English Garden Wedding With a Tropical Twist

Photography by Scott Smallin  


I'd like to share a few photos from Becky and Eric's charming English Garden themed wedding we had the privilege of planning this past August (Thank you Scott from Scott Smallin Photography) .  Becky and Eric are from the Chicago area, and as with many of our out of town clients, we began planning via email and phone.  They wanted an intimate ceremony in a romantic setting with their children and closest family and friends followed by a private dinner reception.   Becky loved the look of English Garden, but also wanted to incorporate a bit of a tropical feel.   The Dunes Golf and Beach Club provided the perfect setting and Kelly at Little Shop of Flowers brought our ideas to life to translate the ceremony site into a miniature English Garden .  A subtle wave and coral design on the wedding cake, the tropical print of the groomsmen's shirts and steel drum music for the ceremony and dinner reception integrated the tropical element.  The outcome was truly enchanting.  We loved working with Becky and Eric and wish them many more enchanted days together as husband and wife!




Children of the Bride & Groom served as their attendants.
Wrought iron cages overflowing with gorgeous flowers hung from shepherds hooks to decorate the aisle for the ceremony then were moved to the dining room to be used as centerpieces.

The Bride's son escorted her down the aisle, presented her in marriage and also acted as an attendant.  When reviewing the reply he would give when asked the question, "Who gives this woman to be married to this man" without missing a beat replied "who'd want her"???





Becky's gorgeous bouquet of pink cymbidium orchids, peonies, garden and spray roses in shades of ivory and pinks.  A necklace belonging to the Bride's father woven into the bouquet added a sentimental element.

I abolutely ADORED these centerpieces.
