Real Wedding: Serena and Alvin, Joie Elie Photography, Torne Valley Vineyard

Last fall we were lucky enough to design the florals and vintage furniture for Serena and Alvin as they married at Torne Valley Vineyard in Hillburn, NY. It was a beautiful, warm fall day perfect for walking the grounds of the rolling hills and lovely vineyard. Serena chose a mostly black and white palette for the personal flowers with pops of green and purple inside the reception tent. All of the images below were captured by Joie Elie Photography.

The couple also treated guests to a vintage cigar lounge created from our vintage furniture on the front porch of the estate. It was the perfect way for guests to relax and unwind after the dancing had been done.

Old Meets New: Feature on The Wedding Chicks with Julie Paisley Photography

The Wedding Chicks have been giving us so much love lately, we thought it was about time we share a styled shoot they featured of ours a while back. We had the privilege of designing florals and rentals for a Julie Paisley Photography workshop in South Jersey. The red, purple, and yellow fall palette was so refreshing and the hanging sweetheart table our very own Dave made is divine!

Fall in Love. . .Fall Wedding Floral and Event Design Inspiration

My favorite yoga instructor, Jillian Pransky, once described the fall season as the time where mother nature prepares herself for the long restful winter. "[Mother Nature] has offered so much of herself – support, beauty, food, and well being. Now the earth takes time to replenish and rejuvenate so she can rise up again and sustain us. And she does this over and over and over again. And so shall we."

Look familiar? Unexpected fall florals!

But before she rests for the winter, Mother Nature gives us such a wonderful palette of colors and textures and smells to play with. The fall is a very romantic season for all of these reasons and so we thought it appropriate, as the leaves begin to change, that we share with you some fall wedding/event design inspiration.



Love the variety of elements in each one



OK, so maybe not a crow for a wedding, but think of the possibilities. What about the couple's monogram? And the crow would work well for a more casual Fall affair. I just love the use of an actual pumpkin but in a sophisticated way.

That is a tomato! Fall is the perfect time to incorporate fruits and vegetables into your design because the colors work so well. And the barn . . .heaven!

How simple and elegant is this? Berries in vintage bottles.

* As for the first picture of the couples and balloons. . .Very, very rarely do we advocate the use of balloons in our event designs for personal aesthetic preferences, however I am all about this oversized, carnival balloon trend.
