The summer air drifts past as soonlyweds, Elise and Paul prepare for their forever. With a garden party theme, The Gardens at Heather Farm was the perfect host to this brightly-colored occasion in June 2024. Pinks, purples, blues, and yellows sprinkle the many details this special occasion brings. Dive in deeper to see the sweetest smiles and the most vibrant colors. This is truly a celebration that you won’t want to scroll past!

Pre-Ceremony
With preparations in full motion, Elise adjusts her earrings while looking absolutely stunning in her white gown. Paul flashes a smile as a friend smooths out his collar. With the final touches complete, the two soonlyweds make their way outdoors to partake in the First Look.

Paul waits anxiously, as Elise tip-toes forward towards her groom. With one tap on the shoulder, Paul swings around to see his bride while wearing the giddiest expression on his face. Both looking happier than ever, they lean in for a kiss, surrounded by lush green trees and lively gardens.



Outdoor Ceremony
While Elise and Paul explore Heather Farm’s gorgeous grounds, their guests trickle in one by one. The weather could not have been more welcoming. Clear skies and the warm sun hung over the beautifully decorated ceremony space.

The moment is here! Paul walks arm-in-arm with his parents, and once Paul is in position, Elise follows suit.


Family and friends gather around as the pair share their love and seal it with a kiss. We especially love Elise’s expression while waving her bouquet triumphantly in the air. There is nothing better than that “we did it” moment!

Now that our couple is officially husband and wife, the guests retreat to Cocktail Hour, where they are in store for an abundance of treats!

This delicious appetizer spread provided by Elisa’s Catering definitely caught our eye and stomach! The presentation is stunning. And don’t forget the bar right around the corner, complete with cocktail and mocktail options named after their adorable fur babies.

The newlyweds strike a pose with a silly crowns and glasses in hand, smiles are all around. While waiting in line to snap a photo, guests can leave an audio message surrounded by the cutest backdrop of paper flowers or check out the seating chart to locate their seats for the evening.

Dazzling Reception
We promised details, and here they are! This gorgeous reception, blanketed in soft pastels and vibrant pops of color, was undoubtedly our cup of tea. Joe Squared & BBJ La Tavola brought the tabletop items and linens, which cohesively blended with Anne Mendenhall Flowers lovely floral selection. Fantasy Sound Event Services provided the room’s dazzling focal point of lighting and drapery that cascaded from the ballroom’s ceiling. Truly a space to behold.

Here they are! The new Mr. & Mrs! Elise and Paul boogie their way into the reception space and get comfortably settled at their sweetheart table.

Festivites
With no time to waste, once dinner is complete our bride and groom cut into their stunning wedding cake! Le Gateau Elegant served the most decadent tiered dessert complete with flowers to match.

With cake being served to their guests, Paul and Elise take to the dance floor to share a few special moments. First off, the first dance, where the newlyweds shared a sweet kiss, followed by a waltz around the floor with their loved ones.

There is one last formality before the dance floor opens: Bouquet Toss! Just as Elise waved her flowers triumphantly following the ceremony, she throws them up again one last time to the awaiting ladies across the floor.

It’s time to boogie! By the Bay Productions gets this party started, and everyone looks absolutely thrilled with the music selection.

Our most heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds, Elise & Paul! Thank you for allowing us to light up your special day!
