Cypress Grove Estate House: Liz and Leo

It’s every couple’s dream to have a wedding that is classic and elegant, but still has a few unique touches that make the day personal and all their own. Few manage to make that dream come true, but Liz and Leo, with a little help from RW Events, LLC, made it happen.

The event began with a sweet, beautiful outdoor ceremony at Cypress Grove Estate House, with every moment captured by Amalie Orrange Photography.

Liz stunned as she walked down the aisle. Her look totally blew us away! From her makeup and hair to her oh-so-gorgeous dress from Hayley Paige, it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into her look that day. Just look at the metallic bodice on that dress! To complement it, we created Liz’s bridal bouquet with hydrangeas, garden roses, and dusty miller.

After the ceremony, the festivities began! The reception had been meticulously planned with the blush and gold theme in mind, from the metallic sweetheart table, to the topper and flowers on the delicious buttercream cake created by Party Flavors Custom Cakes. The floral arrangements for this reception were a joy to create. We wanted something classic, yet different, so we opted for hydrangeas, garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, seeded eucalyptus, leucadendron and dusty miller.

Congratulations, Liz and Leo! You make a beautiful couple, and we hope your life together is just as wonderful and fun as your wedding day was! Speaking of the wedding day, we were honored to work alongside these amazing vendors to make it happen:

Bella Collina: Nick and Kristen

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. It’s the perfect way to describe Kristen and Nick’s wedding at Bella Collina. The planning and design of the classic white wedding were by none other than Alison Watkins of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and she did a marvelous job, as usual.

The ceremony was simple, classic, and elegant. The couple made their vows below a beautifully crafted floral arch, Kristen looking every bit the beautiful, blushing bride. Her bridal bouquet, created with blush and ivory roses, was the perfect complement to Nick’s white rose boutonniere.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests took the party indoors for an awesome reception. Floral centerpieces adorned the tables, greenery lusciously draped across the sweetheart table, but the star of the show – other than the bride and groom, of course – was the cake. Created by Party Flavors Custom Cakes, the majestic five-tier confection stood tall, beautifully offset by the floral arrangements on each side. Classic and delicious!

Congratulations, Kristen and Nick! We hope the rest of your lives together is as beautiful as your wedding day. We’re glad to have been a part of it, but we couldn’t have made it as great as it was without these amazing vendors:
