The Club at Hillbrook, CHAGRIN FALLS, OH

C + D wished for a romantic, Midsummer Night’s Dream inspired fairytale of a wedding. With the stately manor of The Club at Hillbrook as a backdrop we gave them just that. Jewel toned florals and dripping greenery ruled the floral plan  Starting with the ceremony, the decadence was evident. Romantic florals spilled over edge of the tea house’s roofline and into its window boxes framing our ceremony space. Lush florals sprang from the ground on either side of the aisle and even the terrace’s entrance gate was adorned with greenery and flowers. The bride tucked blooms into her hair which was loosely braided and fell down her back. Our couple lives in the south and so as a post ceremony refreshment, guests were invited to partake in a sweet tea station on their way to cocktail hour. As we asked guests to their seats on the covered terrace for dinner, they found their names among a living garden display of hand lettered cloches surrounded by blooms. Sumptuous velvet linens topped our guest’s dinner tables and were bedecked with overflowing compotes of floral in rich tones. The couple and their party sat at a king’s table covered in flowers, fruits, and berries, and above them a canopy of greenery and hanging amaranthus was strung between river birch tree posts. After dinner, guests entered another space designed for lounging and dancing where a bevy of desserts, soft seating, bistro tables, and our DJ awaited to party the night away.
