Emily and Brandon’s wedding unfolded as a quiet, atmospheric celebration rooted in the landscape itself.

Set on a former horse farm turned creative retreat, the day embraced the softness of a rainy fall afternoon and transformed it into something intimate and cinematic.

The floral concept focused on bringing the outdoors in. Inspired by the textures and tones of an East Coast autumn, the palette wove together golden foliage, heather-green grasses, garden-grown cosmos, and warm notes of anemone dahlias in orange, pink, and peach. Strings of dates, persimmons, and cascading amaranthus added depth and contrast, animating the white walls and grounding the space in a sense of place.

Lush standing and hanging installations created the feeling of a landscape that had grown naturally into the room. Even as rain fell outside, the florals brought life and warmth indoors, resulting in a celebration that felt woodsy, enveloping, and quietly magical.
