremony, whimsical flowers skirting the cocktail tables, two distinct centerpiece designs and a lush sweetheart table arrangement. To lend a more summery feel to the burgundy hues, we introduced coral garden roses and blush pink dahlia as well as brighter green foliages like geranium leaf and ruscus. We used hundreds of blooms to construct the arch and with our team’s characteristic super efficiency, our team finished the installation in under an hour, which was an impressive feat in the summer heat!
