Food + Cake Wedding Films masterfully captured the magic of this enchanted forest wedding design through their expert cinematic videography and storytelling artistry. Their creative approach brought the fairytale ambiance of this woodland wedding scene to life!



LK Bridal Studio coupled rich green photographic elements with soft, textured pieces for the stationery and signage elements throughout the design. Their suite began with a double-layer invitation featuring a luxurious script font and pale greenery details. Secured with a mauve ribbon, the invitation was nestled in an envelope lined with a beautiful woodsy scene. 

Many printed pieces, including the invitation, name cards, RSVP, details card, menu, and table numbers, featured torn edges to add a delicate, organic touch. For a charming introduction to the ceremony, guests were greeted by white cut vinyl installed on a mirror reflecting the beauty of nature surrounding the venue.



B-Style Floral & Gifts expertly handled the concept, co-coordination, design, and florals for this breathtaking wedding design. Their exceptional talent for floral artistry was evident in every detail, with creative flair ensuring that each bloom and arrangement contributed to a cohesive and captivating atmosphere. 

From a winding, floral-lined aisle leading to a stunning ceremony arch bursting with white blooms to a statement bridal bouquet featuring a magical smoky quartz crystal handle, modern and romantic reception arrangements, and so much more, their array of elegant blooms and lush foliage brought elegance and enchantment to every corner of the celebration.



Beautifully styled by Bridal Boutique, the bride embodied her forest fairytale vision in a flowing A-line gown adorned with whimsical bow details on the shoulders. Her bridesmaids wore soft, creamy neutral dresses, perfectly complementing the elegant, earthy tones of the day.



Beta Blue Beauty created a stunning yet natural look for the bride and her bridesmaids. Soft, elegant hairstyles paired with subtle, glowing makeup enhanced each person's natural beauty, creating an effortlessly refined style that perfectly complemented the day's earthy, romantic atmosphere.



The groom made a statement in a rich purple suit from Men's Wearhouse, paired with a beige vest and crisp white shirt. Complemented by brown leather shoes, a floral-patterned tie, and a unique pocket boutonniere, his look struck the perfect balance of elegance and bold style, perfectly suited for an evening of woodland romance.



A showstopping reception table was nestled beneath a canopy of sparkling lights, casting a soft, magical glow over the elegantly arranged setting. Carried over from the ceremony, the tablescape featured several stunning rental pieces from Event Essentials, including their exquisite "French Country Natural Chairs," which added a touch of rustic charm. Gold chargers and flatware gleamed against a neutral linen tablecloth, while white plates were complemented by gold-detailed napkins and elegant amber glassware. 

Lush, elevated floral arrangements, low Ikebana-style designs, and dreamy taper candles from B-Style Floral & Gifts completed the look, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere enveloped in greenery for the fairytale-like celebration.



Bobbi Peterson Photography beautifully captured the essence of this enchanting wedding design with her signature elegant and timeless style. Her dreamy, romantic fine art imagery perfectly showcased the woodland setting and captivating details, preserving the day's magic and charm in each stunning photograph.



A showstopping cake from Cowboy David's Bakery was a two-tiered white masterpiece, featuring a textured finish adorned with elegant white flowers. Delicate gold foil detailing shimmered across the design, while small twigs were artfully intertwined, echoing the surrounding woodland setting and adding a perfect natural touch.



A cozy lounge tent provided an ideal retreat to unwind and soak in the enchanting atmosphere. Inside, guests could relax on plush seating, enjoy engaging conversations, and indulge in delectable EventCup desserts from Cowboy David's Bakery, creating a charming, romantic escape right in the heart of the celebration!
