THE COLOR STORY

Five colors.
Your own balance.

Use one or two as the foundation and let the others appear in smaller details.

Screen colors vary. Check fabric, paper, and flower samples together in the light where you will use them.

Garden ink

Use ivory for linen, dusty rose in flowers, sage in foliage, soft gold in small table details, and garden ink for readable paper.

BRING THE FEELING INTO THE ROOM

Relaxed and romantic, with flowers that feel at home in their surroundings.

A garden, courtyard, conservatory, or bright room opening onto a planted terrace.

01

The table

Use ivory linen, simple glassware, and low arrangements. Leave enough clear space for serving dishes and conversation across the table.

02

The flowers

Ask for a seasonal mix in cream and soft rose, with loose foliage. Agree on substitutes within the palette before choosing particular blooms.

03

The paper

Warm white menus with readable serif type and a small sage detail carry the garden indoors if the weather changes.

04

The light

Visit at the time you expect to dine. Plan gentle overhead light and clearly lit paths for the hours after sunset.

MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR LIFE

A look you can
make your own.

One long table suits a smaller gathering. Across a larger garden, repeat the palette and cluster flowers where guests will sit.

Leave room for what matters.

Bring in flowers, words, or meaningful objects you both choose, with room for traditions to keep their own purpose.

01

Spend where it shows.

Use the garden as the backdrop and rent simple vessels; put the flower allowance toward the tables guests share.

02

Make comfort part of the plan.

Check the full route for steps and soft ground, and offer shaded seats with backs near the gathering.

03

Before you commit.

  • Confirm a covered alternative with the same seated capacity.
  • Check shade, wind exposure, and firm paths between spaces.
  • Choose one floral focal point before adding smaller arrangements.
  • Name who will move ceremony flowers, and allow time.
